Re: Super Sonic Bros. Fast scrolling platform game which tries to not look like a ZX game
Looks cool - 4-pixel scroll is very smooth-looking. 8-) Only thing I found is that it feels like Sonic style momentum (and style) but the level I played seems to require Mario-style precision. It looks good but I found the controls a bit tricky. I had about 10 goes and couldn't get past the tube/wat...

Re: List of Z80 coding articles in Your Sinclair/ Sinclair User / Crash magazines
I got an email the other day saying that Andrew was about to start a Kickstarter to produce a book containing all those articles. Ah yes I recall seeing something on Twitter about a Kickstarter from Mr Hewson, though I don't tend to pay much attention to Kickstarters. Also I've been trying to reduc...

Re: List of Z80 coding articles in Your Sinclair/ Sinclair User / Crash magazines
Ah cool, a while back I was actually wondering the same thing.
For example didn't Andrew Hewson do a regular column for SU for a bit? I was always wondering whether there was a compilation of any of this sort of magazine articles without having to trawl through the contents of each issue.

Re: The pips
At 8 am on 17 September 2008, to the surprise of John Humphrys, the day's main presenter on the Today programme, and Johnnie Walker, who was standing in for Terry Wogan on Radio 2, the pips went "adrift" by six seconds, and broadcast seven pips rather than six. This was traced to a proble...

Re: What's the SHORTEST Speccy game ever?
Perhaps the best metric isn't 3 minutes, or 5 minutes, but "can you complete it in less time than it took to load?" Additionally, Bugaboo has an intro sequence (over a minute) after loading, and at the start of each game you have to wait about 20 seconds for the flea to fall into the cave...

Re: R-type question
Cool, love challenges like this - you'll have to give us some progress updates. 8-) I don't think I ever got very far, one of the issues is that you lose your power ups after dying, which makes it harder. I got pretty frustrated with it. Even with POKEs I think I only got to the big spaceship level ...

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Carlos Granados Martinez): vote
Just as an aside, and in case anyone hadn't seen it, there's a cool mod of Fred in which it runs a bit faster.
It looks and feels better without making the gameplay harder IMO.

I played Papers, Please years ago. It's good fun. Kind of an 'admin simulator' with dark humour. :) As well as remembering all the new rules chucked at you and quickly referring to memos, manuals etc, I recall most of the physical gameplay is about organising documents/files on your tiny workspace, ...
