Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to the mailing list here and this in my first post. I grew
up new Cobourg, Ontario and have always been into C64 stuff, but until
recently I wasn't aware of the TPUG. I wish I had known before... Now I
live in Victoria, BC and meetings are a bit far!

I have a bit of a mystery... I recently began archiving my collection of
floppies to .d64 and there is one disk which I was really hoping to
recover. As a kid it got corrupted and stopped working but I was hoping I
could at least salvage something using Zoomfloppy or my 1541u2. Well its
totally gone... Nothing at all left on the disk. The game in question is
called Planet Quarx by RTC (Richvale Telecommunications). They were based
in Richmond Hill, Ontario so I was hoping that someone on this list might
know something about it. I was able to find a review of the game here:

on page 5, top right. Basically its a game where you start out dodging
asteroids on your way to Planet Quarx, and when you finally get there you
fly around on the surface. I've also attached a picture of the disk, in
case it helps. I have been unable to find this game in any of the online
collections of archives and it would be really great if someone has a copy!

Thanks,
Kevin
