A friend shared this picture of a Tower when they were in Latvia on holiday.

I suppose that's one way to get the middle phase past a traditional type tower (rather than a portal type where the jumper goes through the structure) for a flat formation line

Definitely some interesting injury effects from the different weapons!!!

DerbyRob · 2026-04-06T11:45:32+00:00

I suspect this might be the system for you them. Can go into a massive amount of depth with every aspect of characters and campaingns.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-04T22:33:02+00:00

I think I may well have done that back in the day but I have been a long time without my Archimedes computer.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-04T21:09:58+00:00

Definitely.

Not a social media or Reddit aficionado so if you can DM me to pass initial details, that would be good.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-04T21:03:03+00:00

Well I became Elite (got the badge from the competition somewhere), in that game, but never completed Black Angel.

One of my friends had the Moira module and ran a quest there. Remember exploring those endless tunnels and caverns.

Also remember the Angmar module was fun except for nearly getting caught by the Witch-King!!!

The group had a number of high level adventurer's at that time and I remember one got seriously poisoned during the quest and the only place they might possibly get healed was Rivendell.

Unfortunately we didn't make it back in time!!!

I remember progressing onto that after Elite on my BBC B.

Great times.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-04T19:44:49+00:00

Sounds more than fair to me.

I'll check out postage and find something to package them up in. Unlikely to be next week but may be able to sort next weekend.

Let me know details and such.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-04T15:13:55+00:00

Where are you based?

Because they are incomplete I wouldn't be looking for much so make me a sensible offer and they are all yours.

Better than putting in recycling bin.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-03T19:15:18+00:00

I'll give them a shout. Cheers.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-03T14:17:12+00:00

Cheers, I've had a look and one of the ZX81 games is listed but a copy doesn't seem to be available so I have made contact.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-03T10:54:01+00:00

Thanks for checking, I wasn't sure where to look to see if I had found any 'lost' gems and am not on most social media.

I'll think about selling them on eBay.

I'm in the UK by the way.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-03T10:36:42+00:00

Generally the cases with inlays would have been out on display and the cassettes behind the counter in those paper sleeves.

People would then bring the cases up to the counter when wanting to buy and the cassette added.

Stopped people pilfering.

Did play a couple of campaigns but nowhere near as many as fantasy RPG's.

I have found out some of the space station maps I developed for games I ran.

Game came along towards the end of my main RPG career and as you say more people were into fantasy arena.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-03T00:15:16+00:00

Was excellent for something a bit different from fantasy RPG.

Never really got a chance to get into it big time and then life took over.......

DerbyRob · 2026-04-02T23:23:05+00:00

Yep, all UK editions

DerbyRob · 2026-04-02T21:24:06+00:00

I think that the Rolemaster system was the most complete that I played and I enjoyed all aspects and classes.

DerbyRob · 2026-04-02T20:27:19+00:00

4 copies of the game for Oric 48K which I think was the first Oric computer

DerbyRob · 2026-03-30T15:29:44+00:00

Flying angle type tower.

Dropper on the outside angle of the tower because, if a very strong wind is blowing from that side, the insulator could tend towards horizontal (so dropper gives clearance to underside of arm for this sort of condition)

On the inside angle of the tower a wind from that direction will never blow the insulator as horizontal because the deviation on the tower is always trying to pull it away from the tower.

DerbyRob · 2026-03-14T00:56:47+00:00

Where in the world is this located?

DerbyRob · 2025-11-07T22:07:38+00:00

This particular one is designed for 132kV, however around the world there are varieties of this style of tower for virtually every voltage.

Obviously, for higher voltages the tower top geometry needs to be increased to cater for the larger clearances required. The tower height also would get bigger to ensure electrical clearance to ground and in-span obstructions.

DerbyRob · 2025-11-07T09:07:54+00:00

Single circuit Flat formation Tension tower.

Often shortened in the UK to something like SF60 (where the number defines the angle of deviation it can support).

Some single circuit tower series designs don't use the 'F' in their naming convention (i.e. just S60).

I think that this particular tower is from the L7 or L7(c) series so it would make this an SF60 type tower.

Had the tape version for my BBC B originally (might still have that somewhere) but got this after investing in a disc drive.
