Re: Game of the day...
The Nether Poppleton Treasure Hunt . Since it's been drizzling all day here, I enjoyed a few hours solving puzzles in Nether Poppleton. Both the game and author's names make me picture a quaint village in the 1950s, a bubble which not even my encounter with a local using a mobile phone could burst....

Re: Spectrum memes
Actually now you mention...orange and brown. At least the Dragon's black on green would be possible on the Speccy. Sorry @hitm4n you'll have to start again.

Re: Iconic Character Sprites
Bloody well done. As I said further up this thread, it's impressive how you just cracked on and did this. Looking forward to seeing it on the wall.
This will confuse archaeologists of the future though - it'll be mistaken for a Rosetta stone or tapestry of a great war

Yep I'll go a slice of that Alessandro, but not before I've had my Chuckie Eggs.

You're an early bird today Prodge - has switching to BST messed with your biorhythms too?
This one is a compilation of all the other games in the list.

Re: SHEEPISH-so much violence in the world of herding!
Superb! This is one of your best games Gab. Your trademark graphics are as gorgeous as ever, and you've got the playability spot on for me. The enemy behaviour is well judged too. They are pretty crafty when they change direction or decide to hang about. Great soundFX and music from Lee too - they r...

Re: Totally speculative bicolour 8x8 Jetman ideas…
Very cool UDG. It's funny how so simple an arrangement is obviously someone wielding a bloody big gun! ( Pew Pew :mrgreen: ) Is it supposed to be straddling more than one character cell? Because you've got too many colours per section in those pics. If you draw them in ZX-Paintbrush as a .btile, it ...

Re: NIRVANA NIRVANA_spriteT routine… where?
This is one for @Einar Saukas.
I don't know why that section of the code isn't labelled, but knowing Einar I suspect there will be a reason for it. Whenever I've used Nirvana, I used my own routine the poke the addresses in the draw routine from 56468.

Let's not forget Saboteur's maverick approach to playability by actually being completable. Bitd, when I finished it (on easy), I didn't think "well I've been shortchanged there", I felt superhuman!

Re: Island Adventure
It's there as Island. The precursor, Island Adventure, is also there but was a CGC entry so you'd need to specify that in the search.

Re: New Game: Nectar
It's deceptively hard. I've got a mental block with those bloody purple diagonal things - I can't suss when they're going to get a turbo boost. After that I managed 5 or 6 levels in when the sprite types start mixing.
