Original Sinclair QL boxed Microdrive cartridge.

Title: Super Croupier

Estimated Rarity (1 - 10): 10

Publisher/Author: Pyramide (France)/A Pietrangeli

Original Media Name: Pyramide

Notes: This game package was known from advertisements but had been missing in action for 36 years, until I found this cartridge in April 2022 (hence the '10' on the estimated rarity scale)! It was a stubborn one to recover and even after a few attempts a single bad sector in a critical file remained. Fortunately though, despite that bad sector, it actually seems to work fine. The cartridge itself looks pretty generic with just a basic single dot-matrix printed sticker, and for that reason I am unable to say with 100% certainty if this is how it would have been originally supplied. The 'copy' file, that I expected to be a SuperBasic file that copies all the files from the original cartridge to another cartridge is 0 bytes in size, which is unusual and I can't explain why it would be like that.

Visible Files on Media: pres_cp (8,004 bytes), presy (12,522 bytes), data (3,443 bytes), extensions_code (636 bytes), boot (123 bytes), spc203yxxcp (65,428 bytes), copy (0 bytes).
