Re: Games that would really benefit from music

but game (is denied) and unfortunately is not complete. there is no part of the code for final fight (the dragon/robot is not mobile) That's a known problem, and the game was heavily bugfixed here to make it work: https://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/discussion/44653/bug-in-super-wonder-boy-in-mo...

Re: Cosmito en Imperio Cobra

A bit of trivia: This game is inspired by this board game, which was quite a hit in Spain in the 80s (even though the rules were kind of boring, and many people modified those rules when they played):

Re: Little bugs in the database 2

Not exactly a bug, but I've just realized 2 maps for Las Tres Luces de Glaurung are exactly the same, just one is bigger than the other:

check:

Maybe we can just remove the smaller one?

(The same happens in WoS)

Re: The best Speccy game by Bug-Byte: discussion

Could you you add Pi-R Squared to the list?
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=3734

I'd vote for it (although the winner in this poll is quite clear).

PD: Never mind, I see now it's just a re-release of Bug-Byte Premier, so no need to add it.
