Looks good [mention]uglifruit[/mention]. Will give it a play on an emulator tonight. I've always struggled looking at BBC games. To me it always looks like the screen is distorted.

Without an investment of time with the keys you'll just be drifting around aimlessly, but even that is fun it itself. Go and have a go now, I can wait.
Yes! Alter Ego is a phenomenal piece of 8 bit software. There is still something very moving about taking a character from being a newuglifruit wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 12:17 am (Snip)
Alter Ego - C64. (1986) An oddity this one. A series of multiple choice questions, framed as a personality quiz. It's funny, thought provoking, and possibly quite sad.
