General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

A bit late comment but
My cat DESTROYED my life and my dog SAVED mine
seems like a great name for a Spectrum game :lol:

It could be for example some fast action where you play the dog and
have to chase off the cat from making damage all around the house.

I've got to ask (there's always one). Do you mean TWTM?
It was loading stripes..! I'm sure there's a similar blue/yellow version somewhere... Will keep my eyes out..

The coder has to be a specchum no? Spectrum palette only, and using bright and non bright ink 2?

Also inspired by Deus ex machina...

I wonder how far "out of context" we can get. I have just heard from a contact Down Under (Toowoomba native, now exiled to Canberra) that there's this band called... are you ready for this?... Rick Dangerous and the Silkie Bantams. Maybe they've made an appearance here before, maybe they haven't, and the article is from 2015, predating both the creation of this website and The Unpleasantness with that thing beginning with V that we don't mention. Either way, they may appeal to... some of you.

I'm not terribly sure I trust them to run away from a rolling rock, retrieve the Jewel of Ankhel, escape from Schwarzendumpf Castle or blow up an underground missile base, mind...
