I have a box of soggy disks from a friend and am trying to recover as
many as possible of them. Some are soggy and weathered to the point
that physically recovering them is going to require slicing open the
disk and doing some surgery.

Rather than opening up all of these disks, I would like to find as
many of these in disk image form as possible. Unfortunately, several
are proving very difficult to find.

Can anyone direct me to where I might be able to find disk images of
any of the following? It would mean a lot to me and a friend of mine
who accidentally ruined a big box of old software:

Both of these should be on Asimov.

I have Captain Power. I can try and dump it if it's not already is
Asimov, but trust me you're not missing much.

It's on Asimov: ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/

here:
../images/games/action/CaptainPower-S1.dsk
../images/games/action/CaptainPower-S2.dsk

Haven't checked if the disks are 100% error free.

OP: please check Asimov's index (a text file of all disks images):

Michael Mahon said it here recently - sometimes there's a good reason a
game is obscure. :-)

Thank you to everyone who replied!

After digging through the responses, the following is the list of
disks that I still have not been able to find. Anyone able to help
with these tough-to-find titles? I'm especially looking for the two-
disk set for T. Rex and the 8-bit 5.25" version of Reader Rabbit, and
Facemaker. I'm actually surprised that some of these titles are as
difficult to find as they are...

Fraction Fever by Spinnaker Software (Cambridge, MA 1983)
T. Rex [2 disks]
Fundamental Of Physical Science by Orange Cherry Software (Pound
Ridge, NY) [4 sides]
Cause And Effect by marshware (Shawnee Mission, Kansas)
Reader Rabbit by the Learning Company (8-bit)
Monkey Business by Learning Technologies, Inc. (1985)
Math Skills- Elementary Level by Britannica Computer Based Learning
(1983)
Facemaker
Grade A Spanish Beginning Spanish Program and Data by Smartworks
(1989)
Mathbusters by Spinnaker Software (Cambridge, MA 1985)
Grammar Gremlins by Davidson (1986) [2 sides]
Homework Writer by Scholastic (1988) [2 sides]
Reading Comprehension by American Educational Computer, Inc. [4 sides]

What about eBay? Some of the titles you are looking for are there...
