I had forgotten about the F1 on the ship, and was looking in the wrong are for the 1st clue. Too subtle before my 2nd coffee :lol:

That didn't take long. I thought it might have been a bit hard when I realised that it never got reviewed and came out about the time that Piranha shut its doors.

Go on then, as I guessed the right software house at least. (And gave away my last couple of goes)

Man I poured a lot of hours into the Fruit Machine game off that compilation.

Here you go - Sorry about the image.

Clue Number 1, this was the first game I played on the Spectrum, at my mates [not a lot of help I must admit]

Gilligan's Gold?

Nope.

Clue 2: a close relative was buried in the desert.

I will post a pic later when I get back to a desktop.

Figured it might be after the blue house (and now the clue), so I'm guessing E.T.X

No way. I knew that the Atari game ET is a contender for the worst game of all time, but didn't know that someone wrote a straight copy for the Spectrum in 1983 with no irony or sarcasm at all.

Absolutely. Correct.

It really was the first game I played on the spectrum at my mates.

Some nice features for the time like the speech. That at the time made you go wow. But the game is quite bad, but not as bad as some of the era.

I think there is a bit of problem with some of the files in the database.

@namco over to you.
