Re: Remake Bruce Lee for the BBC

Hi, I did consider having a crack at a NULA version of Bruce Lee, and went as far as getting (most of?) the graphics out: https://github.com/dave-f/brucelee-gfx-extract/blob/master/image.png?raw=true I ended up going for Pharaoh's Curse as my mate who does the graphics preferred tackling that one in...

Pharaoh's Curse : NuLA restoration

Hi all, Hot on the heels of sbadger's excellent Qwak NuLA update, here's another one! This is an update to the 1984 game Pharaoh's Curse, which I really enjoyed back in the day.

Also The Ely was a great locati...
