Well, because one of my keys I would map to is on a key that isn't on the Beeb so I'll be playing on my hardware rather than Beeb-Em. That's good though cause by now at least 1/2 dozen keys will be sticky from non-use.....sigh......and no, I've been putting it off because I don't dig it......

Score: 8990
Great stuff!
Hilarious to see the photo of him as an 80s teen, and also to hear him being so deprecating about the game's shortcomings

High Score Tables Updated for Season 20, Round 02......
Well, this game isn't the greatest but it's playable. I only put about 1-1/2 hours into it, all I could bear but it could be worse. it deserves it's nickname, JCB Judder, that's for sure.
We do have a winner ....... the winner this time is ManiacMiner with a wonderful score of over 34k. Congratulations on a great high score and win MM.
On a side note I'd like to thank all those who played this round. We had 9 playing this game this round so.....Thank you!!! It seems we are mostly averaging out at 11 so this participation is below average.
As usual please check to ensure I've not missed anyone's scores because it's easy to miss things on this and I really don't want to do that for anyone's hard earned score.
