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. :? First you've got a few turns to Get out of your pod before you have a few turns to avoid an asteroid hitting your ship I think I must have died about 10 times so far... :lol: Here's where I'm stuck at...

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

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...
