Re: Games you played the most with friends?
Oh yeah, the three of us played Rampage a lot, too! :-) Terrific fun! Rampage was the perfect three-gamers. Played a lot on the Spectrum, on the Amiga and even the arcade. On the Amiga I used to play with two friends of mine. One of them unfortunately died in a car crash a few years later, he was 1...

Re: Why didn't the Spectrum have an FPS?
OK, it's not set in a "corridor" but in my opinion Sky Ranger has some FPS vibes.

Re: Games you played the most with friends?
Alo Bao! One of the best obscure games from Italy!
Every time I played with my friends, we had some races, despite the flickering and the overall simpleness of the game.

What about Micronaut One? It's not very far from Descent.

Re: MIA Preview Episode 7 (ADMINS IMPORTANT PLEASE READ)
IMHO a tag "unofficial release by Nuova Newel" should be enough, like the way the cracked games by Load'n'Run are treated. They are no more than bootlegs anyway, and they add very little (sometimes they miss parts, instead) to the original game.

Re: MIA Preview Episode 7 (ADMINS IMPORTANT PLEASE READ)
As many (or perhaps all) of Nuova Newel's releases, it's a cracked game, but it wasn't illegal. Back then, copying software was not unlawful, as copyrights on software weren't claimable. Some authors tried to print the source code and tried to put the rights on the text, as it was a book, but I thin...

Re: The best playable demo of a MIA game on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
You did! You see, the only traces of Circus Circus are on Sinclair User's Megatape 11, which had Beach Head and Beach Head 2 on side A, while side B had two demos of Circus Circus, followed by Poke City. The first demo was a rolling one - totally unplayable, just a slideshow of static screenshots. ...

Re: HELP WANTED: Magazine type-in page numbers!
I did Fuochi nella notte but then I stopped because I wanted to see how the game is, so I lost the entire afternoon typing it in (OCR gave a lot of errors).

Is it possible that I played a version of Circus Circus but with the cannon-man instead?

Re: Cesare The Somnambule
As a big fan of the film, I can't describe what a relief is to see Cesare free of Caligari's influence (albeit in the good ending) I always felt overwhelmed with pity for the unwilling murderer who is, in one of the most widely acknowledged interpretation, the German -but not only- common people man...
