Re: Klass of '99 & Lethargy: The Apathetic Dream
I was going to be doing converting some of the PC original graphics for the Speccy version but I honestly can’t remember how they never got done. I wasn’t familiar at all of the PC version at the time. In a strange twist of fate, I now make games with the original PC author. At one point we even dis...

Re: Phone alarm and other sounds
Surely you’d want the sweet sweet sound when you hang-glide from the 128K version of Glider Rider to gently wake you up.

Re: Chain Reaction - Durrell or Elite as publisher?
I suppose an equivalent could be Virgin Mastertronic. You've got the likes of Dan Dare 3 and Golden Axe released under the Virgin Games label and, say, Psycho Hopper released under the Mastertronic Plus label. While technically the same, at no point would I expect to see Psycho Hopper listed next to...

Re: The best Speccy game by Durell: vote
Just as an aside, I’m intrigued by this also known as “Critical Mass 2” for Chain Reaction, which is something I’ve never heard of until this morning. Had this ever been confirmed? I can’t see any mention of Critical Mass in any Chain Reaction adverts or documents, there seems to be no link in the p...

Nah, let the poll carry on…nobody is going to vote for it anyway
@PeteProdge
I’d just like to add that the time and effort you’re putting into these is outstanding. Thanks and keep up it up!

I was looking at my actual copy of Chain Reaction as I replied! I forgot I could’ve just looked at the inlay section in SC!

Re: The best Speccy game by Durell: vote
Chain Reaction must’ve been released after Durrell sold it’s stuff to Elite but it was released under the Durrell name, so I suppose that probably should’ve been in the poll out of those 3, I suppose.

Re: Game Collecting - How high would you go?
I stopped collecting years ago, it was becoming to expensive and I was running out of space to store them all. Back then, the most I had ever spent on a game was £25 for Ocean’s Battle Command, though I also got US Gold’s Heavy Metal. At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, April 2020, in actual fac...

Oh aye! I mind that article now! Definitely part of the Design Design team indeed, I’m just not sure I’d include them in a Jon Ritman list of games though, sorry Pete, as his name isn’t really associated with those games. If you look at Sokurah Sqij from 2018, you’ll see that I’m listed as one of th...

I think Jon Ritman did the loading screens for sure but no idea how much input he had with the actual creation of the games.

Ok, since you'e asking. As a tool-maker, you are not concerned with what a tool-user needs or wants to do. But I am! I asked why you would need these searches? That wasn't to be antagonistic, that's something a good BA should do when getting the requirements. You certainly don't just accept everythi...

Re: Complete Spectrum - partwork
Indeed the GUi isn't great, I agree with you and I'm certainly not arguing for the 2000s Windows interface!, but it does make it possible to ask questions like "which French-language games were produced later than 1986?" -- which I can't ask right now. GUI is just icing on the cake. What ...

Re: Complete Spectrum - partwork
Hah sorry I was replying to @equinox and his search idea. Personally, I think the Spectrum Computing search is just fine!
That was supposed to read “You want to search Spanish language and platformers?” Again that was based on @equinox’s search example that led to his search idea.

Re: Complete Spectrum - partwork
Since I spouted my mouth off: here's a search dialogue from equinox's own application (used in an obscure library somewhere). "Title contains 'spectrum' and ISBN doesn't start with 3" -- a very stupid search -- but very, very powerful. Think this way. https://i.postimg.cc/y38nRfsZ/x.png M...

Re: Hypothetically... The Empire Strikes Back on the Spectrum
Rather than the Exogorth firing fireballs, why not have it firing Mynocks? I’m not sure if they can survive in space, but it makes more sense than fireballs. As for the Bespin City backgrounds, it’s one if the few things from the remastered special editions that I reckon are fine. It’s probably one ...
