Both are smooth as butter but I prefer the multicolour of the two. The moment the colour change happened at the 31 second mark, it instantly looked more authentic, although the former is also a fine looking game.
There's a nice sense of inertia to the barrels, too. Well done.

Re: Golf on the ZX Spectrum
The only golf game I had was (I think) Pro Golf by Atlantis: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/3886/ZX-Spectrum/Pro_Golf Wasn't a great game, but was notable to me because of the way I bought it. Went into either WH Smith or John Menzies and picked a game out of a book in a binder, then the memb...

Re: What was the first game to use QAOPM?
I've posted before that Mr. Wimpy's keys were quite intuitive, being A, S, X, N & M, with A being fire.

Re: The best Speccy game by CRL Group: vote
I went for Rocky Horror as it's the one I played the most. I've no doubt Academy & Tau Ceti are better and more worthy games, but I've never played them - probably a bit too clever for me.

Re: Christmas High Score Challenge Week 3 (Moley Christmas & The Official Father Christmas Game)
I only got 840 in Moley Christmas - can't even get off the first screen after maybe 30 attempts. Played it last year for the first time and was the same then. It's not for me. Tried the Santa game and delivered the presents to America, but it then asked me to do the same for another country and I'd ...

Re: Obviously terrible design calls
Ultimate's default choice of keyboard controls being QWERT, when something like QAOPM would have made more sense.
I know nothing about coding - would they have had available space to include a redefine keys option?

Re: [Video] Mr. Wimpy
Other than the standard QAOPM for keys, I thought Mr. Wimpy had the second best (and something I'd never have came up with myself) ASXNM, with 'A' being the fire button. Why Ultimate used QWERT and didn't have a redefine option, or something more sensible, is beyond me. Anyway, sorry to go off at a ...

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with W: tiebreaker vote
I would've voted for Wizard's Lair in the original poll but was on holiday. Just voted for WOTEF in the tiebreaker and made it level at 21 votes apiece. Had no idea it was so close. Sorry.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with S: discussion
That's the toughest so far - scanning down the list I changed my mind four times. In previous polls, there's been games which I probably 'should' have voted for (being worthier) but never played, but I've played the majority here and it'll be hard to come to a conclusion.

I haven't heard of him being associated with the Design Design games before, but he's clearly listed on the database as having a hand in authoring them. He doesn't even list them on his own website. I know of the Chris Clarke association with Crystal Computing being renamed Design Design, but that's...

Re: [insert game name here] would have been great if only you could....
All Ultimate games would've been better with the option to redefine the keys.
Whomever thought having up, down, left & right on the same row was mental.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with G: discussion
There's games I've played more than any of the ones mentioned so far, like Gobble A Ghost, Gremlins and Grand National, but I don't think they'll trouble the scorers when it comes to the final count.
Haven't played The Great Escape so I'll need to have a look.
