Re: Seb's Dungeon Adventure
A thread elsewhere got me thinking about having another go at working on my game.
Would anybody like to collaborate on the graphics?

Re: Why didn't the Spectrum have many Roguelikes?
Thanks Einar. That’s all good sense to me!
The graphics I’ve drawn are fine and work but there are a lot to draw still. I think I enjoy the coding more.
I’ll pop a message in the thread and see if anyone wishes to collaborate.

Re: Why didn't the Spectrum have many Roguelikes?
I started to write one and got reasonably far with it. Unfortunately, life took over and I stopped. If someone were keen to draw some graphics I might finish it off. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6541 It had maps that were procedurally generated and got bigger with each new ...

Alien Blast looks good. If only the sounds were more authentic! I think that’s where Pacman RX’s attention to detail really comes through.

Never really got anywhere else with the others!
Cue Dinamic jokes.
Dinamic games are so hard, the Speccy’s scared to colour clash.

Re: Games you played the most with friends?
Yep, same here too: Gauntlet, Target Renegade and Bubble Bobble. Also games like Colony, in which we took turns to keep the game going. Other games that spring to mind are Pi r squared, Geoff Capes, Manic Miner, Cauldron, Wizball and Action Force II. There were probably loads we played with our mate...

Re: Coincidence!
Michael Sheard, I think his name was.
We all rather enjoyed Auf Wiedersehen Pet. Being from just south of Birmingham, it amused us that Barry eventually ended up in Droitwich.
I also married a Geordie. You can imagine what family get togethers are like!

Ha. I guess not. I think I’ve become my mother by adding an ‘s’ to things. Still, it’s funny winding my son up by misnaming bands (‘The One Directions’ anyone?)!StanVanman wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 11:32 pm Well, it wouldn't be arcade perfect if it was called "Galaxians"

Sterling work! Well done.
I wonder what you’ll turn your attention to next? I’d love to see an arcade perfect version of Galaxians.

1) Lords Of Chaos . The inferior sequel to The Greatest Game On Any System Ever, but that's fine, it's part of the Chaos canon and it's refreshing to have a 'linear' Chaos. I have similar feelings for games from the Rebelstar and Laser Squad universes. 2) Cybernoid II . I've been umming and erring ...

Wow, that’s a good selection. I never bought Rex, and should probably play it at some point. Those demos led me to buying the other two.

Re: Coincidence!
Speaking of games themselves, wasn’t there a game that purposefully repurposed sprites for its own game? I seem to remember it being Starquake like in terms of play. Did it feature Cybernoid sprites or something?
Or were the sprite designs coincidence?
