Great stuff. I've started collating these for the DB. I see that WASD and strict enforcement of the deadly fall is de rigueur with the kids these days! I'll be playing some of these all the way through.

WASD

Educational standards continue to fall, I see.

Heh. One of them (Bod run) has a pop at the C64 and Amstrad, so there's cause for optimism.

I saw the WASD and thought people will be calling it unplayable, flashback to my first release when I dared use WASD like scheme

This is wonderful and so heart-warming! Well done to all the kids! And well done to the teacher for this fantastic exercise. One wonders how long each game took to make in total.

I'm definitely not "down with the kids", with their tick tocks, "mobile telephones" and WASD. Call me a Q-OAP, but to me it seems quite obvious that when God designed the human body, He only intended the first two fingers to be used for primary key controls in videogames. The ring finger enjoys far less dexterity, and the little finger even less. Fingers such as those simply shouldn't be placed in charge of pressing "left".

... Q-OAP...

Round of applause for that I think! Stick it on a T-shirt in rubber key letters and you'll sell a million (well, a few hundred)

In which @RoseTintedSpectrum adjusts his language accordingly.

Ta. Fun watch that. I owe Dave an apology for doubting him - I did a "Tsk" when I first saw the stock YouTube shocked face advert.

[Nitrowing]

I got seconds in to that and closed the idiot.

Those games are brilliant. The quirky charm of the Speccy combined with the imaginations of 10-year-olds is a pretty special combination

Completed (and RZX-recorded):
Time Portal, The Lost Puzzle, Retro, Mission Lost, Meadow Run, Adventure Stars, Cheese Vs Mice, Bod Run.

I couldn't work out how to finish the others: are they possible, or are some screens just broken?
Smiley in the Hole, Invasion of Japan, Devil Run, Arrow Run.

Smiler In The Hole is finishable. Which screen is causing the problem*? I can't remember which one, but I do think I encountered at least one impossible/broken scenario in the others though.

You didn't hear this from me, but...

POKE 32028,X lives. (BUT JUST FOR TRAINING PURPOSES - CHEATS NEVER PROSPER!

*if it's the one with the 3 green face lifts that you stand on, don't try and jump between them, just go to the bottom and then get on the one at the right.

Oh, they're lifts... I thought they were enemies, and avoided them. Done it now!

[Lee Bee]

With lifts like that, who needs enemies!?

Got 'em with the ol' switcheroo
