Patch below:

Code: Select all

Please go to line 750 and insert a space. No sneaky looking at the other answers!

I'm half-considering writing a sternly worded letter to my local newspaper about all this.

Many Games in 1 would be even more fun in a Wario Ware style - play for a few seconds, switch game, repeat

This is exactly the idea behind a multi-game thing I want to do this year (and started last year). Grrrrr.

@firelord

Two comments:
1. The printout I send show a fraction of the games -Only 1 in 100 game is displayed
2. There are amazing games! Eg In game 4 you control a fierce warrior and in game 5 you control a powerful wizard!
and
3. The game uses randomize so the games are not random!
4. I was thinking of adding a story generator to each game so it would seem unique but I had not time... Maybe I'll write a sequel with different graphics this or next year!

[Jbizzel]

@firelord I may be confused by your game. I didn't realise there was a game 3 and 4, so I may have missed a something, and I'm not sure how to access them?

lol I meant type A game number 4 and 5

[Jbizzel]

lol I meant type A game number 4 and 5

I still think I might be missing something, I am thinking there are only game A and game B. What is the 4/5 thing?

Do you mean when you start game A, select 5 when asked to input a number, and something special happens?

I'll try.

(edit)Sorry , reading answering fast... the special thing that happens is that the UDG looks like a warrior/mage(/edit)
Select game type A and then game number 4 .

Also, I've sended you a type-in to hack the game and reduce the number of games

[firelord]

More notes on 2*65534 In 1 Games
If you notice carefully the image in the review site, you can see that the graphics are well designed, not random and they cover all tastes (eg you can see that Medusa is naked) !
Here is proof:

Spoiler

6281: A rebel showing the finger trying to avoid politicians
6311: Woman figure of Naked Medusa trying to avoid mirrors
6331: An elf holding a bow!
6351: Witch with long hat (like cauldron 1)
6371: Scorpion running in the woods
6401: Hockey player trying to avoid attackers
6651: Fat University Graduate trying to avoid relatives that want to kiss him!
6971: Man holding a bazooka,trying to avoid pacifistrs
6991: Ghost from the movie Ghost (starring Patrick Swayze) just running arround



also the original sample game list is here (shows evey 10th hero of the game:



You may have a glimpse of SOME of the heroes in each game by using this type-in (it shows every 100th character).Also if you replace PRINT with LPRINT you can print the list and check it on paper- or you can use it as wallpaper in your living room so every visitor can admire it!:

then type

Code: Select all

MERGE "":RUN

and then load the tape of the game
You will immidiatelly have 2*1000 in 1 games!

[Morkin]

6991 looks more like Luke Skywalker holding a lightsabre while sitting on his Tauntaun.

[Jbizzel]

Sort of a rorschach ink test

[Jbizzel]

Review just in.

[R-Tape]

I knew it! 257 is a very serviceable Hedgehog. That makes up for the twenty totally amorphous blobs that went before.

[R-Tape]

Everything above that line, I wrote before running the program.

As long as you INPUT something like "loving" or "philosophy", the output will be quite profound.

[Morkin]

Also if you replace PRINT with LPRINT you can print the list and check it on paper

I followed these instructions and my ZX Printer exploded and set fire to my house.

Just wondering who I should forward my decorator bill on to?

[firelord]

I followed these instructions and my ZX Printer exploded and set fire to my house.

No problem!
Just go to a friend with a zx printer, print again the wallparer and cover the damaged walls!

Spoiler

If you have a second explosion then we have found a weapon! Now you can go to all your friends with Commodore or Amstrad and ask them to print the list !

Thanks for that. I promise I won't send another Etch-A-Anything game.

All I can say @Jbizzel is, that I'm ...

[firelord]

ok. Amateur happy hours are over! Now it's time for the real pros!

As promised, the long awaited sequel of the prequel of the prequel of the prequel of an amazing trilogy was thrown at the mailbox of Jbizzel !

The introduction lasts more than 10 minutes on a real spectrum with real tape player!


You can all start : (Always liked the banana dancing emoji)

[Jbizzel]

@uglifruit - I need the sorry graphic lol. I meant to upload your source code with the file - I have updated it now!
