Just updated the latest files for Nixy. I noticed that the CRT file does not work at all now on my C64 Maxi, whereas the original file with the bug DID work! Has anybody noticed this on their C64 Maxi? The D64, PRG, and TAP FILES load fine. I wish Psytronics would check these problems before releasing new updates. Or at least notify that the CRT file doesn't work on C64 Maxi. It might also have been courteous for them to reply to my previous comments too. The same observation was made by another reviewer in response to mine. 

I noticed your observations after I posted my comments. The colour hue changes to a deeper shade when scrolling left or right and also vertically, up or down, and returns to an insipid hue when the Nixy character stops. I haven't noticed this effect on the YouTube reviews so conclude those videos were made with original machine or perhaps using the Vice emulator. The effects, as already mentioned, don't appear on my Android Frodo emulator. I'm guessing it must be the C64 Maxi emulation. At least I now know it's not just my C64 Maxi! Perhaps Psytronics might proffer an explanation. Thank you for your reply. BW, Michael 

Lovely game. Very fine attention to detail. One small thing. I'm playing it on a C64 Maxi. I've noticed on the levels where there's foliage on the the trees the hue changes to a deeper green when scrolling left or or right and changes to a more lighter insipid green when stationary. I've tried the game on the Frodo emulator for Android and there's no obvious change in hue. I'm guessing it must be something to do with the C64 Maxi emulation. Comments would be helpful. Brilliant rendition of the ZX Spectrum version, in fact better.
