Re: Guardian article on the best video games magazines
Really odd that there's minimal call back to the 8 bit era. And in the honourable mention section there is : Sinclair User (some of the best cover designs of the era), Which probably means Crash surely. Unless they really did like Kamikaze Bear YS,CU,C&VG,Zzap, Crash is in 2nd, surely that's en...

Re: The best playable demo of a full price game on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
I've never been keen on the 'World cup tournament' way of finding a winner. I mean, it does usually lead to a worthy winner, but it also has a strong probability that mediocre entries get towards the top. My current idea is to do a preliminary poll where, instead of the usual radio button, users ge...

Re: The best playable demo of a full price game on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
Ironically enough, it has been! My first thought was to throw in every playable demo from a YS/Crash/SU covertape, but that - at 138 entries - goes above the phpBB poll limits, so I've broken it into full price and budget. And yeah, it is still quite huge on the full price side. I could break it do...

Re: ZX Gaming Survey
I like RPGs and get the urge to make a bard's tale type game for the spectrum. ... If I can't be bothered then I assume hardly anyone has played any rpg for the spectrum released after 2005?

Re: Manic Miner finishers
I'm now wondering why I ever thought Eugene's Lair was difficult. My 14-year-old tried Manic Miner a few weeks ago ( with infinite lives on) and made it as far as Eugene, as is traditional. They eventually got the last key but at the wrong time, and was aghast when Eugene blocked the way. Still tri...
