The book Computer Programming 1, 2, 3!
Has Original Publisher as IrataHack and, well, I doubt that is the case.
Checking the PDF itself, it's got "Publishers • GROSSET S’ DUNLAP • New York"
I was going to be doing converting some of the PC original graphics for the Speccy version but I honestly can’t remember how they never got done. I wasn’t familiar at all of the PC version at the time. In a strange twist of fate, I now make games with the original PC author. At one point we even dis...
I suppose an equivalent could be Virgin Mastertronic. You've got the likes of Dan Dare 3 and Golden Axe released under the Virgin Games label and, say, Psycho Hopper released under the Mastertronic Plus label. While technically the same, at no point would I expect to see Psycho Hopper listed next to...
Just as an aside, I’m intrigued by this also known as “Critical Mass 2” for Chain Reaction, which is something I’ve never heard of until this morning. Had this ever been confirmed? I can’t see any mention of Critical Mass in any Chain Reaction adverts or documents, there seems to be no link in the p...
Nah, let the poll carry on…nobody is going to vote for it anyway @PeteProdge
I’d just like to add that the time and effort you’re putting into these is outstanding. Thanks and keep up it up!
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.
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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.
