Re: Game of the day...
I am confuzzled... I agree Maglaxians play very well, but when I play it i have totally different graphics ? I have tried the one from the archive , and a couple of other copies in my trusty Fuse emulator - the main sprite especially is some wobbly legged alien creature for me... and no candlesticks...

Bricks and Mortar shops...
I've got a day off work this week, and decided it might be nice to have a day out wandering around, see if I can find any bricks and mortar retro gaming shops to visit that might have some nice speccy gear... Blimey it looks a bit sparse. Anyone know of a local gaming shop that caters for our partic...

Re: Proper (demo) inlay or something someone knocked up for themselves??
I've uploaded the inlay using the tool - did it a week back. How long does it take to get processed and appear on the site?
Are there regular update times?

1. Scuba Dive - the thrill of going ever deeper looking for treasure never ever gets old
2. Turbo Esprit - way way way ahead of its time, slightly difficult to control but the concept and execution
3. Combat Lynx - wildly ambitious and manages to deliver

1. Marauder - spent many an hour on this, and imho THE best tunes on a 128, both title and main game tunes
2. Commando - perfection of an arcade conversion
3. Gilligans Gold - always enjoy playing it, but find it one of the toughest games i've ever come across

Re: Manic Miner finishers
Not 100% sure because my memory has long been getting faulty, but I seem to remember that there was a competition and prize for first completion back when it first came out.
