Looking for old Color Computer game

Hi, I am looking for the code to a game from Rainbow magazine called
Karrak - Conquest of the Castle Cavern or something like that. It was
written by Gregory Clark I think. Anyway, I have it on tape, but it
seems my tape has bit the dust. If anyone has the code or .cas file
for an emulator that would be great.

Thanks for your time

If you view the guestbook linked from this page, you'll see a recent
post by the man himself, with his email address:

http://www.vavasour.ca/jeff/cfdm.html

This looks like an abandoned site that used to sell back issues of The
Rainbow magazine:

http://www.the-e-mall.net/netcat.htm

I'm not sure which issue contained Clark's game. Maybe the Feb. 1984
Adventure issue?

It seems like you can buy a series of "Rainbow on cassette" from this
page:

http://www.vintagefunworld.com/items.asp?ID=14

$4-5 each; I'm not sure if that's related to the magazine.

I have no experience with these sites; I just found them with Google. I
guess the last is worth a try if you're really determined.

Thanks for the replies, I actually found the listing on disk that I had
forgotten about.
