Me personally not. But I've heard that yes, it's actually asked quite often on interviews.Has anyone here ever been asked to do this at a job interview?
This one is 2018, and the same author also has two others that are missing: Mini Explorer and Elon M. with Jetpack. All very good AGD games that many wouldn't guess were AGD. They'll have entries in the next update, hopefully file permission too.

A typical round of Fizz Buzz can be:
Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100 and for multiples of '3' print "Fizz" instead of the number and for the multiples of '5' print "Buzz".

It's target on russian speccy scene and mostly for zx evolution users. I think we have at least 2000 units of for zx evo but there is no official sales stats. Also our speccy scene slightly different and focused on demos, TR DOS, real 5'25 floppys and Pentagon timings. I have Zx Evo too and it's a great machine with proper scandoubler.
Yes, it's mostly for people who own real clones compatible with Pentagon.Who is the target audience?
Cheers. Looks nifty. I'll add this to the 2018 thread (released 6/6/2018).
Just to mention that these were added to the site in last week's ZXDB update. Details are below. Thanks to John for his permission to allow us to host his titles.8BitAG wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 11:30 am Adding...

It is very nicely drawn and detailed as you say but for me it's too much monochrome. The original is more colourfulIt almost looks too detailed ... but it does look good.

and maybe simpler but somehow nicer, at least for me.
I played it briefly but didn't know what I should do.
Are you supposed to open all doors and collect all stuff in one location and then move to another one through door? Or should you
work at many locations at the same time?
And how can you fight with enemies? What fire button does?
