That's still fantastic work!

Superb game Tartesso! Can I ask if the levels are your own design, or a standard template (as for example, a lot of Sokoban games).

Also a couple of bugs: "PULL LEVER" is interpreted as "QUIT GAME", and "SEARCH" seems to be interpreted as "SHOOT".

Thanks for the cool game DaRe. I completed it today. Can I ask how you did the images?

Hi Ed, are you about and still taking entries? Hope things are okay. Let us know if you need any help.

Hi Ruben, thanks for the game. Is it made with a tool, like MK1 or ZXGameMaker? Also - I notice there is an AY player and music at the end of the cassette, but the game does not load them. Is the music supposed to be part of the game? Ta. Dave

Cute game! Is there a bug in the demo? It starts off with 0 moves (which overclocks to 255), and level 2 only has 1 move

Strange bug - on level 7, "BOTTY" (or anything OTTY) makes it return to BASIC!

Got it. Thanks! A nice extra supplement to my daily Wordle fix.

Hi, I've just paid for the game and it says nothing to download yet. How do I access it please?

I just swung by for this, but I can happily wait another week :) I really enjoyed the others in the series.

Great game. I'm stuck on level 2 - link because of spoilers

Am I on the right track?

Thanks for this. It's a good read and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of it. I spotted a few little bugs:

'self- ritical' missing the c; 'well- efined' missing the d; 

and you can burn the note, and still select burn the note afterwards.

There were a few little quirks in the text, nothing major, but if you want any help proof reading let me know :–)

@Frankster - we've been playing this over on the SC forum. Any chance you could give us a bit of background on this - from original coding, attempted release (?), to recovery 37 years later?

Must be the number of turns. I just did a quick run through and scored the full 250. I love that the game starts with the classic "GET LAMP" by the way...

Great find, and a great game this, classic oldschool, and a very timely release regarding the coronation! I just completed it with 240/250. Thanks for the game. Now to get back to it and see where those 10 points went...

Regular is fine. The highest levels on easy must be somewhere between 'regular' and 'too hard' anyway. 

So does the game not have an ending? I was mapping it for Pavero's site. Will a map consisting of the first 15 screens be representative?  (I mean, it won't miss anything will it?)

I had to quit at level 46 (on easy).  As I said on the SC forum—I'm not that kinky! I'd much rather see something different at that stage like a boss or a congrats message. Still, thanks for a superb game and a great way to spend a wet bank holiday Monday :–)

I'm enjoying this game. Ta very much.

Did you write the music? I'll be honest and admit that it drives me crazy so I play in 48K mode! I might want to do a feature on the game in the upcoming Woot 2021 Christmas tape magazine - if so could I include a sample of the music?
