Re: Starglider being used to gunge children on telly in 1987

"Boffin", lol... Vaguely remember watching a bit of Get Fresh.

15 seconds to play Starglider? It'd take me longer than that to figure out the keys.

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Steve Crow): vote

All decent games... And a rare poll where I've actually played them all :dance :dance

1. Starquake
2. Wizard's Lair
3. Factory Breakout

Firelord has beautiful presentation but I really couldn't get very far in it (not for want of trying) compared to the others, so misses out on the top 3.

Re: An AI ZX Spectrum...

Nice. Have had a play with DALL-E and Chat GPT now and then.

I've yet to find it successfully generate an accurate image of a Speccy. :cry: Probably just not using the right words.

Re: New forum game -- Spectrum graphics in the real world?

OK so here's (probably) a bit of a vague one.

This ad keeps popping up on social media. The logo reminds me of a certain thing that is Speccy-related.

Anyone else seeing it?

Re: New Game: Nectar

Nice shooter this :) I like the idea that when you collect the nectar you can use it as bullets though you lose your firepower when you fill the tube thing. Occasionally I managed to clear a wave so that no more aliens appeared, but couldn't figure out if it was random or happened after I destroying...

Just had a quick go, in case anyone wants to compare scores with someone who isn't superhuman :lol: (MM finisher but not a speed runner) I'm sure some of the routes I take are non-optimal, but they work for me.
