Re: The OFFICIAL UK Top 40 (classic Speccy games)

It's strange, but your topic reminds me my own research. I even see similar words in the description.
And your results are relatively close to mine, but the approach was somewhat different.

Re: The Mystery Of The Missing Tetris

Now I get it. First player uses kempston by default. I can fix it easily. First player will be using QAOP+SP, and second - kempston. Great :) But does that mean you're going back to only one rotate key? It's good that it currently has two. Old tiles are no problem, but do you realy like "ET&qu...

Re: Tetris Championship Edition

Of course! I put it in my backlog. Now I introduce new version 0.8 * 2 melodies are replaced (listen to E.T. and Red Dawn AKA Rasputin) * old tiles are back + now you can choose them from menu 6.CHEAT * two level sets switched from 1st menu (must be 200 levels, but 50 are doubles) * lines cleared f...

Re: Tetris Championship Edition

"The only thing missing is a nice succession of the levels, in normal mode, that just like the coin op, a number of lines to be completed is set." Please give me more details. Maybe I can add such mode. Which coin op has it? Is it just the puzzle mode without inital blocks? Actually, the ...

Re: The Mystery Of The Missing Tetris

Tetris CE is absolutely amazing already. We've been playing it like crazy for the last couple of days. The music is mint, the playability is perfect. It's a huge improvement over other spectrum Tetris games I've played, and possibly it will be one of the best games on the system!! Brilliant work. T...

Re: Tetris Championship Edition

This is by far the best ever written Tetris for the speccy. The most important feature is the smooth drop where you can have control over the pieces during their whole motion till the bottom. Yes!! What a difference that feature makes - I don’t enjoy playing Tetris without it TBH. @abelenki Great w...

Re: The Mystery Of The Missing Tetris

If you asking for definitive Speccy Tetris, it simply does not exists. But I'm trying hard to make one. "what the hell the keys are." - what do you propose? QAOP+SPACE? How left-right rotations should be made in this case? I don't actually care what the keys are, because I'll define my Re...

Re: Tetris Championship Edition

Next piece is a must have (glad to see it on the feature list) but a hold and replace piece would be great, although some may view it as cheating but it’s in most modern Tetris games. Next piece feature is already there. But hold piece will be somewhat tricky. Is it done with 6th key? Please includ...

Re: Musical tape loaders

How did you make them by the way? Did you use Patrik Rak's utility I've quoted by Bob below? If not can you explain how you did it? Well, actually no. I did not use any utilities. The main inspiration was this video and lots of other videos with crazy stuff playing Vader's theme like floppy drives....
