Roll over Mariah Carey, here is the real Xmas number 1.
Re: WOOT 2023 released!
Yep, push her aside, even though all she wants for Christmas is EdToooooooooooooooooooooo.
Re: WOOT 2023 released!
I must have misheard the lyrics, I thought all she wanted for Christmas was Wooooot!

Re: WOOT 2023 released!
And I loved the Shane's tribute...
A month ago, at the Porto's post punk festival, while waiting for The Chameleons and New Model Army gigs, all the peple was chanting Dirty Old Town on the venue. A very touching moment...

Wootiful!! Awesome!! Thank you Dave! The content all looks very entertaining. It’ll keep me occupied while waiting for the KS2 Speccy to ship.

Wonderful as always! Thanks for the write up and the wonky eyes, that's exactly what I look like right now as I nurse a hangover.
Re: WOOT 2023 released!
I have not been active on the zx spectrum for the last year but I have been looking forward to this.
Thanks and a very merry christmas to all.

Rosetta is a lot like C.S.S.C.G.C winning feels a lot like losing
Re: WOOT 2023 released!
Congrats
I'm currently stuck on your text adventure (no need for hints yet - I probably just need a breather).

Re: WOOT 2023 released!
brilliant, brilliant stuff. That was a morning well spent.
Nice to see some good versions of some of those crap games. Although I wish there was a mode in the new Face punch to let you play with the crap graphics @Red Zebra

Re: WOOT 2023 released!
A fantastic early Christmas present! Of the included programs, I've finished Rosetta (a nice little puzzle), half-way through Roasty (have had a break from it after getting trapped in the bottom-left corner of one screen), and am really enjoying Parsley Sage and the 7 Bins of Sunak - it's like a greatly improved Cookie! Thanks to everyone who contributed, I look forward to going through the rest of the bundle.
All software to-date
Working on something, as always.

Re: WOOT 2023 released!
Is there a recommended emulated hardware to see the Gigascreen? My eyes are bleeding.
Re: WOOT 2023 released!
Also loving @TMD2003 mario jukebox.
I bet that code could be adapted to work on a 48k spectrum with ay and the .play command in esxdos.
Probably it's a niche crowd that would appeal too
I did have a version of hangman that I hoped to submit, but I still haven't got it finished

Re: WOOT 2023 released!
Yep @C.Born recommends Retro Virtual Machine. It works in SPIN too.
If flickers badly in Spectaculator.
Re: WOOT 2023 released!
Congratulation on realising this. There's a lot of good stuff here.
In Roasty, is some weird control of the hero after flipping the switch a bug or a feature?

Re: WOOT 2023 released!
Feature! You are the potato that wants to be roasted. Once you flip the switch that turns the oven on, you get so excited that you can't stop jumping. (Instructions are on the loading screen). It's an offshoot of my old Sprouty game.
(or were you kidding? )
Re: WOOT 2023 released!
Despite receiving some of the games weeks ago, it's only now that I've had chance to play them properly. Progress so far:
The 7 Bins of Sunak: my best is 1501 and level 4.
Colourfusion: 59 It's doing my head in - I'm trying to do look at the corner of the box and even squint, but the word keeps taking over
Tapeworm: Hi-Score 49, but I think I'm only a lucky game away from triple figures
Rotadaci - completed with 3252
Blocktor Woot - completed previously
I'm finding Crazy Christmas and Jeff's Christmas Tat really hard!
