Re: Eat the Fly
Love it - simple, oldschool, cute.
Note for DB - still in development - don't add yet. There's something wrong with the 10 level demo (or me) - the first level has 0 moves allowed which overclocks to 255, and the second level has "1 0" moves, which equates to an impossible 1.

Re: Showcasing my graphics
Just in case any of the ZX diaspora live in strange countries where they don't have sheepdog trials on terrestrial TV, it's a riff on One Man and His Dog.

Re: Thinking about trying out CGD before I try out PGD
What do you think? Is it usable enough for a beginner like me? As the author of C.G.D, I can say that it's entirely suitable for beginners and upwards. Everything you need to know should be in the manual and IMO the designer itself is intuitive and fun to use. It was nearly called the Crap Games De...

Re: Robot Messiah loading screen - spot the difference
I also have a theory about who designed the screen. Mike Smith is credited with graphics for the game, but if you compare it to Gunrunner (signed "MS"), or any other games Smith was involved in, it's a completely different style. Mike Smith isn't credited with any role in the DB - could i...

Re: Games you played the most with friends?
Of course! I knew I played some multiplayers, but could only think of turn based games like Chuckie Egg. Yep Ikari was a great 2 player, and a good exercise in teamwork, or maybe not - I have mixed memories of camaraderie, underhand tactics, tank envy and bomb envy.

Re: Honestly, this is more of an idea to myself, but what if IWBTG was on the Speccy?
Sounds fun - especially if you could get some 8 bit Speccy references in there the way IWBTG does with arcade games. 'Fraid I'm not familiar with highrises tool, but MPAGD (runs on PC) and AGD (runs on a speccy) come with a manual and full instructions. They're pretty easy to get into and you can do...

Re: New Mastertronic Slideshow
Both the Speccy and the C64 have their share of turkeys and exceptional screens. The Amstrad ones are mostly okay, with nothing really standing out either - must be the curse of the port. I do like the C64's stylish grey Bruce Lee one (Sorry FD Thorpe!),and the C64 Zub is brilliant - just edging out...

I like the changes to the nebulae but I prefer the faces without the red. I think the red can work well, but not as an afterthought.

I'm adding the Azipack compilation to the DB (which I think by Azi's own admission has not a little in common with Firebird's Don't Buy This!). One of the games has an opening beeper ditty that I recognise. So I can add it as a musical reference, can anyone tell me what it is? Download here . The ga...

Re: MIA Preview Episode 7 (ADMINS IMPORTANT PLEASE READ)
So it sounds like it's an unofficial re-release, that was technically legal in Italy?
If added, is there a precedent for such things @Einar Saukas? Would it just be added as a re-releaser to ID 190 with a note?
