Thanks Kees I spent quite a bit of time trying to get each screen right, so even though the instructions were a bit minimal, it wasn't too frustrating to play.


I've got a few ideas yeah, probably something simpler than an arcade adventure though as that took me far too long. Maybe a run n gun or puzzle game, something more data driven which I can generate more content for easily.

That said, I'm leaving the retro stuff alone for a while and will probably pick one of my ideas up next year.

Cheers

Hi Dave,

Congratulations on the game! I bought on Friday after seeing a thread on Stardot and I've not been disappointed. I couldn't wait for the disk to arrive and I'm not a fan of emulators so I managed to hook up my HxC to the Micro I got last week and copied the SSD image to that (just need a longer floppy cable).

I can see it was a real labour of love for you and it shows in the quality.

Have you submitted a copy of the game to TMR to review in Retro Gamer?

I've got a Master 128 as well so I can't wait to see what you do for your next game.



Steve

Cheers! I must confess I would hate to know how much time I spent designing the screens to get them just how I wanted them


I believe samwise emailed him a copy a while back - been meaning to chase it up with Jason but didn't want to look like I was pestering him.

Glad you enjoyed it,

Dave

Picked up my copy from ebay at the end of last week, and i love it!

Instantly took me back to being a kid playing games like palace of magic, and camelot.

Have to say i'm pretty bad at it at the moment, but i think that's more to do with my gun-ho attitude i've picked up from modern gaming.

Hopefully this is the first of many new releases on the BBC

Thanks for the feedback drfred, really nice to hear people do enjoy the game after the effort I put in


Indeed; I probably will do another BBC game but in the meantime I'm hoping someone else will pick up the baton and get some fresh stuff out this year!
