Had a go this evening (emulator), managed to finish. Got a bit lucky on the Warehouse as I'd forgotten the route. :dance :dance https://i.imgur.com/Y2lvAou.png Continued through to the Warehouse before dying, final score of 64369 (I think). - I still lose lives regularly on the Warehouse and Solar P...

...There's more than one screen of psycho analysis y'know. It doesn't load all those Character Array: blocks for nothing.

1. Finders Keepers
2. Knight Tyme 128
3. Stormbringer 128

I loved Finders Keepers, but found Spellbound a bit too hard. Just kept dying of lethargy, hunger, or something else.

Never played Fourth Protocol, feel like I should read the book first.

Has anyone made a 'definitely not Bonkers' joke yet?

Haha... If I said I was sorry I'd be lying

Seriously, someone else can take my go

Whichever one Lee goes for, I'm calling dibs on the other

That's strange - I was sure that someone had disassembled Cyclone in the past, but I can't find a reference to it anywhere. I must have imagined it.

I thought Battlecars was pretty good. There are Crash Smashes that I'd consider worse than it even. It is, of course, a very niche game being an adaptation of a tabletop board/dice game that ideally needs two players, and not exactly the most intuitive thing to pick up and play. Also, Julian Gollop...

I think it'd be:

I was trying to learn how to connect to zxinfo.dk to display an image from the game, and ended up doing this: // Check if in-game screen URL starts /zxdb/sinclair/ or /pub/sinclair/ and set imageUrl prefix accordingly if (imageUrl[1] == 'z') { imageDisplay.setAttribute('src', "https://zxinfo.dk...

OK, here you go, think this may do it:

O/P and SPACE
Q/W and SPACE

Woop...!

Don't have one to hand so anyone can jump in.

Jasper?

I immediately thought of Perils of Bear George, but I don't think it is.

For anyone who's at work and wants to help without their boss thinking they're playing JJ :

Just had a quick go, got to the Ore Refinery.

Definitely out of practice.

Wow - I never thought I'd find myself so amazed at seeing a picture of a tin of Spam.

Also I think the cyan rain picture is now my new favourite pic in this thread.

Aargh, it looks shockingly familiar, but my brain can't place it

not-a-true-story-yet-oddly-specific :lol: :lol: And artists are often capricious people ;) They may draw some stuff that won't fit you from a coding point of view, as the others said. If you tell them to redraw it, they will get offended and leave. That's it, I'm done with this, I quit, you can fin...

I used a 48k and 128k toastrack extensively back in the day and appreciate both, but nowadays I do quite like seeing games that play on the 48k, so voted for that, just because it's a personal preference. In-game AY music is often great to listen to for a bit, but I sometimes get a bit fed up of it ...

Ranarama?

Battlecars?

Halls of the Things was especially bad in that regard with about a bazillion keys (great game though). Talking about unnecessary inclusions, the sword in Hall of the Things was probably the most useless weapon - did anyone ever use it? If you got close enough to a Thing to try to use your sword, yo...

Bit of self-reflection with Know Your Own Personality, by Mirrorsoft.

Had to answer a LOT of questions for this. I suspected as much when the loader has a whole bunch of "Character array: " blocks.



(I'm quite responsible apparently)

Random first guess.

Agent X?

Correct..!

[Edit] - Just noticed how the score and missiles are rendered vertically, never noticed that before... But it looks odder the more I stare at it..!
