Re: Suggestion: Add PZX files to the database
I’d be interested in knowing more about the PZX format and what advantages it has over TZX. If I’m not mistaken, I think PZX format is supported by @bob_fossil ’s LFN browser. Is that an accurate statement?

Re: Hell Tank
The link is working now. This is an excellent thumb-numbing shooter with great music. I'm impressed! It's well worth downloading for a couple bucks. Nice job, Fransouls and team!

Great work so far! It looks awesome! I like the look of the drag and drop interface that you created. Also nice is that you have an integrated emulator for testing.

Re: Game of the day...
First time I'm hearing about Maglaxians too. What a name! I gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised! Very playable and I like the simplicity of the levels even though they still present a challenge. Thanks for the suggestion, R-Tape . A game that I've been going back to a lot lately is Wild West H...

Re: SHEEPISH-so much violence in the world of herding!
Agree. These are minor bugs which don’t affect the awesome gameplay in any way. I completed the game with only a couple of small graphical errors popping up.

Re: SHEEPISH-so much violence in the world of herding!
Oops, I ran into another bug. This one causes you to have to reset the computer or skip to the next level. It can be reproduced on the Next as well as on an emulator. It happens on level 1. Here's how to reproduce the bug: 1. On level 1, pick up any sheep 2. Get yourself in front of the ACME truck, ...

Re: SHEEPISH-so much violence in the world of herding!
I tried playing again on my Next and after many tries, was able to encounter the bug that shows in TJ's video (attributes on the edges of the play area go funky). I could only see it happen on level 2 and it only happened once out of many tries. FYI, I'm playing on the latest version - downloaded ye...

Re: Dr. Acula
Great game! Thanks for sharing. I never knew Frank N Stein BITD and tried it once recently. This game is giving me a need to revisit it.
Made it to level 2 in hard mode, accidentally.

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Keith Burkhill): vote
Based on what I've played:
1. Commando
2. Marauder
3. Ghosts 'n' Goblins
Some of the other choices makes me think I should play more of these entries.
