For no particular reason I have made a list of my top 5 arcade games I'd like to see on the BBC Micro. AFAIK they all made it to at least one 8 bit machine in some form or another. Food for thought

Congo Bongo (AKA Tip Top)
Kung Fu Master
Xybots
Rolling Thunder
Gauntlet

Fantastic work fella, looking really good!

I'm also after a copy of this un if anyone has one, ta

Interesting, not heard of that one before, look forward to seeing some progress, I'm a sucker for some D&D

Go on pop us on, will you, dave-f on github, ta

Best of luck

Good to chat with you this weekend too!

Yes had a great time, lots of new faces I didn't recognise, and some veterans I've not met before too!

Many thanks to Jason for the organisation, and also to the centre itself which I think was a pretty good venue, the fella running it there I found knowledgeable and friendly.

Cheers

Just got round to giving this a go, very nice! If I had one criticism, I couldn't always figure out what direction my keypress would take the cursor, and became confused often! That said however I only had 2 goes so that may become obvious after another few turns. Otherwise lovely job both of you =D>

what ever happened to that Beeb adventure creation tool you were developing..? I had a particular idea in mind and wanted a (modern) tool to enable me to write it for the BBC. Unfortunately it never got much past printing out the locations, which is a shame but I don't have the time or energy these...

For some reason I found myself reading this at the weekend, nicely done that man.

Lovely job on the video walkthrough too!

Sounds good, pop me down as interested too!

Cheers

What happened to curry at 9pm?

I only just got here

Edit:

Right I've waited 1.5 hours in the bar so I'm off. Pretty annoyed nobody could be bothered to wait for me. I won't bother next time

Hopefully going to pop along - should be there about 8:30 in time for the curry!

Yes the weather situation is the same for me - hoping it melts a bit today

There's a few listed on the ol' wiki

Just sent the money Simon, looking forward to it

Last time I sent the money to retrosoftware, where does it go this time?

Just got round to giving this a go - it really is rather good!

Excellent job, very enjoyable game

OK I'm booked in for Friday again, couldn't get the room for both Friday and Saturday, but it semed to work out OK last time!

See you all next year

I though Ziggy's did a good tandoori when I went to meet up in August. It also had the advantage of catering for some of the guys that didn't like spicy food. Perhaps it was a bit busier on the Friday night and they didn't do so well? The food wasn't actually bad, and for £11 including a couple of ...

Premier Inn Wakefield maybe?

Don't remember being asked, although I did leave earlier than most

Anyway, I'm up for that, and for the curry too. Ziggy's was a bit "special" so I'm happy to go elsewhere!

Everything was going fine until Colin asked Pete if he remembered "when 2 big birds came out in Chuckie Egg"

Thanks for organising, I had a great time, good to see everyone again, and a couple of new faces! Sorry I had to dash off early but I came back thinking of new projects!

Still can't get over a curry and two pints for £11

Hoping to be in Halifax about 7ish, making it out for a pre-curry pint or two about 8

Cheers, sadly the serial buffer thing didn't work

Weirdly it apparently works from PC to Archimedes, but not the other way round!

Cheers, I believe with ZModem it gets about 50% through, then aborts..

A friend of mine has got an old A440 (running Risc OS 3.11) and would like to get the files off it before the HD packs up.

What's the best way? He's tried XModem (via ArcTerm7, ZAnsi and Connector) but they all seem to cancel the transfer

Is there some nice simple software he can use?

Cheers

I've been after this for a while, managed to find a copy online which I've attached here.

I've also recently got hold of the original tape which I can bring along to Halifax if anyone wants to image it, in case there's any difference...

Nice one, really looking forward to this un
