Spectrum Computing

That was great fun (Frumpy Xmas) - thank you for making it! I nearly smashed my laptop up on the final level but I got there in the end

Superb effort to all involved in Woot 2021, really enjoyed leafing through it this afternoon.

Perhaps it’s half of a severed monkey head.

You should start in on Thursday night, about 22.51 UK Time.

ta.

i have got B in. It then asks you to press the B key. You press B. And it gives you an A to control. Presumably to go into the A area.

Weird, challenging, but fun (ish).

Nick Faldo plays the open. My dad bought it for himself but it never worked and was never returned. Still haven’t played it to this day and always curious to see what it was like.

Feud?

Thought it would be quick. How did no-one notice that typo?!

Someone else feel free to step in here and take my go.

Marauder I think?

Nice game awaken memories in me. Have to play it soon.

But, no, it´s not the one I ask for.

Another hint: Listing of BASIC which displays the Sun-graphic:

Jaws the text adventure?

i bought my sam coupe for a tenner. put a disk drive in it and got hold of a load of fred disks. i thought it was an amazing machine. i dont have it anymore unfortunately £10! I bought mine sometime around the year 2000 back when you could pick up stuff for reasonable prices like Amiga A3000s for 8...

I do not like the design of it at all, really sorry. The shape etc. It would of been so so much better had it looked a bit like the CBM A500 case or something , drive(s) on the side etc. And in black please! I always liked the quirky design, but I could understand why other may not have done. I dou...

The SAM is rubbish.

That'll be the last time anyone tries to be clever and uses a text adventure in the Guess the screen$ thread then

Damn it

Yep

Coming shortly, just need to charge my windows machine* up to do it, God forbid I post something that isn't in the right resolution this time

*if I use this Mac who knows what'll happen, weirdest machine on the planet.

Technically, I wrote "the game inside Zub", which is Lightfarce. Spud can have this, but I'll be back!!

Happy to give this up - Steve seems to have a greater claim to this than me

Ha! Very cool

Lightfarce I think

Always the first section of the magazine I used to turn to. Had no idea the reason it had been removed was presumably because he was unwell- just assumed they were cost cutting during the pandemic. Very sad news to hear, he will be missed.

Hmm, official name is Sploids, samoids was more of a developmental name; so the former would be best

Glad you like it, the second graphics set doesn't work so well, but seemed a shame to not include it

Oh? which was the first? I'll check them out
