Re: How I find [CENSORED] game

An idea springs to me, whether this would appease either side, who knows, but i'll add it anyway. Do, don't, i don't care... Only forum registered members can search the database and get the dodgy results back IF they choose "Adult Content - YES" in their profile. Anyone else, gets nothing...

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Costa Panayi): discussion

I think it'll go along the lines of... Best compilation from Ocean Best compilation from US Gold ...and so on. Then pit the top compilation of each company together in a poll. Not a perfect plan. I wouldn't. The polls have already decided top 3 from publishers, authors etc, the tape would just be t...

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Costa Panayi): discussion

Looks spot-on to me. Some 8-bit classics in that list - I always feel Costa gets a little left out in great Speccy coder discussions. Highway Encounter is one of the greatest 8-bit games of all time, never mind just on the Speccy. So you can guess where my vote will be going :lol:. A great list of ...

The trap door is similar, it looks great, technically amazing...but it's just obscure puzzles...wandering about... Absolutely NOT just wandering about.

I won't be voting. I cannot split Trap Door, Skool Daze, Popeye, Everyones a Wally and Rocky Horror Show.
These are all amongst my top Speccy games of all time, it'd be like Sophies Choice.

It was set up in another room at my grans house ready to go, we all opened our presents and i got a bundle of 6 boxes of 15 minute cassettes, 5 tapes per box. Think they were from Boots....

Then i have a manually filtered subset of all the TOSEC stuff sorted into named folders. Any new games that come out over time will go into these folders too. 14/05/2023 15:06 <DI...

Hi. Thanks for making this free. I am a sucker for breakout clones, always enjoyed Batty on the Speccy and MegaBall on the Amiga, then DXBall on PC but i'm a cheapskate so would never buy a game off itchio unless i knew what i was getting into, knew the author or REALLY enjoyed a demo.
