PC XT version of Falcon

[RTosh1]

Hi folks,

I am hoping someone can help.

I have and XT PC (Sinclair PC 200), and when I owned it first time round had Falcon. I am looking to get a copy again to play on my PC 200.

I have seen 1 copy on Ebay but the price is silly.

Does anyone else know where I might find a copy?

TIA, Rich

Old games like this are called abandonware.

Funny that this PC/XT version comes on a 3.5" disk.

Actually, this game is still available. It's part of the Falcon Collection. You get Falcon, Falcon A.T., Falcon 3.0 Gold, and Falcon 4! With the exception of Falcon 4, all the games are setup to run on DOSBox. You can just copy the actual Falcon files to your XT.

If you want to own a copy, this is the place to go. It's not very expensive and they often have sales.

Just an update for anyone who hasn't noticed the changes that have taken place. Since the last post on this thread, GOG has also made these games available individually. Take your pick(s):

The original Falcon, suitable for any IBM PC or 100% compatible:

Or Falcon 3 with all the add-ons and updated patches:
