Wow! We posted the same game at exactly the same time! :dance

That's really tickled me! :D

Your screenshot was better than mine as it had the Mole in TWICE!

And the great thing is that the game is completely unaffected!

So I turned to that other IT. What does it stand for? What doesn't it stand for. It stands for commitment, it stands for audacity, it stands for courage in the face of... Roy! Put that comic down and help out here, and don't just say "have you tried turning it off and on again?" So, where are the options? Technician Ted's factory only makes the chips (and hopefully MUDL are making defective 6502s that'll put a spanner in Commodore's works). Make-a-Chip also only goes as far as designing the chip. Specventure is based inside an actual Spectrum... but it's full of bugs, and it won't work properly until the end of the game.

So what you get instead is... Moley Christmas, because that's very clearly the IT department of Gremlin Graphics.

If you can do that thing that Ted Rogers did without snapping your fingers off, you're doing very well.

...and to avoid falling foul of the rule where I can't have Technician Ted because "Ted" is in the title, technically the game is called The Chip Factory... right? But why not play it safe and have Costa Capers instead.

We're all going off to the southern hemisphere (where it's summer), y viva... Botswana?

First time player. Hope I've got this right. A 'don' is a mafia boss, and if there was ever a game about a mafia boss...

Thanks for joining in, Dave, great try and I feel terrible having to say this, but sadly that one breaks the rule because it has "Jam" in the title! :cry: The game you choose may not contain the key word in its title. That rule is there to prevent long chains of games using the same word over and over, to prevent sequels being used, and to prevent players just searching for titles containing that word, instead it challenges players' knowledge of what's actually in games!
