Bandito is really nice. Just remember not to touch the cacti

There is probably something wrong with .tap file however. It doesn't load for me in Spectaculator. Could anybody contact the author on WOS about it?
Also it seems to be made with AGD, could anybody confirm it?

Spectaculator does not load files correctly sometimes. I tried the .TAP with SpecEmu without any problems.

Ahem...

Bandito, a shoot/collect-'em-up made with AGDx by Andy Dermott.

Is this a fly going around? Love it, Hahaha

UFO, a promising AGD-authored debut from Packobilly.

[Packobilly]

Wow, Alessandro!
Thanks so much for sharing.
Always ahead!

[R-Tape]

Wow, Alessandro!
Thanks so much for sharing.
Always ahead!

On the mainly green screen with the first charge to collect, it's not possible to collect the key unless you leave the screen (at the top) and return.

Is that bug or am I missing a feature?

[R-Tape]

Completed. Nice to manage that on bread and water (no cheats or snapshots).

It's good, straightforward fun, and very short. At first I thought some of it was unfair, like the ammo/time limit, and the infernal diagonal baddies, but after a few plays I realised that these are part of the fun. You can learn tricks to avoid shooting, or use ammo more effectively by shooting when the baddy is moving away from you, so that the collision time is longer and it needs less bullets. And it's not often you see a decent boss in an AGD game. You can't mess about when the bomb is activated—you've got to move pretty efficiently to get back in time.

The key collection is a bit bugged on some screens, but if you stand on the key for longer, or move about the screen a bit, it seems to collect.

One day, they'll invent a bomb to destroy an alien planet with a longer fuse, or some kind of remote trigger, until that day, the games will be more fun

Thumbs up. Looking forward to your next game.

Hi, David!
I guess that's a bug. I have tried to fix it in different ways, but always the same.
The game is made in AGD 4.8, and Jonathan told that this version contains some bugs, so I deduce that perhaps this is one of them.
Although it is also probably due to my inexperience.

Thank you so much, R-Type!
As your can see, enemies have a counter between 3 and 5 to be destroyed; except de tough boss (he needs 50). I toyed with the possibility of making the bullet an event, but got none...
And so, as I told you before, the key issue got me crazy.
Thank you again for your feedback.
Cheers!!

Oh I didn't realise AGD 4.8 was out.

And so, as I told you before, the key issue got me crazy.

Why not make the your latest development snapshot of the game available. Perhaps someone could help with the key bug.

It's an experimental untested version that Jonathan released about one year ago as legacy before concentrating all of his efforts on the Windows multi-platform edition.

HI.
Updated UFO on https://packobilly.itch.io/ufo
Fixed the key bug.
Jonathan recommended me to do the Custom check in the player event. I have tried several times and there is not any issue.
Thank you so much, R-Type!
Cheers!

Interesante propuesta, Druellan!
Bien gestionado el Basic.
Este AsteroideZX sabe bien cómo compartir su conocimiento.
Enhorabuena!

Este AsteroideZX sabe bien cómo compartir su conocimiento.
Enhorabuena!

Lo que AsteroideZX está haciendo para promover la programación en Basic es impresionante, porque no sólo comparte los conocimientos, sinó que además ha gestado una comunidad entusiasta que incentiva la creación de estos trabajos, que para muchos es el primer juego que hacen en el ordenador de su infancia, algo que me alegra el día inmediatamente.

Sorry the Spanish

Kerl just told me he updated his game Firesnake https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... d=35231and he would like to have the latest version hosted on SC
The new version can be found here: http://www.bytemaniacos.com/ficheros/co ... esnake.zip

[Ersh]

Since it seems to have been overlooked it the latest site update, I'll go a head and plug it here: Mostly Harmless - an Elite save game editor. Could someone be a champ and add it with the next update, thanks!

You need to have the original Alicia.z80 file and then apply the patch file via Delta Patcher to translate it to English.

This is the original game:

But I've got a MAC and have no idea how to apply an .xdelta file to a z80.
