Games news from a parallel universe
Well, that was bizarre. Just finished my Sunday dinner and then all of a sudden, a wormhole appeared and a different version of myself popped out and handed me a copy of this month's Your Sinclair.
He didn't have much time to explain it to me, but the gist of it is, in his dimension, the ZX Spectrum is still a commercially viable platform, it's a place where people just got bored of the so-called 'superior' platforms. Then he jumped back into the wormhole before I could ask for next week's lottery numbers.
Here's a quick scan of T'Zers..

Re: Games news from a parallel universe
Important news has arrived by a white raven telling us about the official Game Of Thrones arcade game! It's bound to be a winner and we hope that Macsen Software proven track record of TV to computer conversions will not let us down. Be you a Lannister, a Stark, a trader from Bravos or that bird with the Dragons......Winter is coming for all 128k owners £7.95
Re: Games news from a parallel universe
Bizarre! I also had some guy calling himself Pete Prodge appear from a wormhole during my morning porridge today, all he said was "Here's an issue of YS from 3 months in the future, sorry, it's a cricket special". Then he deliquesced away.
I picked a couple of mockups...

As expected, Ocean got the rights to publish the official Russia 2018 world cup game for the ZX Spectrum. It will be called 'International Match Day - Russia 2018 edition'. There are rumours that Jon Ritman & Chris Clarke will be again in charge of the team of 300 programmers, graphic designers, testers and donut confectioners that will release the game.

Good job it wasn't US Gold.... the merchandise, the stickers, the wall calendar, the sew on patch, the badge, the t-shirt, stick-on fluffy bugs, the slightly reprogrammed Artic game.Juan F.

Quite scary, I could imagine that column quite realistically.
Though I wonder if people would have eventually got sick of film tie-ins, and start bringing back originality points for new game ideas...

Quite like the sound of that one actually.
Did I say that or just think it?

Re: Games news from a parallel universe
You done it, said it, typed it, posted it and questioned yourself afterwards. Guilty.
Pity the only noise will be a continuous clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap once the game has loaded.

I'm not that keen on your alternative universe though...
Also we'll be talking to the makers of Super Trolley II - Toy Shop Scramble in our local Beatties superstore, and win an arty-farty weekend in Malta with the Rolf's Junior Art School programme!
