Ok, preblurb ramble.......... . Today my task was to be but one (except for a task Paul asked of me) 1 - desolder chips from one of my Music 500s and replace with sockets as these fail fairly easily.....and 2-burn some EPROMs for Paul. . But first Paul had to get here and it looks like he may be on ...

Also a starter score.....never liked this one much but it's well written.....

And so the force has corrected the issue......

High Score Tables Updated for Season 22, Round Nine...... I wonder how many have played this game before? It's not bad but does suffer from some dodgy collision detection and a little tedium at times. Otherwise it's fairly well programmed and as usual our better players found bugs later on in the g...

Marginally better but at least over 13k....

Hi all, Glad Uncle Claude is now finally fixed and playable after 40 years. BTW The version on the Fistful Of Fun compilation (also by Alligata) is also bugged in the same way too, so only the original version from Softspot was released in a playable version. Have fun! Mick. Well, it's still playab...

This is one of the main reasons for people play testing ALL BBC games on this forum, so we can come across little errors in the games that either the buying public never found (possibly because they never played the game to the point that an error popped up) or because the software house didn't do ...

Slightly better......

I can do no more tonight for fear of losing what's left of my sanity......

Broke 10k.....

Still working on Claude, keyboard version. I'm more comfortable with keyboard than joystick......

I'll probably not get off Uncle Claude to Freddy......I don't think I'll have the patience.

So, I've put both images up, you can play either and or both to improve your score. The second one (Electric Freddy) has no joystick option and the keys are weird so when you're playing Uncle Claude and can only go to level 11 and switch over, you'll have to relearn the keys (or remap them on an emu...

In case we decide to continue.....

I actually did it! :D And, yes it corrupts the screen on an actual BBC B. Maybe it's a bad file and there is a working one out there somewhere. We'd need someone with an original to see if it does the same. 16,250 Nice work! Ed, what do we do now though if we can't find a non-corrupt version :?: We...

The crash occurs at around the 13:16 mark.

So it appears we have a game that is limited in scope because of this crash......would that be a correct assessment?

Yup, it's going to depend on how long I can stay awake playing this one.....

I had this one when in Iceland. Can't say I'm enamoured but I wasn't then either. It does play quite well though, just me being petty.....

High Score Tables Updated for Season 22, Round Eight...... Well, this season seems to be the season of 'new' old games for me, some better than others. This one is really an unfair game but it's upside as some have mentioned is it's quick so you don't have to suffer long. It does also have a certai...

Now I start to get better!!!

I agree, even a long game in this is short.......it's best quality.....

You can use the shift key to fire too in this game. That's what I'm doing.

A very small increase again. Perhaps something larger next time. I agree with Venger, this is way too much luck to get through and it's so random that it's a bit disheartening and yet..... it's somewhat addictive, the game you hate to love and love to hate as it were......

A tiny bit better......

Broke 14k, my fingers are numb.......

Boy, another small increase. Had to really work to break 13k.....
