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.

I played Captain Blood for ages on the Amiga bitd, not making much progress but enjoying the journey of finding aliens and talking to them. Taking mouse control into account, the Speccy version plays about as well as the 16bits, and the graphics are mostly good enough. While playing the Speccy versi...
