These games are missing the codewheel. If found we can get interactive ones made.
Fool's Errand
Litil Divil
Star Control 1

Uukrul hasn't codewheel. It's "amulets", and they are already in the collection.
Dick Tracy - uploaded.

Falcon - uploaded.
Mind Forever Voyaging - uploaded.
Operation Harrier - in collection, indeed.

Comment from rinkoon in discord:
Little update for list of code wheels:
Ishido: The Way of Stones
Jack Nicklaus' Unlimited Golf & Course Design (Signature Edition doesn't have code wheel)
Nigel Mansell World Championship
Test Drive 2 The Duel (The Collection doesn't have code wheel)
Another type of moving copy protection.

According to some forum posts
Earl Weaver Baseball (1987) and
Earl Weaver Baseball II (1991)
had code wheels too, but they aren't found yet... added to the above list
added Kings of the Beach (1988) to the list, found a code wheel as "single images in every position" (#1725 )
Godfather, The - The Action Game (1991) had a code wheel too, added to the list
found a picture of it but not a full one:
Life and Death codewheel added. Proper one, but bad scan. Need to rework.
a good source for information is (besides moby) this twitter feed: https://twitter.com/Nicozilla_FR/status/1235879283278721025
image of Les Manley code wheel (but no source for covertable ones found):
Also Ishido - The Way of the Stones (1990) had a code wheel:
Lotus - The ultimate challenge (1993) had a code wheel too, added to the list
proof:
Mocagh says, there is no codewheel for Search for the King game, in PC-version.
https://www.mocagh.org/loadpage.php?getgame=searchforking-alt
@SmilingSpectre thx, you're right. it seems only the amiga version had the code wheel - the PC version had decoder glasses and a "parts catalog":
I corrected the above list
@bigjim161 and @SmilingSpectre found another codewheel: Tunnels of Armageddon (#1921 )
(interactive conversion currently in progress)
Winter Challenge.
here are the edited images and the interactive code wheel (also added to the github folder):
I found a very creepy interactive shockwave flash version of the zool codewheel... It works but IMO it's not looking good
@exoscoriae @Python-Exoproject any worth of adding this one?
Screenshot:
Falcon codewheel build from the images, @SmilingSpectre had found (see #1663 )
Interactive Ishido codewheel added! (see #2239)
images:
Dick Tracy - The Crime-Solving Adventure (1991)
Interactive code wheel completed: #1662
Dick Tracy - The Crime-Solving Adventure (1991)_extra_interactive-codewheel.zip
Stratego (1990)
Interactive code wheel added: #2256
The Cycles - International Grand Prix Racing (missing) added
proof:
"Sideshow" added - but Amiga-only game!
proof:
Strike Aces (1989) added (code wheel missing):
The Third Courier | 1989 added (missing code wheel):
not a "wheel" but a "slide"
just for completeness, I found the codewheel images for Gauntlet III (but it's not a DOS game of course):
I found the "code wheel" for "The Third Courier", but it's a slider so I need to figure out how to create an interactive one out of these images...
just for completeness, I found the codewheel images for Disposable Hero (but it's an Amiga game ;-)):
Don't Go Alone I 1989
has a "slide" see exodos extra: "included Copy Protection Device" (not complete)
thx @bigjim161, both added to list
and I converted your submitted code wheel for Lotus to an interactive one, added to the github folder
Don't Go Alone isn't exactly a Code Wheel but a rectangel sliding element (so no interactive one possible atm):
Slipstream 5000 had a code wheel too:
Jack Nicklaus Golf and Course Design - Signature Edition (1992) has it's own code wheel:
user Zorix told me that Secret Codes of C.Y.P.H.E.R., The - Operation Wildlife (1991) had a code wheel too (see mobygames)
Added to the missing list!
If anyone can get me scans of the Spirit Finder for Don't Go Alone, I can put together an interactive slider for it.
