Re: unfortunate typo in crash magazine issue#1

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
I think the inspiration came from the cover of an old DOS game called 'The Legacy'

Multi directional scrolling at that and colours as well! Very impressive looking, will have to give it a go later. Thanks mate!Ast A. Moore wrote: ↑Sat Jul 21, 2018 12:38 pm Beautifully smooth scrolling with no back buffer. The scenery is drawn directly to the screen via the stack. Very impressive.

Re: Which games really pushed the Speccy?
. Here's what Jon Ritman had to say about the game. (Taken from an interview here .) "They gave me a copy of the game, I put it on and was just blown away. It was a Disney film you could play. It was just...great." The game was what many still today consider Ultimate's finest hour: Knight ...

Re: Race games - how is it done?
This is sort of how it was done for Gameboy road rash. That initially started life as an experiment messing with x and y scroll registers and the sudden realisation that on the GB you could display any line of VRAM at any physical screen position just by altering them on the hblank. That lead to an...

...If you hold down "SCATZ" (the author's nick) it should give 'You found the cheat' and immunity. I can't seem to get the Z to register, the key read code is at 38815, what am I doing wrong?? Are you using an emulator? Could be 'key jamming', I had some problems with pushing multiple key...

I think 18 is that wizard that kept appearing from behind and killing Paul in one of the Spectrum Show episodes, can't remember the name though.

Re: New loading screens by Andy Green
As an avid fisherman this pleases me immensely. The different kinds of clouds, lush trees, birds in the distance, the reflections in the water, the serenity. Simply beautiful. Seems to dance around the attribute limitations effortlessly as well. My favourite of Andy's so far.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with M: vote
Manic Miner for me, the first game that comes to mind when I think of the Spectrum. It's simple, polished, addictive and plays great.
