Re: Cricket?
To me the graphics look far too similar to be chance resemblances. The Graham Gooch game might have been an update of the 1986 Bug-Byte version to fill the licence. (Cf World Cup Carnival.) The "Original by M J McLean" text on the loading screen is interesting. I might have missed somethin...

Re: Count Duckula
The game Count Duckula is also called "Count Duckula in No Sax Please - We're Egyptian" in inlay and adverts. Perhaps I'm missing something, but doesn't this answer your question? It was an alternative title. Incidentally, the alternative title for Count Duckula 2 does seem to be a mistak...

Re: Best game music/sound
I'm still impressed by Fairlight . The tune was already done before on C64 game Wizardry : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8mKUIQjpvA I didn't know WIzardry used the same music, but are you sure Wizardry came first? SC has an August 1985 release for Fairlight. The first reviews of WIzardry seem to...

Re: Bandersnatch hardware
There are other reasons for the presence of the Fuller gear, eg Fuller might just have given Imagine some freebies to persuade them to write games for them, Imagine could have just bought them, etc. There were, though, close (but not always cordial) relationships among the various Liverpool companies.

Bandersnatch hardware
Watching the excellent Nostalgia Nerd video about Imagine Software, I just saw the Bandersnatch expansion board prototype connected to what seems to be a Fuller Box: https://i.postimg.cc/V5nvgbcy/2023-01-03-09h07-07.png Reading this post from druellan made me wonder who designed and made the protot...

It's definitely more Daily Star level than Times/Guardian anyway ;) I'm sure a 15x15 symmetric grid would be possible if we included BASIC keywords/tokens, peripherals, hardware terms, Z80 opcodes etc. It's just really hard with games only. The closest I got was this one, though the grid image is n...
