Summary
Submitted by Tom-Cat on 7 February 2022
A version of the Compilation consisting of Commando Arcade SE and Ghosts'n Goblins Arcade that works on the new TapeCart devices that plug into the Tape port of your c64.
Working perfectly fine on original TapeCart devices and modern VICE emulator versions.
On TapeCartSD WRITE functionality does not work (not implemented at all yet) - so High Scores will not get saved.

This version of the compilation also has a little surprise from 6R6 which is not present on the Easyflash release.

List of major improvements over original:

Ghosts'n Goblins Arcade:

- Two completely new levels added.Level 6 has an additional final room.
- Existing 4 levels are expanded to be twice the size of the original.
- All levels have completely new graphics and level designs applied.
