Cheers g0blinish,

What's exactly is this? My browser wouldn't let me download from the original link, so I got it from pouet. The readme mentions WinTVC and there is a .cas file. What machine is this aimed at?

Does this link work for you?

It’s your standard sliding-tile (more like swapping-tiles) picture puzzle. Use the arrow keys + “0” to move the tiles around.

Thanks. Got it. Ast to the rescue again.

I wonder what the bloody hell I downloaded from pouet?!

Something you probably shouldn’t mention in mixed company, I think.

Looks like the part 6 scroller is based on Extruder?

Yep, looks like a direct Rip Off (they just defined more letters).

The advantage of doing something distinctive, is that it is easily recognizable.

It would be nice to be credited, but anyway I haven't checked if they did or not. I have not been contacted in any way or form.

Neat, but hard as nails. Just as a Spectrum game should be. A flicker fest, though.

This is my first attempt at programming an arcade game. I think there is a solution to avoid flicker.

Nice! Love the retro inside retro graphics

Ambush:Reloaded . Hope there are no flicker.

Oh, yeah! That’s much better. I even managed to shoot down one wave. The damn Ba**ards are wicked fast.

Cool game, and not easy! This could be a candidate for multicolour.

We have been announcing these in other threads, and R-Tape already has them queued up for the archive (I think).

This actual names of the games are...

Bulbo and the Blue Dragon
(A mini-adventure that was originally an Adventuron game)

The Hut
(Originally a mini-adventure "escape" game produced in an hour with Adventuron, before being converted to the Speccy)

From Out of the Snow
(A 'The Thing' inspired mini-adventure, written in a morning as a response to a challenge made on Twitter)

Escape to Murky Woods
(A tribute to John's rabbits.)

Solutions for all four of these are on SolutionArchive.com (if you get stuck!)

Dear all, here is my fourth game... Moon's Fandom Festival

R-Tape: as always, please feel free to add it to the ZXDB

If you have Fuse+Spectranet (or a real Spectrum + Spectranet peripheral) you can try the Android TCP/IP Virtual Joystick and play wireless using your Android phone or tablet as a joystick with this version below (instructions to use it are in the first link):

This has been made with a new graphic adventure engine of my own that works under MK1 (La Churrera ver. 1 of The Mojon Twins). Its name is MGA+MK1 (MGA comes from "Mini Graphic Adventure"). Basically is a refurbishment of La Churrera MK1 removing all the unnecesary code for platform games and adapting the rest to play graphic adventures with two tiles-long characters. Over it, I have added a complete conversational layer (MGA engine) to be able to show conversations in real time and a selection menu to talk or give things to the characters of the game.

It is a first attempt, so probably a lot of things will be added, modified and adapted in the future.

Please let me know your thoughts if you play it. If you find bugs please let me know as well and I will fix them!
By the way... if you find poorly written English, please let me know to fix it.

Some screen caps, hope you like it! Cheers!

Oh wow. This looks pretty special. It's got a touch of Everyone's a Wally about it. Cheers!

Dear all, here is my fourth game... Moon's Fandom Festival

Wow, It's different from the usual AGD platformers that you get today. And it comes completely out of the blue, I believe there weren't
any previews.

I'll check it later

Happy to hear that! I tried something different... if somebody plays it this weekend it would be great to have some feedback, cheers!
