Good prices too

That is bonkers. TRS80, Atom, Beeb, Vic-20, C64, CPC464, Oric, Apple-II and Speccy would be challenge enough, but 30+ more machines on top?

They fixed it in the cassette inlay

I've seen worse - one of Scott Adams' has a typo in the title line:

You can buy the albums from amazon and download them as MP3s.

I went to Mel Croucher's website and found that he'd released all his music as a box set in 2017. http://www.melcroucher.net/music-video/albums.html Sadly it looks like the company that released it went bust. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10413383 Using the title...

Wow, this was a really high quality parody! Very entertaining too, thanks.
I really want to see all those games made as CSSCGC entries.

Kweepa

I don't see the download any more.
(I played the last version and wasn't able to find any objects to pick up at all, so this just seems like an extension of that.)

I'd love to say it was hours of skillful research but this is what I saw when I opened up google maps to Burtonport:

There was a pretty clear (to me, as a contributor) implied understanding that Einar was making this upgrade and that my contribution would be used by Einar in his upgrade. I never even heard about the release, or the people releasing it, so there was no agreement/understanding there. I think it's pr...

Kweepa

Of course not. Like I said, it doesn't matter whether it's legal or not.
This is a community and people should respect each other.

Kweepa

It's probably a bad idea to wade in here, but my thought as someone who contributed one ropey image are that this shouldn't have been released without at least Einar's blessing (and it would have been nice to ask the contributors too). It was Einar's concept and he organized getting the images toget...

You never know, that could be Marian!
Since the maps are random, maybe next time castle 9 will be solvable...

But I've had fun getting here.

Glad you liked it!

Kweepa

I agree - it's not the same art style at all, and he generally signed his name HAIRE'8X.
The R in the HAIRE signature doesn't match the R in the airbrushed plane image either.

Every time you rescue a lady in waiting the map gets bigger...

Probably not. I tried to add enough mechanics to make it likely solvable, and I've gotten to level 5-6 many times during testing without being blocked. But it's random, so there's always a chance.

Kweepa

Infinite random levels for you!

This firelord game is so big it's taken over a week to review!
(Anyone heard from Jbizzel??)

Yep, every one looks like a lot of fun! I really want to play Skurff and The Curse of Oddville now!
