Re: Whirlwind
Any chance of a link? I can't find it. I wonder if that gives any more clues to the authors. Bloody hell I've fallen for an Eq tangent! You were talking about Rise out of the Dungeons on MSX. I actually woke in the night and thought "Hang on - the odds of a Blaby release on the MSX are rather ...

Re: Whirlwind
Time passes. Not far off 2 years as it goes, and I see the RZX has appeared, so bloody well done Eq on persevering! This game doesn't have any authors attributed. The game mentions them only as 3 letter acronyms "AJS" and "PMC". I'll get these added, but can anyone do any detecti...

Well done on those RZX for Tiny Nightmares @pavero and Whirlwind @equinox. Rollback or no rollback, they are not trivial to complete!

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?

Re: "Cleaner" - graphics problem
The listing itself says to remember to SAVE the UDGs. Here's a temporary link to a fix. The file will appear after the next update.
Not in any real sense.

Re: "Cleaner" - graphics problem
There's a smaller tape file in the zip - that's the UDGs. You need to LOAD""CODE those first.
I'll look at concatenating both files as a bugfix. Do we have undiscovered gem material here...?

Re: MIA Preview Episode 7 (ADMINS IMPORTANT PLEASE READ)
Thanks for your efforts on this Frankie. I agree on both conflicting points - it is a lot of effort to go to for an illegal crack, and it is unusual that Vortex doesn't get a mention. So that doesn't help! Alessandro has a good nose for things like this too, just in case. Any chance you can make the...

Re: Subliminal Extacy #6
Nice interface and a good read. I like the cut of Coarsetone's gib with the Overcomposure article. Honest criticism from a standpoint of wanting better, and praise where it was due. The Dave Fountain article has lead me down a rabbithole of old FP and Knucklegirl's demos :o It won't revolutionise ho...

Re: Little bugs in the database 6
Simon Cooke's label entry links to a Wikipedia article which is actually about a Kiwi olympic sailor of the same name.
I can't find an alternative Simon Cooke at Wikipedia, so the wiki link should be deleted. However, the link to his own site is good, and has a pretty cool speccy themed GUI!

Re: Are the YS writers still "around"?
Duncan McDonald Ta for the tip. Bought the book and just finished it. Most of it is really enjoyable, especially as you can trust that at least half of it is true, but towards the end I found the endless madcap dole adventures a bit depressing and drug addled. Overall though, it's like Kerouac's On...

Re: Jet Set Steamboat Willie
I nearly finished it on bread and water: 84 items and an energy of 009, but I still needed to get back to Minnie. I saved a snapshot and ended up using it. The difficulty is really well judged though - BITD I'd have been happy to go back to the start, knowing I'd probably complete it that time. Ther...

Wait. Isn't that how people do it in MM already? It is how I do it, but you don't have to do it that way. In MM, you can jump over the honker from the same platform. That isn't possible in Winer Milly (at least I haven't managed it), so it's more true to life in that sense. I would only expect to b...

Hehe. If the telephone is the problem, you have to jump from on top of the brick wall. You can't get over it from the same height.
