Re: Why didn't the Spectrum have an FPS?

Turbo Esprit was in first person and there was shooting. Not sure about that one, you can see your car on the screen/in the road. Possibly not an official definition but in my mind when someone says FPS I'd expect to: - see a 3D environment through the eyes of the protagonist - not see the protagon...

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).
