Re: SHEEPISH-so much violence in the world of herding!
When Peter mentioned it further up the thread, I thought it meant the intro music and it was a classical reference

Re: SHEEPISH-so much violence in the world of herding!
Superb! This is one of your best games Gab. Your trademark graphics are as gorgeous as ever, and you've got the playability spot on for me. The enemy behaviour is well judged too. They are pretty crafty when they change direction or decide to hang about. Great soundFX and music from Lee too - they r...

Great games. I just wish they weren't spawnalots - you don't get a moment's peace to appreciate the scenery!

Re: Totally speculative bicolour 8x8 Jetman ideas…
Very cool UDG. It's funny how so simple an arrangement is obviously someone wielding a bloody big gun! ( Pew Pew :mrgreen: ) Is it supposed to be straddling more than one character cell? Because you've got too many colours per section in those pics. If you draw them in ZX-Paintbrush as a .btile, it ...

Re: NIRVANA NIRVANA_spriteT routine… where?
This is one for @Einar Saukas.
I don't know why that section of the code isn't labelled, but knowing Einar I suspect there will be a reason for it. Whenever I've used Nirvana, I used my own routine the poke the addresses in the draw routine from 56468.

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Clive Townsend): vote
Let's not forget Saboteur's maverick approach to playability by actually being completable. Bitd, when I finished it (on easy), I didn't think "well I've been shortchanged there", I felt superhuman!

Re: Island Adventure
It's there as Island. The precursor, Island Adventure, is also there but was a CGC entry so you'd need to specify that in the search.

Re: New Game: Nectar
It's deceptively hard. I've got a mental block with those bloody purple diagonal things - I can't suss when they're going to get a turbo boost. After that I managed 5 or 6 levels in when the sprite types start mixing.

Re: The best Speccy game by Exxos: vote
It turns out it wasn't just me that was fond of Blood then! The Spectrum music sounds almost nothing like the original in the Atari ST or Amiga, which is taken from Ethnicolor byJean Michel Jarre. That's one thing that stuck in my memory, and it enhanced the edgy weirdness. Who'd have thought that e...

Great stuff. It's got a touch of PSSST and Cookie about it :dance A few little things: Bug - the score doesn't reset to zero when you die. If you want to, you can remove the 'Bytes' message while loading with POKE 23739,111 (if your game uses the ROM you can replenish it when the game starts with 23...

Sorry Pete - I missed the 'discussion' bit. @CliveTownsend1982 did the loading screen or other secondary contribution only on many of them. However, I don't think it will affect much - because Saboteur!

Re: Friday Quiz: Alphabet Quiz 4
Ta for the quiz Greencard. Yet again, I thought an answer might be Hudson Hawk, and it wasn't.
I would never have got 'A'. Those serifs have no business being in a pinball game, however advanced.
