I'm guessing this one might be Max Headroom?

Re: Booty Currah uSpeech minigame
No worries. From playing it, it seems that: - It scrolls from left to right, and you have to collect the little yellow fish - If you run out of air, or hit something, you don't die, but your fish score resets to zero - You can replenish your air at any time by going up to the surface I don't know wh...

Re: Booty Currah uSpeech minigame
It works in Spectaculator after enabling Currah in the options. Everything loads normally. On the menu, you either press '0' to start the game, or just wait with the tune playing for a bit, for the game to start automatically. I then got this static start screen (as shown, without any of the moving ...

Before I opened this thread I thought someone might have released some customised Alphacom toilet roll.

Re: BEEPOLA: Exiting after every note
I've previously tweaked the Music Box code that Beepola creates, but only to run a quick Kempston joystick check between each note, to see if the player is using Kempston and pressed the fire button (to stop the tune). It may have changed, but I think the exported code contains this bit: NEXTNOTE: C...

Re: Laser squad a.i.
I did wonder how Laser Squad AI worked. It's tricky to figure out as a player as it's hidden. However, you can see which direction the units are moving if you watch the compass during the computer's turn. I may have imagined it, but from this it does look as if certain units have standard 'patrols' ...

Re: The best Speccy game by Alligata: vote
Voted for Jack Charlton's Match Fishing.
It's a classic. And the best thing is that you successfully reach your fishing location without falling over and spannering your hooks everywhere.
Haven't played enough of the other games to give a 2nd and 3rd place.

There was a quite cool two plane one screen dogfight type game that I've played in recent years, can't remember its name though.

Re: Games with multiple parts AND multiple genres
Blood Brothers has a 2D shooty platform stage, and a 3D spaceship racing stage.
The 3D one is pictured as the in-game screen in the archive, but I'm sure when I played it most of the game was in the colourful platform stage.

Re: Licenses vs originals during the ZX Spectrum's commercial era
Nice chart... Someone's been having a 'slow work day'
Wow, just three original (as in 'non-license') games in the last 4 years of existence??
I knew they were TV/media-heavy years for some companies, but didn't realise it'd be that low.
