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

Gonuffos

Save these little beings by making them fall through the holes. Beware of the radioactive creatures, if any are close to them, they'll die. As you free them, the distance te radioactive creatures are dangerous is bigger and bigger.

A sort of upside down Jumping Jack, but much easier.

Diamonds

Get rich by travelling to planet 'Diamon' and get as many diamonds as you can, but beware of the terrible 'Energy Devorators' that can erm, devour your energy level.

This is a very awful, tacky planet, as you can see in the pic, made of horrible UDG pics and flashing stuff.

The key(s) to success are O,P,Q,A,M.

Good luck.

Chinos

A simple spoof game. At first, you're asked if you want instructions. Then, how many turns you want to play.

Each turn starts asking you how many coins you'll have in your hand. Then, say the total number in both hands ('Tu hablas'). The final result is shown as in the pic above: 'Ganas tu' - you win, 'Gano yo' - the computer wins or 'nadie gana' (nobody wins) with the number of coins the computer had ('yo dije') and what you had ('tu dijiste).

A really original game that demonstrates everything can be ported to a Spectrum game :)

Rubik

Image

As you may have guessed, the last game of this double issue is a rubik cube game. If you couldn't complete it back in the day (the real cube) this is your last oportunity by completing it with this Spectrum version ;)

A bit messy to control.

Front side:

Left Spin
E
D
C

Right spin
U
J
M

Lateral side:

Up Spin
R
T
Y

Down spin
V
B
N


And that's all folks. All the games in this double issue have been reviewed. Play them and post your opinions here.

Coming soon, more issues! Stay tuned!

As the 'Seal of Approval' was introduced in a posterior thread (MH Semanal 33-36) I think I should mark the games in this thread that deserved this seal:

S.O.S. by Paco Martín.

Araneus by J. M Carrasco

Cheers!
