Download digitally archived Bally Arcade tape programs that will load with AstroBASIC (the BASIC with the built-in tape-interface).

      All WAV files by WaveMakers have been renamed according to the TOSEC standard naming convention. Many of these games include more than one archived version of a program. I have combined all of the similar named WAV files into one zip file. Both master tape (explained in article) and non-master tape versions are included with each archive (all of the master tape versions have been labeled as such to avoid any confusion with earlier versions). Master-tape versions (labeled as [From Master Tapes]) are considered to be the best version to use when playing the game or running the program. The other versions are still included because there may be slight differences with the program (we've never found a satisfactory way to check this other than running the program, which doesn't always reveal any differences).

     We are fortunate to have been able to contact Mike Peace, the programmer of WaveMaker games. He sent his master tapes, and Paul Thacker was able to archive programs from there. Paul wrote a great article about how this was accomplished. You can read it here:
