I used to play it - and yes, it was every bit as good as the Speccy's Chaos (not surprising, since it was a very close clone). I still have the tape somewhere...

The WWW link is a clue.

Woohoo!

...and we get a good review in the process. Tell Ruari his cheque is in the post James (...or at least I'll get the guys to stop beating him up!!!)

Big assumption, and quite wrong.

It nice to have a good looking box, and I do wish companies paid more attention to the packaging, but having said that the box artwork contributes absolutely nothing to my decision of whether to buy a game or not. At the end of the day it's the game that matters and a naff box doesn't make a good ga...

Well, c'mon, how many old games had snow that looked like snow? So it's kinds right that the snow doesn't look like snow... I think.

Is there a reason why really non of your links to photobucket is working? Even when trying to use the direkt link via copy & paste, results in "page not found" on that site. Possibly they are only viewable with your account? Same here. None of yethboth's screenshots are showing up, and following th...

I have to say I'm in the "video games only" crowd too. Pinball games are a different form of gaming altogether and while they have their place, I don't think they belong here. We might as well demand that board games and fruit machines and PBM games are covered too.

And of course there's no reason why you can't buy the C64 version for all the neat stuff in the pack

Now why did you have to go and remind me of that? <shudder>

Jack Tramiel was apparently a complete nutter at Commodore, fired people at random and wouldn't listen to reason even from his own board. Try telling that guy the CD 32 was piece of s*** Tramiel wasn't at Commodore by that point, he was ousted before they moved into the 16-bit market. Irving Gould ...

Too bad. I wouldn't consider it "dumbing it down"; it just facilitates the player to play the game. The difficulty of the puzzles would remain intact. Yes, but the story and prose would become virtually redundant. The interface would spoon-feed you all the important items so you wouldn't need to us...

I have a question. I have the Winfrotz interpreter and Infocom games. While I can play them, I was wondering if anyone has done any modifications to improve the UI. I'm interested in a UI like the one found in the Legend games, where you had a list of the available verbs, a list of the interactive ...

Have you mentioned the IF Comp 2007 yet?
