A cute take on blitz. Is anyone in touch with Jim Blimey? Can we include the .TAP file as part of its ZXDB entry?
PM sent to him via Twitter.

Splendid fellow! Thanks Juan, and thanks Mr Blimey. It'll be in the next update.

I still haven't finished it. 670 is my PB.

Dear all, we have finished (as "Furillo Productions", Molomazo & IADVD) a new game named "Flappy Clive", special 80th birthday. :)
@R-Tape as usual please feel free to add this game to the database :D

Image

It is based on the 1984's Sinclair QL television ad.

This game has been sent to the MojonConcurso 2020 by the Mojon Twins and Retromaniac (Sp link to the contest):
https://www.retromaniac.es/2020/03/mojo ... ta-la.html

Tap file in English:
https://github.com/Iadvd/Retrocomputing ... ns2020.tap

...and in Spanish:

Cheers! :) :geek:

Makes sense!

I checked again, and it seems Jumpin' Jupiter Prelude contains the first 15 levels of the full game. Thus you are right, it's basically a demo.

Since the Prelude is available as free download (without the "name your price" tag) and it's intended to help promote the full game, perhaps it could be added to the main game page marked as "demo"?
Hey there! :)

Sorry I've not responded sooner - life gets in the way and I'm v. busy trying to finish making a couple of Speccy text adventures! :)

Prelude does indeed function as a demo and has 15 unique levels - so with the 35 from the main game there's 50 unique levels in total. I've no problem with Prelude and the main game being lumped in to one entry!

I know having two separate itchio pages makes things a bit confuzzling, sorry about that!

Hope that helps! Stay safe! :)

It should be noted that this is a PAWed version of an existing game available for ZX Spectrum +3, namely this...
http://www.zenobi.co.uk/2020/06/metrocenter84.html

That version was produced using MetroCenter84, an Inform variant, and I'm guessing the resulting Z-machine file is being played using the ZXZVM interpreter.

The PAWed version is completely different code. In line with previous decisions on this matter, they should pehaps be listed as two separate (but linked) entries. Adding (ZXZVM) to the Inform edition appears to be the established convention.

Ah! I saw there was a CP/M version previously available but didn't see that post with the other versions -- I've just checked the +3 version there and can confirm it runs in ZXZVM.

John has also just released amended "status bar" versions of this, Alien Research Centre 3 and Retarded Creatures & Caverns II:

Great work btw. This is a really atmospheric adventure. The puzzles are all fairly easy, but when it comes to text adventures I prefer that to tricksy ones where it's hard to make progress.

Sorry, things have been a bit manic at Sheepy Towers, so I only just saw these kind words - thank you :)
