Spectrum Computing

I was trying to learn how to connect to zxinfo.dk to display an image from the game, and ended up doing this: // Check if in-game screen URL starts /zxdb/sinclair/ or /pub/sinclair/ and set imageUrl prefix accordingly if (imageUrl[1] == 'z') { imageDisplay.setAttribute('src', "https://zxinfo.dk...

OK, here you go, think this may do it:

O/P and SPACE
Q/W and SPACE

Woop...!

Don't have one to hand so anyone can jump in.

Jasper?

I immediately thought of Perils of Bear George, but I don't think it is.

For anyone who's at work and wants to help without their boss thinking they're playing JJ :

Just had a quick go, got to the Ore Refinery.

Definitely out of practice.

Wow - I never thought I'd find myself so amazed at seeing a picture of a tin of Spam.

Also I think the cyan rain picture is now my new favourite pic in this thread.

Aargh, it looks shockingly familiar, but my brain can't place it

not-a-true-story-yet-oddly-specific :lol: :lol: And artists are often capricious people ;) They may draw some stuff that won't fit you from a coding point of view, as the others said. If you tell them to redraw it, they will get offended and leave. That's it, I'm done with this, I quit, you can fin...

I used a 48k and 128k toastrack extensively back in the day and appreciate both, but nowadays I do quite like seeing games that play on the 48k, so voted for that, just because it's a personal preference. In-game AY music is often great to listen to for a bit, but I sometimes get a bit fed up of it ...

Ranarama?

Battlecars?

Halls of the Things was especially bad in that regard with about a bazillion keys (great game though). Talking about unnecessary inclusions, the sword in Hall of the Things was probably the most useless weapon - did anyone ever use it? If you got close enough to a Thing to try to use your sword, yo...

Bit of self-reflection with Know Your Own Personality, by Mirrorsoft.

Had to answer a LOT of questions for this. I suspected as much when the loader has a whole bunch of "Character array: " blocks.



(I'm quite responsible apparently)

Random first guess.

Agent X?

Correct..!

[Edit] - Just noticed how the score and missiles are rendered vertically, never noticed that before... But it looks odder the more I stare at it..!

Wow, that must be one of the more obscure titles I've seen mentioned round these parts. Any idea roughly how many copies might have been made/sold? No idea about the game I'm afraid but good luck with the search - this possibly beats the search for that decades-long obscure Finnish Golf game (that w...

Nope.

Try this one:

Grumpy Gumphrey?

Got that similar blue/black paper colour scheme.

Atic Atac - the objects in the game (other than keys) have a use, but it's just not worth bothering picking them up as you only have three item slots and keys are infinitely more useful. Knight Lore (and a whole load of other games!) - the time limit. There's no need for it. After a while it become...

Tee hee.

Wonder if that was deliberately named based on the rooster's activity in the game.

Thanks for your kind comments everyone, I'm glad you like the idea.

Looking forward to playing the game when it's out..!
