Hareraiser

I do not find this in Gen-MSX

Title: Hareraiser (Prelude)
Developer: -
Publisher: Haresoft
Year: 1984
City: London

More informations here: [en.wikipedia.org]
I have modified Wiki adding the MSX version.
It seems that a second part named "Finale" exists.

I've bought tape, only have to dump it.
Sincerely, I'm afraid to dump tapes today, I think old tapes will be damaged by common MSX recorders (I use a Philips NMS series).
Someone could suggest me a more professional tape equipment? (more sensible in reading signals, to avoid multiple wrong readings...).

I doubt an MSX tape recorder would damage it. But dumping with the Martos tool for MSX is definitely the most successful method.

Anyway, I'll add it as soon as we have scans/photos/dumps available.

@nrgo: very interesting topic. As suggested, I'd recommend Martos' tape2cas. It's brilliant and it's the one I use too.

Greetings,

Ladies and Gentlemen... I've got it! :-)

I've dumped a rare U.K. game named "The Race".
Dump is perfect, but it has a strange loader... It loads the loader, loader loads main program, and then it try to save the real game... Maybe software is compressed in some form, so it need another cassette.
Someone could help me to make it work???

@vg8020: yes, I use Martos tool, but more than Tape2Cas, I use a special version of it: ITape2Cas.
This is designed to recognise "BiTurbo" Italian format (different from Spectum Turbo loading format), used in "MSX Parade" cassette series.
You can see an example on my web (Hockey.cas).

Screenshots of game.

I added a first entry. I really hope to get more info (like scans) etc. And I hope to get the game some time as well :) It's extremely rare, I think.

Scans

Hmm, I'd prefer to have them in the original resolution, these are quite downscaled, aren't they?
