Great find! It seems to go totally unnoticed.

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?

Have you got Spectaculator? That just opens .scl without having to worry about configurations.

It’s a TR-DOS image. You need to enable the Beta Disk 128 interface in Fuse’s preferences.

Yep, downloaded Spectaculator and got the game up and running.

Just like R-Tape I've finished the pic puzzle, but, no idea what to do now:
Spoiler
What semaphore is being used once you finish the pic?

Aaah, I pressed a key too quickly and didn't see it properly. I assumed it was a celebration graphic, rather than a clue. It must be that.

I've not had chance to try this out yet!

I'm collating stuff ready for the next update. Would you be willing to summarise the backstory for a comment that will appear with the entry (1993/2018 etc)? Or perhaps I could convert your web page article into a .txt?

Grabbing the article to pop in a .txt file would be fine. 2018 is fine for the date of release.
