I had overlooked "Jet Pack Bob" from 2017 which is not in the archive yet.

As sual, I guess Douglas Barnall will have published the source in pdf format.

I recall he was about to finish a game like Alter Ego.

EDIT

Jet Pack Bob

You can find the game on the Files section from the Arcade Game Designer Facebook Group
https://m.facebook.com/groups/785775881 ... view=files
I suggest to take a look from time to time.
BTW I didn't know there is another FB group for AGDx

And this game is also unknown here?

There is another interesting stuff like Allan Turvey's demos and even an Invaders game from his?

Also a tutorial from Chris Cowley to put beeper in-game music in AGD games.

Cheers hik.

I'm struggling to understand why everyone is so comfortable with the closed espionage-shop that is facebook. I can't get hold of any of those files. Can you help me out via PM (or email, I think you already have it)?

Davey Dudds/peas is already in ZXDB. AGDx doesn't have a presence in ZXDB yet. Speaking as a fan and user that needs correcting but I'm not sure how best to do it yet—should it have its own ID?

Yep. These links don't work, even if I'm logged into Facebook before. Maybe it's some phone vs PC issue???

Great! Glad Baron Ashler's still going.

Quite good, especially as it's compiled BASIC. He's a graphics wizard, but it would benefit from the 'Ralf treatment'...

Well, probably ;) The background graphics (at least those at start) seems to fit nicely into attributes so it could have been done more colourful.

I would say however that Baron Ashler would need a fellow coder in first place :) He's a great, talented pixel artist with true passion to create Spectrum games but if I remember correctly he doesn't program in assembler so he must use some game creators or high level languages like Basic. This stuff usually has different limitations therefore the final result in terms of gameplay is so-so.

For the database - this game is inspired by the film "Soylent Green", in the intro the "soylent" is mentioned:

Very cool demo. You've made the animations fit the music and mood very well.

Hmmm.
Spoiler
I've solved the picture puzzle, and now have the conical flask, but I can't think what to do next. Am I supposed to guess a number combination for the fax machine or microwave?

(Recoded from a design discovered in an old folder, dating back to about '92. Produced for my own amusement. Not much to the actual game!)

Looks great, but, i can't get the SCL file to load in Fuse. What's the best emulator to load .SCL files?
