I had no idea the Tatung Einstein was popular in dev circles back in the day!

Looks good, but hard to take the main character seriously when her breasts are larger than her head.

Re: Guess the screen$
If you click on the image the sub text on postimage is "bomber"...
Slightly unusual version of the game in that the buildings are 16 pixels wide.
Having browsed the bomber and inspiration: Blitz titles in the DB I'm beginning to suspect a trap. Like Morkin.

Re: ZX original RND number generator, sped up
Could you explain how the code is doing mod 65537 without a divide or a looped subtract?

Re: Recognise the type-in?
Towering Inferno looks similar to the game Bounce in the DB. I feel like there are a lot like this, but usually the tower is on the left of the screen (like the Game and Watch Fire game they are based on).

Re: Why was ZX 48K so cheap ? And was it really cheap ?
Is there a good book on BBC basic that covers the use of the inline assembler? The BBC basic on the Z88 has this feature, but the docs are limited. It's a little terse but the Advanced User Guide has some good coverage of the inline assembler. https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17242 (pd...

To be fair some other machines of the era did need a bit of "work" to draw a circle too. I think the Acorn ones might of needed a couple of (relatively simple though) lines for this. DEF PROCCIRCLE(X,Y,R) MOVE X+R,Y:FOR A=0 TO 2*PI+0.1 STEP PI/20:DRAW X+R*COSA, Y+R*SINA:NEXT:ENDPROC MODE ...

I went to Mel Croucher's website and found that he'd released all his music as a box set in 2017. http://www.melcroucher.net/music-video/albums.html Sadly it looks like the company that released it went bust. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10413383 Using the title...

Wow, this was a really high quality parody! Very entertaining too, thanks.
I really want to see all those games made as CSSCGC entries.

Re: C.S.C.G.C 2023 is open for entries
I don't see the download any more.
(I played the last version and wasn't able to find any objects to pick up at all, so this just seems like an extension of that.)
