Post subject: | Contact Fights Training Software |
I'm returning to Go after a long absence, and I very badly need some good Contact Fights training software. What I really want is a copy of the Bruce Wilcox Contact Fights software, which I had decades ago and loved. But it appears to be a new element...Unobtainium! I'll keep looking, but in the meantime, can any of you recommend a good downloadable Contact Fights trainer? I'm only about 10 kyu (per igowin), so I don't need a high level of sophistication...unless I can get that cheap! Absent Wilcox, I would much prefer a package that has modern graphics and intuitive menus. Can any of you give me a recommendation for a good program? And ideally a pointer to a "Download Here!" button. I expect to pay for this SW, but if there's a free version, even that would probably help me with my current re-birth into Go. Thanks for any help that you can provide! ![]() TCS |

I didn't read this post as asking for pirated software, but just so you and anyone else reading the thread knows, we have a firm policy against sharing such software or links to it on this forum. If Wilcox ever released the code, or a shareware version, or is still selling it, that would be worth posting. |

I COMPLETELY agree with that policy! I am author with two published novels, so I TOTALLY get it! I've been a computer nerd for over 40 years, and I make many back-ups and duplicate back-ups and I store them in different places. So, I went on a snipe hunt, and finally found what I was looking for on my oldest active back-up disk, which I was about to retire and archive. I have the full original Bruce Wilcox Contact and Sector Fights Dojo! Zip files and everything, plus the actual apps that I extracted so long ago. Runs great on my current Windows 10 machine. Over the decades I paid for that SW at least twice, maybe three times, and it was worth it each time. So, there's no question of my legal right to use the copies that I have (I let out a cheer when I actually found it). And, it would NEVER occur to me to do anything to infringe on the Wilcox copyright. I just wish there was a way to make this available, within those constraints, because it's so good. I also have very fond memories of it. I'm not the least bit interested in making money with it. I looked an eBay for it before I found it. Zip. And that surprised me. I thought there would at least be a market for legitimately purchase CDs, but apparently not. I also saw a new listing on eBay for an in-the-box original Wilcox GoMaster from Toyogo, which I also bought at least once in the distant past. They wanted $100 for it, and if I wasn't impoverished, I'd have snapped it up! So, at least you all now know about that. I am one happy critter! ![]() TCS |
