Re: C5 cautionary tale
the "cautionary tales" series. I've been listening to this excellent series on BBC Sounds and this one isn't there, so ta for the heads-up. I'm nitpicking, but I wish they used a recognisable ZX-Spectum beep instead of the generic computer bleep (at least I think that's what it is). To be...

Re: Dieta, a uMIA title from Rebit (Italy)
Recently a title called Dieta was sold, it does not appear to be in the database: https://www.todocoleccion.net/videojuegos-consola-spectrum/sinclair-zx-spectrum-48k-dieta~x464621372 Is there a chance it's a re-release of one of these? https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/24438/ZX-Spectrum/Dieta h...

Re: A request for new tags
Could you please explain how you manage to do that without the knowledge of the game details? I couldn't, but it's not a question that I would ask. I think it's a bit too much detail with too many grey areas to expect of the tags. There is always the 'thin end of the wedge' to consider with the tag...

Re: A request for new tags
Easier and IMO more useful. Personally I'd want to see all bosses more often than subdivisions. Any further detail could be filtered through other parameters like genre.

The runaway success of The Wonka Experience 's marketing campaign brought the official speccy game of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory to mind. I've been playing the B-side platform(side A is minigames) and it's got something. It's proper oldschool and a clunky engine, but quite addictive if only...

Please add 2 tags for bosses. - first one for the final boss, e.g. Draconus - and another for level bosses, e.g. Silkworm; this tag is also Maybe best if we populate the groups first, then Einar can decide?

Re: Interrupt routine for Vortex Tracker
Music data will be at 40000 and the vtplayer at 49152. If you haven't already, check that the music data isn't being expanded over other code. It gets bigger when you start using it - I always put it after the player and leave a gap after that. I can't check the code in detail right now, but can he...

I'm after a version of "Sailing By" if anyone is in the mood for composing. It can be BEEPER, AY, can be as simple or as fancy as you like, as long as it's recognisable.
It's to accompany something to go with Woot 2024
