Re: Out of context Spectrum games
I wonder how far "out of context" we can get. I have just heard from a contact Down Under (Toowoomba native, now exiled to Canberra) that there's this band called... are you ready for this?... Rick Dangerous and the Silkie Bantams. Maybe they've made an appearance here before, maybe they haven't, and the article is from 2015, predating both the creation of this website and The Unpleasantness with that thing beginning with V that we don't mention. Either way, they may appeal to... some of you.
I'm not terribly sure I trust them to run away from a rolling rock, retrieve the Jewel of Ankhel, escape from Schwarzendumpf Castle or blow up an underground missile base, mind...

Not so sure - "A Picosecond in Paradise" doesn't sound very Mills & Boon!

Yes, I’d found that, but it’s only the title of a single and does not have a proper image so I say disqualified!

The Planck Time in Paradise. A-a-and I think we’re done with this one. 
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Maybe just one more... Collaborative thoughts on empathy, that's a big topic for a Wally game.
Wally: "Wilma, is there anything you'd like to share with the group?"
Wilma: "Yes, I've been feeling very uneasy about the level of gender-stereotyping in the last game. Why do I have to do the shopping and go to the library while the men get to climb up pylons and build walls?"
Tom: "How does that make you feel?"
Harry: "Have you been thinking about taking the long trip up Wobbly Walk again?"

Re: Out of context Spectrum games
This is probably about as "out of context" as it's possible to get, even if it's in a completely different way to how this thread was intended.

(Or would the MSX version have been more appropriate?)

Re: Out of context Spectrum games
I'm guessing this has probably been done before, but with this thread having 20 pages I didn't bother checking.

Re: Out of context Spectrum games
Neat, and a very niche gag for a comedian! Any idea where that is? I just tried to find it on google and it turns out there are loads of Banyan Tree shops out there (I posted one in Hebden Bridge further up the thread). Wonder how many are are nod to JSW.
