Spectrum Computing

It's wonderful. Very well done.

Great graphics, buttery smooth game play.

Not sure if this is the takeaway that you were expecting but would the centrifugal forces be that strong to feel them in space? No, I also thought this. Still a nice bit of action. Oh yes. So basically everyone took from 2001 I guess. However, I don't know if you have to do this to dock with space ...

This clip is how I feel when I successfully dock in elite. All these years later it is still satisfying and evocative to do it.

Surely these guys played that game and had it in mind for this scene??

Some photos of my harlequin rev g with a new set of roms

This one seems to work ok with my divide 53.c. just the real 48k that is having a problem

Basin has a really good tape editor. It's what I use to edit and build tap files.

Hmmm it doesn't seem to work with divide5.7c/exsdos. I wasn't expecting that.

Changed the ROM in my original spectrum 48k...

Personal computer magazine hated Clive.

Golf on the gameboy is so, so good. I play it still, on a little Gameboy pocket. The game is so tight. It has 2 courses, but do you need more? The gameplay has some depth and load or reply value. I would love to see a version for the spectrum, but how would the graphics work? I just can't get my hea...

I've always liked the look of this for the CPC. Hard to do on the spectrum

Not played this one, but seems pretty impressive

@Daveysloan your game was a lot of fun. Definitely a near miss.

The difficulty on the ice level and the collision detection in some places where just crap enough to take you out of the running.

With a few tweaks that could be a very good game indeed.

@EdToo have you published the itch page? I can't download the game, or even access the page?

@firelord

Did you like my final review of your game?

It took me weeks. I hope I got it right.

Once I realised 2 things I enjoyed it:

1) I was the boss and I could do what I wanted.

2) it was more rewarding to find the good in the crap than it was to find the crap in the good.

Especially enjoyable are the guys that make a game for the first time. I was one of those people once.

ED, good luck for the year ahead. Thanks for the review of my crap game. I promise I sent you the best of my pile!! For everyone else - I throw down the hardcore hangman challenge... Can you play through my 12 hangman words without dying, or breaking into the program to cheat? I went to some effort ...

OK guys - this is it. 44 games - many were better than I deserved. But one was best (poor soul) and one was the worst (poor me). The results, the end of CGC23, the hand over... https://csscgc23.blogspot.com/2023/12/and-in-end.html A love letter to crap games. There is still one more task - that is o...

Agree with @SaNchez I know nothing of these machines and it seems such a shame.

Maybe jet set willy is to manic miner what half-life is to quake 2.

What will I do with my life?

Actually I always assumed scroll broke you out of the program until I played this @firelord

I had fun with this one. My son found my experience of them very funny.

The final review?

game 44.

AI made the game. AI reviewed it.
