Time for a clue then. It's an early movie licensed game.

Nay!

Nice! Seems fun enough.

This one might be a bit on the easier side, but we'll see.

Impossamole?

There we go! If someone else feels up to it, I'll pass this time.

Then, what are the maths besides this? Does the 1536 loop take the same than an interrupt? IM2 is triggered during Vblank before the border has begun being drawn, you set the first colour here. Then you wait (pause loop or fixed time routines) for the border to be drawn up to the point you want the...

Lower DE to 1536 and remove the second 'call pause' and you'll split it roughly around halfways.

Bloody well done—how the hell did you get that?! I'm familiar with the game, but close up, the toilet looks rough and ready, quite incongruous with the rest of the game. Modern game, decent size bowl, black ink on white paper and on screen all of the time. :) It does look a bit rough doesn't it. I ...

How difficult is it to convert elite.tzx from here (48K tape side B, with Adder) into a TAP file? Do you have to reverse engineer the turboloader, or are there tools that will recognise it? I can't find any automated method that would do the trick. One wouldn't necessarily need to reverse engineer ...

I did a quick key swap poke: Nkeyswap M 8 65384 4 1 M 8 65385 16 32 M 8 65432 1 4 Z 8 65433 32 16 Y This will swap the B-key with the symbol-shift-key. Since the B-key was only used to re-center while looking at the map it shouldn't matter if it's symbol-shift now instead and a bit out of the way. (...

@ersh have you hacked Elite apart enough to be able to create a poke to replace "Symbol Shift" with "." for improving the flight controls on a Plus/128K keyboard? Or is it horrible because technically it's a combo (Sym+M) rather than a single keypress? I had a quick look. If I u...

Sweet! I'll pass this time, anyone else?

Correct! You're up.

Nope!

Right, time for some clues. It's a later release, a multi-load Amiga/ST port that mixes genres a bit.

Nay.

Nopes.

Not Druid, no.

Sorry, no.
