Re: Dakin 5/Level-10 M.I.R.V. - vaporware or exists?

[Hot Rod <hotrod.apple2@gmail.com>]

I can now confirm the existence and availability of MIRV.  A helpful collector (who wishes to remain anonymous) sent me a disk image of the program.  As far as I can tell, it's the correct game, but is lacking a main title screen (it does say 'MIRV' in the lower left corner during game play though, just nothing to indicate Dakin5/Level-10).

Currently, it's set up as a full disk, because the loader make direct disk access to load the game via RWTS.  The image has Pronto-DOS on it though, so clearly it's not the original DOS at least (may have just had tracks $00-$02 copied over though).  The full disk version stores hi-scores on track $11 sector $01 I think.

Other than the game load and the hi-scores though, it appears to be a single-load type game.  The disk access occurs when it transitions from demo mode to playing mode.

I'm contemplating whether to spend the time to create a file version of it or not, but I'll at least upload the disk version to Asimov in the meantime (then the file version can be done elsewhere!).
