Here comes the list of Sam Coupé games those I've been tested in SimCoupé. All games were tested on the MS-DOS versions of SimCoupé 0.70, 0.74, 0.78 and ASCD 0.90 and 0.95/0.96/0.97. If a game worked in an old version of SimCoupé, I haven't tested it in the latest version. I assume it works too. Some games can be spread in more than one version, so if you have other experiences than me, please let me know. Also, you may have other nice games those aren't listed here. It's because I stopped work with Sam Coupé in the early 1994, so the games listed here are mostly the old ones. So, if you have a nice game, please pack it and mail to me.

Some games are full-price, the others are public domain or freeware. If you want to download some free-of-charge games, simply click on a highlighted name. Warning: There are usually some games packed together onto one diskette. So, if you download one of them, you'll automatically get the other ones too. It is possible that I'll add next packages in the future.

All games listed here were tested in SAD image format. Some games were originally copy-protected, but the protection had to be removed in order to run the game in emulator! Please don't ask me for giving you the SAD images, I can't. The authors still stupidly remain their copyrights, so I can't give you anything. I don't understand why somebody wants to sell 1990 games in 2001, but he does, so we must respect it.

Looking to the future:
Simon Owen has already finished the first version of SDF disk image format, which can handle copy-protected games in emulator. SDF Creator is not available at all, but existing SDF images are supported in Win32 version of SimCoupé.

If I will have some spare time, I will try to make PC software to convert protected disks to SDF disk images. If I will have that time...
Generally, I bet for converting stuff for real Sam, since it should work much better. PC software probably won't handle 100% features due to several hardware differencies between PC and Sam diskette drives.

Prince Of Persia (Revelation 1992) - Two-disk version stopped responding (when trying to load first level) due to the bug in disk drive emulation. (fixed by Si Owen in ASCD 0.95)
