Re: Friday Quiz: SCRambled 6

sitting in front of a screen during the day anyway Yep, that pretty much sums it up :lol: This time I was free 9-9.30 so was able to fire off a couple of guesses, and had another look at lunchtime.

Re: New game: Binary Battle!

Quite an interesting and original game. Very nice use of dungeon crawler grind gameplay (in a good way) in a novel setting. Got as far as level 3, where I could feel the difficulty tangibly spike with the presence of lots of 'strong' viruses. Despite saving a start-of-level snapshot and trying a few...

Crikey, are you sure this isn't a UMIA text adventure from Dinamic? Lots of countdowns to death. :?

Re: Guess the game from the review (Spectrum 2.0)

Well, can you believe it - my first reaction was Android Two . The daft thing is that I didn't recall it using rotate movements in that game, so I looked it up (and snuck a peek at the review just in case). There's a review with almost that exact wording (but not quite). So by a bit of a fluke I dis...

Oh my! I vaguely remember Merlin and just knowing that there was no way it'd be playable with that massive sprite. Haha, I can imagine the discussion with the graphic artist. "Oh - you said the sprite had to be 16 pixels ...?! Errrm..." Bit like Spinal Tap's stonehenge monument but in rev...
