You guys have spoiled me the surprise of Zythum's spectacular ending.
Re: Game of the day...
Quite surprised you hadn't seen it yet considering you've been playing it continuously for the last 3 or so years...

I've been savoring it.

Very slowly.

Re: Game of the day...
It's me. I'm basic.
Yesterday, after my ritual Zythum session, played
Activision's Ghostbusters 2
had a few go's and got past the first level - "Bungee Jumping into a River of Slime" - which wasn't bad.
In the second level you have to protect a walking Statue of Liberty by shooting at ghouls and ghosts, which isn't bad either, just too much repetitive.
Had a quick go at Spellbound too. I didn't remember I wrote a nice review for it on Spectrum 2.0.

Love . . . hate . . . That’s just semantics. Besides, you only say that because you barely beat me by a few points.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Congratulations Cruelman. Your followers, the Zythites, are pleased by your efforts; however, your negative comments are heresy, and you shall be ceremonially drowned in a beer barrel.

You don’t know it’s beer. There could be your favorite libation in those barrels. Have you checked?

Re: Game of the day...

Had a hour's blast on Loony Zoo last night. It's certainly one to file under 'charming', but I keep returning to it. The difficulty is up to usual early spectrum standards (difficult, often frustrating), but once you get used to its unusual physics you can get several levels in.

Terra Cognita by Code Masters through emulation, almost every evening.
And had a go at a recently purchased copy of Arkanoid on the grey +2, scored about 83000 points.
And also at Robocop, first time I'm able to load all the levels in one go.
No Zythum.
