New forum game -- Spectrum graphics in the real world?
Re: New forum game -- Spectrum graphics in the real world?
I feel I know this one. It's not my first instinct, but it's got a touch of Automata about it - Piman?

Yes, Piman was also the first it came to my mind
Re: New forum game -- Spectrum graphics in the real world?
That would be my guess also.
Re: New forum game -- Spectrum graphics in the real world?
It's probably that game by PROSM.
(Edit: never mind, I hadn't noticed the clue below the picture)
At least my detective urges were fulfilled as I quickly found the place where Juan F. Ramirez took his photo of the Frost Byte sprite ...

Haha, fortunately it wasn't in my room.
Yep, PiMan is definitely on the right track. By the looks of that pic he's 'assumed' that position before, but I was actually thinking of the lifters in Olympimania:

I'm imagining you sharing this observation with the reception staff!
and if that was hanging above my pillow, I'd sleep in the car.
Re: New forum game -- Spectrum graphics in the real world?
Either way you'd probably have nightmares.
Probably a bit like most of the audience after PiMan made an appearance on ITV's Magic Micro Mission (it's episode 5 on YouTube if you can stomach it).

Oh wow, Magic Micro Mission! That's a blast from the past!
Wasn't it Jo Wheeler that presented it? I suspect I mainly like the show because I was a bit sweet on her.

Jo Wheeler did a grand job coping with that weirdness...
I have a little YouTube channel of nonsense

It's a simple one, but I was in the garden this morning and it came to mind.

Don't worry, I just do it for fun, you are not my first "victim"
Also, nice "3-in-1 action" on that spray, fits with the 3 different spraycans in Pssst!

Bloody hell! Now I'm doing it. There's nothing to guess - it's the same game as Juan's earlier. I'm just worried that I'm taking photos of everyday objects in busy public places while grinning like an imbecile.

The thing from Frost Byte is called a "Keezer" by the way.
Re: New forum game -- Spectrum graphics in the real world?
Are short videos allowed? Hope so! I shot this in the New Forest last spring when I had a thought along the same lines as this thread.
Not a difficult one, I suspect.

I'm guessing it's 3D Death chase but it could be Explorer. I can imagine eyerolls all round if you had company while filming that!
Re: New forum game -- Spectrum graphics in the real world?
Yes!
I didn't, fortunately.
