1 - Trantor - I was blown away by that intro sequence. Pretty average game unfortunately though.
2 - Barbarian - They sucked me with this rolling demo, so much so that I bought the game. Another pretty average game.
3 - Driller - Very impressive but it was far too expensive for me BITD.
The latest ZXDB update will be applied this evening at 1800 BST. The update takes around 30 minutes, and the site goes down whilst this happens.

Re: is there an emulator that supports the sid?
There was this thread a few years back:
viewtopic.php?t=2786&hilit=SID+Player
But you need a DIVmmc on real hardware, but now that you can emulate DIVmmc in FUSE Maybe that's an option?

Re: is there an emulator that supports the sid?
The NEXT has a SID Player:

So you could use that in a NEXT Emulator:

Re: Today I rediscovered Tasty Static...
This looks like a similar style of game and is incredibly fast:

Re: What tune is this?
EDIT: Nirvana were of course a bad Mudhoney ripoff with a bit of The Pixies thrown in ;) RIP Steve. I’m with you 100% there. Mudhoney (and many of the Sub-Pop bands) were much (MUCH) better than Nirvana. Yes, Bleach is a cracking album but nowhere near as good as any of Mudhoney’s albums of the sam...

I never realised until quite recently that Enola Gay was the name of one of the pilots mothers! I bet she was reet chuffed.

Re: The best exclusive game from a recognised brand on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
The only ones of these that I actually played BITD were Brat Attack and Road Race. Out of those 2 my choice goes to Road Race because I think it was actually a pretty good racing game. Around the same time in '87 my cousins were 8 and 4 years old and I remember the sheer frustration of trying to get...

Re: New game: Binary Battle!
Took me a while to work out what was going on. Eventually I sussed that it’s a balance between killing viruses, collecting coins, opening folders, encrypted files, ‘loot boxes’ , using items and then keeping an eye on CPU temp because each action increases the temp. Only got to level 2 so far.
