Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Re: Game of the day...
Pfff! What a boring ending!
Re: Game of the day...
That's quite good by Speccy standards! I'd take that over the perfunctory "CONGRATULATIONS" or sadistic 'back to level one' anyday!
They missed a trick though:

I was just joking about it and yes, it's the usual speccy standards.
BTW, there are even worse endings, like Underwurlde...

Jungle Trouble by Durell.
I'd define it with only two words: I CAN'T.
I go to the right, grab the axe, run to the left (according to the instructions) but I can't jump over the stones so the friendly crocodile come across me.
I remember, when I was young, leaping over these stones one day but I can't remember now how I did it...
One of the most frustrating games I've played.

Never mind, we all know you'd never have managed the swinging rope anyway..

You guys have spoiled me the surprise of Zythum's spectacular ending.
Re: Game of the day...
Quite surprised you hadn't seen it yet considering you've been playing it continuously for the last 3 or so years...

Re: Game of the day...
I've been savoring it.

Very slowly.

I didn't realise it was written in BASIC.

It's me. I'm basic.
Yesterday, after my ritual Zythum session, played
Activision's Ghostbusters 2
had a few go's and got past the first level - "Bungee Jumping into a River of Slime" - which wasn't bad.
In the second level you have to protect a walking Statue of Liberty by shooting at ghouls and ghosts, which isn't bad either, just too much repetitive.
Had a quick go at Spellbound too. I didn't remember I wrote a nice review for it on Spectrum 2.0.

Re: Game of the day...
Love . . . hate . . . That’s just semantics. Besides, you only say that because you barely beat me by a few points.

Congratulations Cruelman. Your followers, the Zythites, are pleased by your efforts; however, your negative comments are heresy, and you shall be ceremonially drowned in a beer barrel.

You don’t know it’s beer. There could be your favorite libation in those barrels. Have you checked?

Re: Game of the day...
