Re: The best Speccy game by Durell: vote
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...

Re: At Dev's Door (Jon Ritman): discussion
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...

Re: At Dev's Door (Jon Ritman): discussion
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 ...

Re: Entry screen layout issue
Without knowing to much what's going on in the background, changing the class of the wrapping div to be col-sm-4 rather than col-sm-3 does fix the issue for Peter Beardsley, at least, but not sure how it'll affect other entries. Edit: Just checked the International Match Day entries and changed the ...

Entry screen layout issue
Looks like the text isn't being contained within the bounding area in the Additional File Downloads section. Obvs an issue due to there being no spaces within the name of the file. Same issue in mobile view, too. See, International Match Day - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/2514/ZX-Spectrum/I...

Re: Clebin's projects for 2023
A Spectrum version of Advance Wars had been on my list of projects to work on at some point for well over a decade now, but I’m glad to see someone has got around to doing it! Looking forward to trying it out as the original Advance Wars is one of my favourites and I hate turn based strategy games! ...
