rklrkl64 24th Sep 2023		Frak! (BBC Micro / Electron, 1984)	It's quite possible that my cracked copy of Frak! was passed around the UK quite a bit - the copy protection was mildly fun to crack and, yes, I quickly came across the Captain Pugwash tune in the BASIC preloader. I was writing a tape-to-disk copier in 6502 at the time (I'm not sure I gave anyone a copy of that back then!), so naturally I rewrote Orlando's code in 6502 and made it interrupt-driven too. Result: A toggleable option in my copier to play the Captain Pugwash theme in the background while the copier was reading the tape device and writing to disk in the foreground. A suitably ironic re-use I thought :-)

23skidoo 3rd Aug 2023		Taipan! (Apple II, 1982)	A brilliant game that holds up well even today. The randomness was impressive for 1982 and it was easy to get sucked into the wheeling and dealing, and the ship-to-ship combat, while slow, could be tense at times if you lost too many ships. I read somewhere once that James Clavell's novel was a partial inspiration for this as well, though having read the book any connection if it exists would have to be at the most superficial level.
23skidoo 3rd Aug 2023		Adventure II (Atari 5200, 2007)	Being Atari this could go either way: is this a sequel to the famous 2600 game, or to the computer game also known as Colossal Cave? It's likely the 2600 but you never know.

alexlincs 27th Mar 2023		Alien 3 (Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, 1992)	For trivia fans cover art work is from the teaser poster. The artwork used for the final film poster was Ripley next to the alien queen.
23skidoo 21st Mar 2023		Odyssey: The Compleat Apventure (Apple II, 1980)	Followed by a sequel, Apventure to Atlantis. I played Odyssey for hours when I was a kid - and I still love firing it up when I find it on an emulator. The game expanded on two earlier games, Dungeon Campaign and Wilderness Campaign, both of which predated Atari's "Adventure" by a couple of years. Odyssey was a true pioneering game, predating the likes of Ultima.
23skidoo 21st Mar 2023		Adventure (Atari 2600, 1980)	I dispute the statement that it was the first graphic adventure game. Perhaps for consoles, but there had been graphic adventures made for home computer systems such as Apple II for several years before Adventure came out. Examples include Akalabeth: World of Doom from 1979. There were also several released in 1980 such as Odyssey the Compleat Apventure and Mystery House but I don't know if they came out before or after Adventure. The guy who did Odyssey also did something called Dungeon Campaign or Dungeon Adventure in 1978 that basically had everything Atari's Adventure did other than monsters.
albert 15th Jan 2023		Elite (BBC Micro / Electron, 1984)	I loved Elite, there was so much packed into the game that you could easily spend hours and not get bored. Docking took a little bit of practice but once you mastered the skill then it really was quite easy and you could dock quite quickly, [and if I remember correctly there may have been an upgrade for auto-docking that you purchased during your intergalactic trading]. Anyway that was the thing, you started with a really basic spacecraft and through your trading you built up the spacecraft into something that was much more powerful. You could buy 'fuel scoops' which allowed you to refuel your exhausted engines by flying close to the sun, thus eliminating the need to dock and purchase fuel at a docking station, and thereby allowing you to roam the galaxies without limitation. The novel gave you hints on which galaxies and planets had the goodies and the galactic chart helped you plan a journey. You also had to get into 'illegal activity' in order to become an outlaw and I think then be offered amnesty and richer rewards fighting against bad guys plaguing other galaxies. Battles in 3D were fun and when you zapped another spacecraft you got to scoop up their lost cargo, spacecraft upgrade kit, and other items floating around the area. Elite completely shook things, you have to remember that before Elite games were usually 2D pacman/invaders clones, or text based adventure games, or extremely slow 3D maze games. Elite had criticism because of it's line-dawn environment, but 3D gameplay was fast, and showed the capabilities of the Acorn chips, in fact when the game was ported onto other consoles (using shaded blocks) it just didn't work, the limitations of other consoles were brutally exposed - they were just way too slow compared to the BBC machine. Brilliant game.
