Thanks Goblinish!

So as I understand we should save it in database as a new game "Rogue 2", not a different version of "Rogue". But maybe show in comment relationship between these two games.

rogue with 8x8 tiles is beta-version or my attempt to create game.

rogue2 is improved version with fixed bugs and new music and graphics.

May I wrong with naming game?

Nice one, looks great but it could do with some instructions.

Ok I'll give both the same ZXDB ID for a game called "Rogue". Both will be available under the same page - with 8x8 as a dev version and "Rogue2" as the final, proper version. Let me know if you disagree.

We've just had a ZXDB/SC update so these changes will not appear until next time.

That's true mate, I decided to give the news few minutes before the end of 2017! Maybe it could be considered the very first release for 2018, anyway (it's a matter of minutes).

I take this opportunity to report some upcoming releases:

- EXPLORER - compiled Boriel's Basic, first release 2015, upcoming 2018 physical release by Bumfun Gaming;

- EXPLORER 2 - AGD, September 2018 physical release by Monument Microgames;

- RAYS' REPRISAL - AGD, September 2018 physical release by Monument Microgames.

Does demos count as new software?

Wow that's quite a party.

Yes certainly*, generally anything more than a tune or a screen. So the LowEnd Intros, Demos, Procedural graphics, Wild etc will be added.

*you can browse demos on SC by going to the homepage, select "Scene: Demo" for Genre and click 'Search', it brings up all demos currently in ZXDB.

Okay, the snare drum in this one is pretty badass. :shock:

Aye that caught my ear too, but PUSHAF really leapt out at me.

That AER has a touch of the Aphex Twin about him (that's a compliment 😊).

What is Mozaication all about?

http://events.retroscene.org/dh2018/Low ... Intro/1858

Is it ULAplus or some Timex mode? How does one take a representative screenshot?

I'm playing with the timing modes on EmuZWin but still I can't see anything similar to the video. I see the palette rotation, but a lot of flickering.

I think it’s (a) Pentagon-specific timing-wise and (b) uses that nasty 50-at-25-fps mode that works only on some LCD TVs. Never was a big fan of that trick.

Thanks! How did you find it?
The author name - "Paweі Sіawiсski" seems Polish to me but could be Russian as well, yet some letters are probably wrong here, could you check it?

yes, he is a Polish.

I parsed levels.dat to obtain 30 levels, and I write engine - it was very easy toimplement rules of game.
