Decor Wreckers by Scorpio Software

Post by PeteProdge »

Sometimes you don't need to do a download to discover something is a terrible game. Decor Wreckers certainly is, and it's been covered this week by ChinnyVision...

It’s that bad, but 20KB? What is it, compiled BASIC? And why does the computer reset if you press the BREAK key?

I'm afraid I quite like this!

It's probably compiled BASIC as it plays far to fast, given a few tweaks it could be at least okay.

I wouldn't feel swindled if I paid 3 spond for it these days, £1.99 was harder to come by BITD so I probably would have suffered buyer's regret in 1984.

Is there a downloader's regret for us that download it, play it and delete it?
It looks like a good idea, but its that just finished the wall and a spider walks down it that makes me want to overwrite the cassette with another version of Lerm (or something)

Got a video out of it and came out of the shop with something. But it ain't great. There's a self published title I got at the same time I need to investigate as well.
