Spectrum Computing

Blast, I've just changed it and it's removed the first 3 votes.

Sorry please vote again. I'll post the full list of game characters too.

Okay here are the suggestions, let's give it an appropriate amount of time and see if it's decisive. Machine types: ZX80 ZX81 Spectrum 16k Spectrum 48k Spectrum+ 48k Spectrum+ 128k Spectrum+2 Spectrum+2A Spectrum+2B Spectrum+3 Spectrum+3B Elite ranks: Harmless Mostly Harmless Novice Competent Expert...

It's doing better every year, very encouraging.

That's a prize and a half.

What's the crack with your sponsor? From what I can tell it's a scrap yard that has a side interest in flash games (and ZX Game development).

7 - Mega Bucks

10 - Los Amores de Brunilda

Is all the team admins or moderators? As only Peter's name shows up on the forum "team" page here :? Mark Both admin & mod. Though 'admin' might technically mean something different to what I meant. Admin in the sense of deleting robospam, moving posts etc, moderator for dealing with ...

Good pixel art, the red on yellow is a... courageous choice though.

Heh, can I be Mr T? I've started to go bald and am scared of flying.

Sorry if this is going over old ground but I'm a little puzzled by the status of this game. It's missing in action but we have two different screenshots, I recall someone once suggestion it was an ebay hoax. The game has reviews (including comments on the speed of the game as mentioned above). Both ...

Peterrr!

Can we change it back?

(kidding)

As the title suggests we've had a crack and formed a forum admin team. We are: PeterJ - Mr SpectrumComputing, ZX fan and gardener, learning assembly Rorthron - Graphics and crossword wizard IvanZX - host of the ZXDEV comp, all round ZX fanatic R-Tape -ZX developer, new ZX game fanatic A huge thanks ...

Chortle!

95% is too much though, a sizeable chunk of it could be an adventure game where you basically have to find spare parts for a banger race.

But it works for me.

Ignore him Peter! Looks fine! Thanks for changing.

(Hi Rui :-p)

@R-Tape: Yeah, pretty sure this is an option you can enable in phpBB. Afaik you can even still assign ranks to users who don't customize the rank field. It's very possible I'm being hopeless here, but I can't see how to allow the users to customise their own rank, it looks like the admin has to do ...

1 isn't Druid is it?

(Nope, just looked at the walkthrough, thought it might have been in the chests)

Peter, we've got to keep the punters happy. I'll take care of the blackjack, could you dig out the stilettos and take care of Guesser's other needs?

Guesser, we're very disappointed in you.

I wondered why it changed! I have to say I preferred it as hitm4n says.

Sorry to keep adding to the chores Peter. This is one I could change if that was what you wanted & general consensus.

Long shot - 1 Fairlight II?

Cackles maniacally....

Yes, it's a recent one (and a very good one).

Aha that's a game changer, 3 is Catacombs of Balachor. I knew I'd seen it.

Any more suggestions? So far machine types, Elite ranks and user customisable.

Juan, was your game characters idea a final one to include or something to improve on?

I'll start a poll tomorrow.

I'm quite getting into this, some of the early tasks are a bit obvious but it's improving. If only he did also graphics is the game... ;) The exsiting graphics are unfortunately a bit simplistic at moments. Aye maybe, the sprites are good enough, apart from that recycled Churrera snake that I've see...

No that's not right. (Now you mention it, I should have put that one in the list, but I'm afraid I didn't.)

One of the first things I searched for, also Jason's Gem.

It's great, has a touch of Brunilda about it (or even Zelda!). It's annoyingly good that it's his first release, most of us can only manage CGC level first time! I didn't test it much myself yet but it's supposed to have over 200 location so it would keep you busy for some time for sure :) The autho...

Aye I wouldn't mind seeing a screenshot and a bit of info. Don't make me join facebook yet, I'm not ready!
