THE MOVERS Treasure Chest III

A new thread with a new collection...

Here is my own collection, 3600+ disks converted for your pleasure, hopefully containing some missing or incomplete releases from the scene.

The disks were sitting in my garage in Tasmania, Australia. This is my SECOND collection of C64 wares as my first collection (disks spanning 1985-1996) along with all other earthly belongings, was destroyed with my house in 1996.

If you want me to re-convert anything, just tell me what's on the disk and the image number. Keep in mind, I will wait some time until all requests have been lodged, as I don't want to keep digging through the boxes over and over.

The collection is a 620MB 7zip file, available on the link below. Thanks to Mace for the temporary hosting.

I can't speak for elwix as he's really the brains of the operation, but ideally we'd make it where you could select releases and d/l them. I'm sure that'll be a work in progress for a long time to come, but that's the plan. Also, we'd like to use some of the pc based duplicate file finders and scan the archives. Not sure that'd work in many cases, but if we can trim them down, especially single file games/demos that would be ideal. Too often the releases have mainly been rehashes of what is already available, and then spread via torrents. I'm sure alot of people remember the renaming days for points/credits from warez spreading days. We'd like to get a more concise database, without 20 versions of the same group release in each archive. That along with the active archiving that is going on, hopefully we can get alot more done over the next year or so. Anxiously awaiting the derbyshire ram collection, and some others, and I have a contact or 2 that I'm working on to fill the gaps as well. Be looking for some good stuff over the next few months. Also, if anybody has any collections they're sitting on, please back them up. Never know when a fire, flood, or girlfriend will erase what you have. hehe.

Some time ago I asked Deadbeat for a complete mirror of good old IRC BOT Sharkbite, but he only had a rather bad copy of the website which mirrored Sharkbite back then. Bad in the sense of a few files missing from the web.archive.org dump he sent me.

I was able to retrieve a few of the missing files but there are some left to go for. See the included directory for yourself - if someone likes to complete this just for the sake of the collection, please go ahead. Not a too hard task I assume.

The original archive I got was around 80 MB. The 100 MB extended version can be grabbed here:

http://ftp.pokefinder.org/tmp/Sharkbite_TheSharks.rar

Just pass it to your collection sites and mirrors and take a moment to pray for Sharkbite :)

for the moment it would be more then enough to merge all the separate dir-lists also to one file and make it available for download or so... then you could see in which collections the files are...

Excellent work! Looks like you've already got the stuff I've got.

One thing tho, is there some way of identifying the creator of the collection, other than by the filename?

Alot of the csdb stuff is already labeled. Alot of the others, not really. We've picked them up over the years. Random links, torrents, feeds from emule/edonkey back in the day, rehashes and recompilations, etc. We try and give credit where we can, tho. Also, keep in mind we are NOT keepers of the knowlegde, so we don't want others to think "Oh, they have all those releases, now we won't have access to them", that's simply not the case. We're doing this more from the archival/scene history standpoint. Also, let me be clear about something else. In a previous message I stated we'd like to deduplicate some of the archives. While that may be true, we only plan on showing the files that have had some of the duplications taken out, and those archives put in another area. We don't intend to erase the originals. Each compilation is treated as another piece of commodore user history and will be treated as such.

Take a look at http://www.scenebase.org Elwix has updated the site and has added a response to some of the questions that I've fielded on here as well as adding some new packs to the available for download section. Please give us any feedback you have either on here or on the site.

Thanx,

Funkdog: I'm currently looking through your big archive. Amazing how many lame mags have been released in the 90s. But I like those raro Australia imports, from SSW or Mystic e.g..
