Minor Site Updates

Look what I found visiting the North Yorkshire Moors Railway engine shed;
Not spotted what's so special about this locomotive? Look a bit closer…
Cool eh?
Anyway, sorry that RAS hasn't been updated for so long, I've been really busy with University work and other things, but I've now updated Repton.NET and added a new 3D version of Repton that is currently under development – check the games section. Superior Interactive hasn't yet released a single game, which is disappointing, but Masabi has been quite active with their Repton games, so check them out for updates. I'll probably do a proper update soon.
Oh and check out http://swpat.ffii.org/. Software patenting in Europe could utterly devestate free software! For example until recently unisys (the holder of the patent on the LZW compression algorithm which is used in GIF files) could sue people for displaying graphics in GIF format without holding a license.
New forums and other stuff
By repton on August 19, 2015
I have added a new set of forums to the RAS website, these are far more advanced than the bravenet forums and allow many more features. Please register with them and login before posting. I have also added a new review feature to the forums, if you have a review for a game that has not already been reviewed, please email it to me.
New Website Look
I have given the website a new look which should be easier to use and more flexible. Instead of using ye olde worlde frames, I have now switched to a table based site (as you can see). If you find anything not working, drop me an email. I have also added a new article section today for articles/reports concerning Repton, the first article added is an interview with Tim Tyler. If you have an article relating to Repton you would like to publish, please email me. Enjoy!
Game Rating Facility
I have added the ability for users of the website to rate each game listed on the downloads page, this should enable a more balanced view of each game, not just based on my opinion. Look out for more additions to the website coming soon.
Two new Repton Games
By repton on April 25, 2015
Today I have added 2 new Repton Games to the ever growing Archive, Rockfall – The Beginning and FX-Repton (K-Repton brought back), both look majorly good so head over to the download area for them!
Also if anyone has an article relating to Repton that they think would be relevant to this site email me and we'll talk it over.
RAS is back On-Line!
By repton on March 15, 2015
The Repton Appreciation Society Returns after being off-line for nearly 3 months, the reasons for this are numerous, needless to say I had a lot of University Work/Exams and my server went off-line and never (to this day) came back. Still this has proved to be a blessing in disguise since I am now on easily.co.uk, which provides an excellent service and means I can use MySQL/PHP for the website. I hope you like the new layout, it isn't quite finished but will be soon. I have also added a much more advanced message board, so check it out. Enjoy!
Masabi release new Repton games
By repton on January 3, 2015
Masabi have released the Pocket PC and Nokia 7650 version of Repton 1! The release date for the PPC version was the 25th of September (sorry I missed that) and the 8th of October for the Nokia version, the screenshots for both look pretty impressive. Full information and the press release can be found on the Masabi site, but here are a few screenshots from the PPC version:
So head over to Masabi, the 7650 version is priced at a mere £7.50 and the PPC version is initially free, but requires unlocking. For all you people without a PPC or a 7650, head over to Masabi anyway, because you can pick up some cool wallpaper images.
Hello, and welcome to the Repton Appreciation Society!
This site contains just about everyone you want to know about The Old arcade game Repton. Included is general information about the game, a selection of pictures (screenshots and boxshots), Numerous downloads of Re-makes etc. (sorry no emulators), and of course a wide variety of other information. We do hope you enjoy your stay!!!
