SOFTWARE

Pravetz 8D couldn't praise with abundance of games and programs of other home computers like Commodore 64 or Atari. Most of the software we have had to do it by ourself. But nowadays at the global world, the number of games at  net is big enough. Doesn't matter if you want to remember the emotions of an old game or want to write some program in Basic or Assembler, you can do it by many programs on your Pravetz 8D or on emulator. Here are some of the programs and games, made in Bulgaria for Pravetz 8D.

Software tools.

ROM - Modified rom for supporting real RESET. I't don't restart the system, so you can safe the program in memory.

DOS 8D - professional Disc operation system for Pravetz 8D. If you download Emul8D you can work with this excellent operating system. It's Apple ][ Dos 3.3 compatible,but is much faster and user friendly. There's two kind of families of  Dos 8D. The 1.x family works at Ram from address of #6600. The 2.x family works at overlay RAM. The second is better, because it works with every long game made for Oric (#400-#4FF) are free at Dos 8D v.2x environment. The first family is made with early version of Pravetz 8D disk controller (not supporting overlay ram). It's still usable because some nice programs like Big Mac, Disk Editor and Text editor don't work with 2.x family of the dos.

BigMac (dsk - you nees Emul8D)- It's legendary assembler known as Merlin at Apple ][ world, but version for Pravetz 8D. The best assembler to Oric world. There's relocated versions of next program - Monitor on the dsk.

Monitor - It don't need to be presented. Pravetz 82 (Apple ][) users are happy to have builded monitor at ROM. At first 8D years there were not a monitor program to work with the memory of Pravetz 8D. There were only Basic and Peek and Poke. So here is the place I can present eng. Borislav Zahariev (26 years old by these days I thing.). He was our Pravetz 8D guru, supporting magazine "Computer for you" at it's Pravetz 8D part. He were answered of many user's questions. He has made a monitor program much better than Apple ][ one. But I must point that there were not not only a monitor program, but an any editor assembler too. So Boby has made  the monitor entering hexacode by hand. You can respect that if you have ever seen such a dump or you have to hunt mistakes in it at the Basic environment. Boby has collect not only the whole Apple ][ monitor at two kilobytes, but has made a miniassembler and memory seek functions. All functions you can see at file Monitor_Manual_en.txt
Speaker - the only speech syntezer for Pravetz 8D and for Oric maybe. The Problem is that you cannot rule the internal speaker without sound chip. So Boby connected pins 1 and 5 of cassette jack to do it. Emul8D supports it, so if you try it you can make your Pravetz or Oric speaking.

GAMES:

Tetris (dsk - you nees Emul8D) - author - Borislav Zahariev. Excellent game at HIRES mode. One of the best games made for Pravetz 8D, comparing with most Tetris-clones at all.
Snake Byte (dsk - you nees Emul8D)- author - Borislav Zahariev. Even in TEXT mode, snake is one of the best Pravetz 8D games.
Snake Byte (tap - better with euphoric)- author Miniu Nedialkov - this is game author can be proud. Works only in HIRES  mode. It's excellent game.
Nashestvie (dsk - you nees Emul8D)- another excellent HIRES game I have found at 2010 year, so many years after Pravetz 8D fail down.

There's a lot of programs yet. I'll upload it soon. I hope :)
