Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with #: discussion
3D Seiddab Attack an obvious missing classic there?
I'd also add 3D Painter to the list. It wouldn't win in a million years, but it was one of the games I got with my 16K Speccy so I have a soft spot for it.
180 is the obvious standout for me here - best darts game ever!

Try something like this: 10 randomize: dim a(10) 20 for n = 1 to 10: let a(n) = int(rnd*10)+1: next n 30 for n = 1 to 10: print a(n): next n Explanations: 10: initialise the random number generator and dimension your array of numbers, a, to hold ten numbers. 20: loop ten times, assigning a random nu...

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with T: vote
So torn between Target Renegade and Trashman! Two of my all-time Speccy faves. In the end I went with Trashman, although I expect TR will most likely win out in the end. Honorary mention to Trapdoor, which is also absolutely superb!

Re: Unhallowed - a spooky text adventure for Halloween
At last completed this brilliant adventure, one of the best I have ever tried. Superb in all aspects, and, as an animal lover and owning 9 cats, I particulary enjoyed Shadow :) Just one small note, if you go to save Shadow without the knife, you get stuck on that room... Review soon at the blog, bu...

Re: Unhallowed - a spooky text adventure for Halloween
Hi @Blerkotron, here's an update to the fix. This should work under all circumstances (tested by myself with ESXDOS 0.8.6). 1. Download Velesoft's .Z80 snapshot pack from the above link and copy them to your CF/SD card. 2. Press the NMI button on your interface, then select the UNHALLOWED.TAP file ...

Re: Unhallowed - a spooky text adventure for Halloween
I just posted a quick update (1.01) which fixes a few typos and adds some new messages based on difficulties I saw people having with a few of the puzzles. There is also an updated HTML version which uses some of the more advanced features of Adventuron! More details here: https://blerkotron.itch.io...

Re: Unhallowed - a spooky text adventure for Halloween
I've seen another DivMMC user complaining of the same thing, but I'm not sure why this would be because I'm not familiar with the hardware. It sounds like it's loading in 48K mode for some reason (you can get the same effect in an emulator by selecting a 128K machine but going to 48K before loading)...

It's what I like to call my "Sigourney Weaver moment".

Ripley does exactly this in the final stages of Alien. It makes no sense for her to risk her life to save the cat, but she does it anyway.

I managed to spill some of the monster's blood on the floor, but I cannot pick it up. I tried with the bottle but I cannot make any use of it.

Something from one of the kitchens will help you here. You may have seen it already but had no use for it until now.

Re: Unhallowed - a spooky text adventure for Halloween
Did you check the bath? Perhaps something to help you go fishing would help? I suspected that too. I guess I have to use the hook to get the item out of the bath, but the hook won't come away, and nothing in my possession seems to help. There's something in the bathroom itself that'll help you with...
