Was it not Socrates that said the path to enlightenment was strewn with rubble and dogdoo?

A penultimate bump before Friday, assuming I remember to bump it again.

Ah, I didn't understand joe's original question, I think I do now. - when you do a search it bring up a list, even if it's just one entry, you then click on that link and it takes you to a full page - screenshots, gamedownloads*, instructions, manuals, support material. Every piece of software has i...

It didn't get my vote but Uroboros* is a landmark title as a snake game that doesn't look like a BASIC type in.

*argh! another TAP not in the archive yet. We'll get around to it Ralf!

These were my stand out releases of that year: The Infeasible game The Order of mazes Knightmare 2 ZX Pixel Quest Aquanoids Lirus Complica DX Stormfinch Dead Flesh Boy Baldy ZX Super 48K Box Flype Vade Retro (Retroworks) Pentacorn Quest Rescue Lander The Tales of Grupp Castlevania: Spectral Interlud...

I'd like to add a built in assembler request, I'd pay top dollar for one as user friendly as the SPIN assembler, but that supports the same conditional commands as e.g. Pasmo.

Jonathan will be sorry he surfaced

I'm so far behind on these. This guy's output is superhuman.

Not at our time of life, we'd need to blanket six weeks to recover.

Cheers, great quiz that. I'm kicking myself over #12.

Still not convinced about #2 though...

Please!

That’s presumably because you have to type CODE with a seven finger combination of caps shift and symbol shift in 48k BASIC or something. For shame! 48 BASIC roolz. To the OP, on a PC keyboard press: j for LOAD Ctrl + p twice for "" Caps shift then Ctrl quickly, then i for CODE Then Enter...

Heh you must be cursing us!

I can't find an old photo of him but based on that clue I'll guess 9 is Phil South.

If I keep throwing sh*t at my wall 5minretro might not want it.

Great game, very polished. I do like the Hero mode, a while back I wondered how to combine something like Pixel Quest with Minesweeper, but went down the pixel = mine route. This way works pretty nicely. One thing though, I went up to the hard level and medium grid and bombed first attempt about 10 ...

Fortunately, Alfonso had challenged to improve his game (he had the source code somehow) and, after 30 years from when he started to make it, he has launched the final version few weeks ago, starting with a limited edition in physical format for those who wanted a copy and some day soon he would pu...

Hi, Hello! It's my first post in this new forum. Some may know myself from WOS and other retrogaming forums. ;) What's the story with this game? I see it's down as one of Alfonso's MIAs on WoS, has he rediscovered it or remade it? I'm not on FB (I'll have to change that!) ,hopefully Peter can get i...

12 isn't Chris Clarke is it?

Bizarre! I also had some guy calling himself Pete Prodge appear from a wormhole during my morning porridge today, all he said was "Here's an issue of YS from 3 months in the future, sorry, it's a cricket special". Then he deliquesced away. I picked a couple of mockups... http://stonechatpr...

Rembrandt fans will spot the not so subtle allusion of the Centaur's shaft. That wouldn't pass the Mull of Kintyre test...

Hello there! I'm currently working on porting my Chibi Akumas game from the CPC to the ZX spectrum (and msx), things are going well, but one thing on the speccy has caught me out, so I thought I'd ask some advise on here! Just to point out I'm using a custom interrupt handler using IM2, and do not ...

I'm learning here, if see a bald person they might once have had hair.

You're nearly there in the demos I've seen, keep going!

1 is Chris Curry, no question mark this time, I'll stake my house on it.

#4 Alan Sugar?

Long shot - is #2 Clive with a combover?

I've looked at every big name I can think of and none of them match! Why is there no bald bloke with ginger hair at the sides?
