Gamblers

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot from floppy. Tested in sQLux with JS ROM and 640 KiB RAM. The floppy loader, Backgammon selection, one-player setup and level 1 worked. A white piece moved from point 6 to point 4 and used the first die. Tested with JS ROM and 640 KiB. A full game, Draughts and Nine Men’s Morris were not tested. The collection counts as one title. Basic functional check, not a complete test or a test on physical QL hardware. Audio and saving are not certified. The timestamp is that of the IMG in the Working package, not the acquisition date of original media.
