It was emulating a standard 48.

Normal mode still.

Noticed the yankee in iraq logo corrupted at some point. Curious. Do you remember how that happened exactly? (Wish you had an RZX recording of that.) Which machine (emulated or real) were you playing on? Unfortunately not. I did nothing unusual to be honest. Switched difficulty from hard to normal ...

That's more like it, 2160 scored on normal, made it to level 2.

In a similar vein to Alessandro, I made the traditional cornflake cake egg nests this morning

1070 actually!

Easy is too easy to the point of being dull. Hard is still too hard. I think I need a medium level difficultly. :) My top score on hard is 1040. Frustrating things I find: 1. planes appearing immediately from behind in line with your copter on start, no chance to avoid it. That's unfair. Give me som...

60% through, will hopefully complete in a day or two!

I count to be there at around 7.00 am, at opening time, in order to avoid staying in the queue for too long. I thought the same thing last week, but I came across an infinite queue, I found that it's best to go around 13:30, when people are eating, fewer queue. Over here in the UK you'd be lucky to...

6. Feel fine? Stay at home.

My office is closed and everyone working remotely. As head of IT I've had a few perilous days discovering things don't work at all when under load. All good fun though? Maybe.

I went to a 16bit show at the horticultural hall in about 1990, was promised amazing discounts awaited me inside. I went full of hope for an Amiga or St, I returned home deflated and empty handed.

I've managed to locate my 2016 WIP off old dead PC. Now trying to work through it again. Some clarification: in the absence of a loading screen (for example, game was provided as snapshot) would you like a title screen instead?

Hurry up and take my money already damnit!

I missed this and didn't vote. I'd have gone for Lost Tapes. Soz.

ZX Spectrum is my second favourite retro computer. First is Amiga 500.

Who Dares Wins 2: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/pub/sinclair/screens/in-game/w/WhoDaresWinsII.gif Graphics are quite ugly in my opinion but playability is surprisingly good. If you love Commando or Ikari Warriors then you should like this one too. I have temtations to give it a modding treatment,...

Jumping Jack may qualify, right?

Hello!

Hallo!!!

The only Beyond game I ever played was Sorderon's Shadow. No idea what the heck it was about but it sure looked nice. My mate left it on my porch one day out of the blue with a post-it note saying this is bird's crap. I guess he didn't like it.

I thought Dizzy was birthed on the Amstrad so wouldn’t it be more accurate to include the Amstrad version rather than our beloved Speccy one though? This is something of a misnomer. It was written on the Amstrad, but it's clear that the primary target platform is the Speccy. Inside the code for the...

Never played Xeno before. It seems quite good but I am a bit confused about the controls - it is turn based? No. You have to get to the ball before you opponent does. There’s an adjustable shot time limit, too, so if you hesitate, your . . . hmm . . . puck will shoot in the direction of the pointer...

Loads OK here on the MAc/Fuse now in fast loading gubbins mode! Niice!


annnndd also loads up on the ol' DivMMC on the real life Speccy. Niiiiiiiicer!
