2 versions of this program were released:
- an early Oric-1 only version [harriero.zip]
- a later Oric-1/Atmos version [harrier.zip]
There are no differences in the game between these 2 versions, but the inlay was different. Oric-1 inlay had the Oric's white and blue colors and a separated manual, while the Oric-1/Atmos version had both white/blue and black/red colors, and the manual was printed on the inlay.
There was nothing on inlay_b, for both versions.
I also found a picture on the Internet with a MARTECH logo...
The Oric-1 version had a tape with 2 fast recordings on side A, and a slow recording on side B, and was labelled "Oric". Some tapes were black and some other were white. It seems there are even several different white tapes.
The Oric-1/Atmos version only had one fast recording on both sides, and was labelled "Atmos / Oric 1". No idea if there were several tapes colors.
[harrier_tape_a1a.jpg][harrier_tape_a1b.jpg] = Oric-1/Atmos tape, side a/b
[harrier_tape_o1a.jpg][harrier_tape_o1b.jpg] = Oric-1 black tape, side a/b
[harrier_tape_o2a.jpg][harrier_tape_o2b.jpg] = Oric-1 white tape, side a/b
[harrier_tape_o3.jpg] (from the Internet) = Oric-1 another white tape, side a.
Can be used with a PASE joystick with the program Joystick Adapter 1 (requires 2 joysticks !)

Along with Xenon-1, The Ultra, Zorgons etc, this MUST be in every Oric owners TOP FIVE games of all time. Agree with Lothlin that the graphics are smoother in Scuba Dive, nevertheless, this game has a great, realistic narrative - bomb those invading Argies! Hate to admit it but the CBM64 version was pure class - you could swivel the Harrier around in mid-air, like the real thing, then instantly zip off in the opposite direction. Still, all credit to the programmer and Durrell - great job, fellas. Marvellous memories. |
