Hi sludge . That was based on my code from way back. Not sure what went wrong with the 'nextlinedown' routine, but that was one of the problems as goblinish points out. Here's a fix. Compare the extra bits I blanked out - you tried to draw and colour sideways when you only need to go down. Also, you...

Thanks for the heads-up Jim. Congrats on your first 100% machine code game. So good I played it twice (as instructed). Despite it actually running on QPC2, I've added Mona Loser to the DB queue as a QL game. Can't think of a better way to do it. UNIS is actually pretty good. Does anyone know who the...

Here's a few for starters:

- speak in words of only one syllable for the hour
- play while having to answer general knowledge questions
- speak in voices suggested in the chat - accents, celeb impressions

Sounds like a bit of daft fun, and I'm always up for that Is this for the early May bank holiday @RoseTintedSpectrum?

I'll get my thinking cap on. Post them in this thread or PM?

Heh you're playing it wrong blucey - think of it as relaxing car journey, with explosions. I definitely get why it's a marmite game though. Some will like the atmosphere and that it's not too difficult, but I can see why some would see it as a slog. Contrary to most - I like the game but not the mus...

I wonder if we'll get any mavericks voting for their earlier stuff. For some people that's always the best. I wonder if Stuart Ross is still a fruit graphic designer? StuRoss 8bit Fruit Design LTD made an honest living right up until a few years ago when AI spoiled the party. The Canary Wharf office...

Hehe thanks Kryten

Pure arcade machine feel - it deserves that font!

Btw I've found a bug - sending you an email Andre.

I'd like to know too. That rising and setting sun works well, but to miss out Eugene?

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....

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.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to your subscribers from today's shock announcement @Wizwords

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

1 - The Big Sleaze 2 - Mindfighter 3 - The Colour of Magic My top spot goes to the Big Sleaze, despite looking at the solution and realising that I'd never make any progress! That didn't change the fact that it made me chuckle and I enjoyed playing it. I love my hardboiled PI stories, and it has all...

Just looking through the archive for "easter", I found Easter Greeting , which wasn't typed in. Now remedied and added to the DB list: https://stonechatproductions.co.uk/zxgames/gameimages/EasterGreeting.gif And here's a temporary link to the TAP if you want to hear the glorious BEEP 0.1,6...

Happy Easter everyone!

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

Fear not Gab - I completed it and didn't notice any bugs!

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.

This breaks Retrogaming Directive 6342.a in which appending a futuristic year at the end of a game title makes it better. 1 - Fruity 2 - Fruity 2010 3 - Fruity 2000 As always, fruit sims are a confusing mess of spinning fruit and flashing lights that I'll probably never bother to learn, but it's cle...

Glad to hear you've returned to this @clebin. I've just rewatched the vids from further up in this thread and I'd forgotten just how good it looked and how close you are. High hopes for this one

Brilliant! It's 1984 again, minus the sprite flicker

That sounds far too smooth and soothing for beeper!

He should have blacked out the PAPER and INK before starting - it spoils the surprise!
