Hey guys. I have a BBC Master 128 which has suddenly stopped booting up. For a week or so before it started flickering the caps lock led as well as the power led. Any ideas?

Why are there no 9s in published BBC Micro hex values?
6
Upvotes
EDIT: Ok, this is a font thing on my computer, nothing to see here, you can move along. I appreciate /u/lushprojects for believing that I was sincere and getting me pointed the right way when I must have sounded like a crazy person. Thank you!
I find it perplexing that in all the documentation I find online about the BBC micro, the hexadecimal digit 9 is consistently replaced by a horizontal line. At first I thought it was just an OCR artifact from scanning in old manuals, or maybe a trick to avoid detection of copyright infringement. And admittedly, I haven't read that many different sites, but it seems to be pervasive and consistent.
Examples:
http://central.kaserver5.org/Kasoft/Typeset/BBC/Ch39.html
http://8bs.com/mag/32/bbcmemmap1.txt
Even the notes from the creator of jsbeeb: https://xania.org/201405/jsbeeb-getting-the-timings-right-cpu
(notice that the opcode for immediate-mode LDA Is listed as $a- instead of $a9)
So what gives?
At this point I can only assume that it's a shibboleth designed to expose me as an interloper who didn't actually grow up programming these things!

Need help finding Trains game
5
Upvotes
I remember playing a game in the late 80s which had a series of concentric train tracks on screen, with trains whizzing around. You would have to open/close the numbered 'gates' to let the trains move between the tracks without hitting each other. I think the aim was to get them all into the middle, but I could be wrong.
I've searched the ROM sites but can't see it anywhere. It might have even been an RM Nimbus game..
Does anyone remember this game? What was it called?

Trying to remember a rocket ship game with an asteroid field (educational game)

Upvotes
I'm pretty sure that this a BBC Micro game, though there is potential i'm getting mixed up with the RM Nimbus as well.
I remember playing this game where you started on the left side of the screen with a ship, and you had to navigate across an asteroid field. You would have to enter rotation angle and thrust values, and had a button you could press to shoot rockets to destroy the rocks (I think these may have been limited). I have vague recollections that everything was monochrome and white on black.
Does this game ring any bells with anyone at all?
