I'm just going to submit Shadow of the Beast

I want a French wine-drinking game called Chateau of the P*ssed.

(the 2015 compo was particularly varied in style)

Yes. I really love when game manage to find mid point between crap and experiment.

BTW. I have found this video about old TRS-80 games, it is rather interesting.

Just watched it, very interesting indeed. Some great lessons for every games designer!

A new entry from BloodBaz: Crapic Attack! Try to guess which game it's ripping off.

It seems to be faithful to the map and character access rights. Get rid of a few bugs, plonk some UDGs in there, sort out the text wrapping, and it could be marketed as an Atic Atac trainer!

Yes, bar a few missing doorways, it is an exact replica of the map. The fact that it could genuinely have some use is disconcerting - I shall keep a close eye on BloodBaz to make sure he never lets even a trace of quality tarnish his work from now on.

Good stuff.
It removes all the unnecessary padding, enemies, graphics etc and what you're left with is the pure spirit of Atic Atac.
This is a work of art and I'm not talking about your run of the mill Monet's and Van Gogh's. This is Neil Buchannen levels of genius. A big art attack for the ZX Spectrum.

Another entry, and this time it's not a game! [mention]RWAC[/mention] has sent us Advanced Art Simulator, so get out your easels!

[R-Tape]

Great work RWAC! Very versatile utility.

You got me thinking with the Mondrian comment PROSM, but I don't think we could even get a Jackson Pollock out of this piece of software. Actually it'd make a pretty decent pixy style game (mental note).

How in the heck did you do that?! If that's a genuine screenshot, I'll be amazed (although I doubt it).

[R-Tape]

Good god no! As is the case so many times, I'm indebted to Claus and ZX-Paintbrush (which is almost as good as Advanced Art Simulator).

[RWAC]

Thanks for the review, Prosm.

Never the less that screenshot's going on the box when it sells for £20!

Looks like Art Garfunkel is on the warpath!

[R-Tape]

Haha brill.

What about Bob Ross? He'll put his name on owt.

Nice idea. Hope your challenge deadlines are free and easy, as I've intended to do most of these so far, without success! (Mind you, spring varies a lot these days).

Well, put it this way, the later it is, the crapper it is.

What if you don't live in a place where it's spring?

[R-Tape]

You'll have to make it about the lesser crested chuzzwazza hibernating, or some other animal that you antipodeans have given a bloody silly name.

[PROSM]

Erhm, I forgot about that...

I've updated the web-page now, and I've extended the deadline by ten days after [mention]R-Tape[/mention]'s comment.

[RWAC]

What if it's spring where you live but you want to write a game about autumn?

[PROSM]

Do what you want - after all, I'm not gonna look up where you live!

[RWAC]

That's good to know!

A new game from [mention]Juan F. Ramirez[/mention] (to whom I must apologise for taking longer than usual with the review): The Hangman!

Quite a nice game.
