Something tells me you like this game!

I never really got into it, found it hectic in an unfair way. Why do you like it so much?

I liked it. Was mesmerized by it, in fact. Tough as nails, but definitely has the “one-more-try” factor to it.

No. He keeps posting the same message. Worrying.

Perhaps it's a riddle, he's trying to tell us something.

It's an anagram of 'thrifty rummy bozos'.

But what does it mean?...

I liked Zythum. It's really playable and actually not that hard.
I'm not any kind of a great player but could reach in the 80s without any pokes the 4th last level.
And 15 years later I finally completed it on emulator, with a litlle help of snapshots

You know very well what it means.

Zythum by Mirrorsoft is not difficult. It's playable.

I don't know/don't remember how mr Daley Thompson jumps, but in Zythum you jump diagonally and then you sort of glide down, again diagonally.
You can control the length of your jump by controlling its height. The higher, the longer. Just keep pressed the jump button until you think you're high enough to glide to the spot you intend to land on. You have to mentally visualize the trajectory.

This is Zythum by Mirrorsoft.

I hate sex.

Just had a look and Zythum, by Mirrorsoft is missing English .txt instructions in case anyone has them.

I believe I own Zythum cassette. I'll try to type in the instructions during the coming weekend.

Lazy Jones. I never heard of it back in the day, but It's a cool program wirh some mini-games to play.

Great! Try (if possible) also to scan the inlay. The one available here doesn't include the spine and back side.

It’s yours at last.
But there’s more to be found,
If you are fast.”

I think Zythum, like Fred, deserves an appreciation day in this forum!

Sounds good to me!

Cruelman ([mention]WIWC[/mention]), which day of the year should be official Zythum appreciation day?

Which day of the year? Zaturday.

I always heard a lot about this game but for the C64, played it for a while yesterday after seeing this post. It's very cool, like an 80s WarioWare

Zona 0 by Topo, a 3D Tron game. Cool.

Had a go at Zythum (by Mirrorsoft).

Hehe.

I just checked and Cruelman reviewed it on Spectrum 2.0 back in 2015, it ended on something of a cliffhanger:

But I personally find it rich in playability and addictiveness os it's a

A what? I'm on tenterhooks!

So it's a drug.

Played Exolon by Hewson.
