I had a such a good time at ABUG South, can I put my name down to come along for the whole weekend?

Getting better... this is higher than my best score last time round. 813,738

Yes! Great game, this. Here's my first couple of attempts... 301,692

Thanks everyone for a great day, sorry I had to leave early... So nice to meet everyone and share projects and ideas and advice See you next time!

A small improvements, still only getting as far as level 2... 17,880

This is a tough game, hope to improve on my score from last time... 14,070

Not much time for games recently, shame as this is pretty good... 87,155

Completed the game, so now trying to optimise the score. You need to get at least 3 tanks through to the final level to defeat it, but you can use any remaining ones to improve your score... feel free to leave this score out of the HSC if this is not strictly allowed. 129,600

Uh, I didn't expect this... I just completed the game (on skill level 1). I assumed it would keep going after you get to the big gun at the end, but no, the game just ends. Anyway, here's a score to aim at: 115,000

I'm now up to level 3, but not figured out how to do it yet. I cleared level 1 at the first attempt, but needed to restart level 2 a couple of times. Maybe there's a way to adjust the HSC points calculation so that reaching higher levels is given more weight? :-k My best so far: 9589 perplexity2.jpg

Nice game... Just getting started, up to level 2 so far. 4544

I'm currently maintaining BeebEm. The latest version is v4.15 beta 1, available here, which may fix the video capture issue. Please give it a try and let us know if it works for you.

I do like where this is heading...

Such sad news, I'm sorry. I certainly will be thinking of you.

Almost to the top of level 2 ... 3726

Never played this before, I like it, good choice! Got past the first screen at least... 2738.

I'm enjoying this game a lot ... 28,454

A new high score ... 17,291

Excellent game... I'm up to 11,201 after a few attempts

That's odd - I thought B-Em would be closer to a BBC than BeebEm is. Sadly cannot ditch the Emulator detector as it only detects if BeebEm is there (or not) and not B-em. One thing I have done is alter the code that slows the game down to make it JSR its original routine &18A8 first then do the slo...

A little better ... 2715

Here's my first attempt - I got to near the end of level 3, those colours ... 1850

The code has a few issues, as it breaks SSD support and can cause BeebEm to crash. Happy for others to take a look and improve as needed. Is that because you have chosen to convert SSD into a lower level representation? B-Em takes a different approach in that each supported disk format has a virtua...

For now, I have pushed a branch with billcarr2005's FSD changes to BeebEm: https://github.com/stardot/beebem-windows/tree/fsd-disk-support The code has a few issues, as it breaks SSD support and can cause BeebEm to crash. Happy for others to take a look and improve as needed. I don't plan to merge t...

I can't cope with the gap between C and B ... why couldn't he use Z and X like everybody else ... :-({|= :roll: It is a strange choice of controls... I'd never heard of this game before, but that's the great thing about this competition :-) I got this score playing in jsbeeb, will have a go on real...

As a slight caution, "Syncron" has some stonking great subsonics in it. Be careful with your volume control if you try it with nice loudspeakers and an amp that doesn't roll off. Back in the day, a Musical Fidelity B1 managed to bottom out the cones in my Tannoy Saturn MkIIs playing that piece! :sh...

A bit better, now up to 5th dan... 39,900

You have a couple of options. The Music 500 came with software loaded from tape or disk, no ROMs: https://github.com/stardot/beebem-windows/raw/master/UserData/DiscIms/Music500.ssd The first thing is to load the AMPLE language: *RUN AMPLE and then run one of the example music files: "SYNCRON" LOADRU...

I think 4.15 is almost ready for release... here's a first beta: download . If beta testing goes well, I hope to publish 4.15 on the official BeebEm website . Please report any problems or issues in this thread, or raise them on GitHub . Here are the changes from the current 4.14 release: Fixed 320x...

which is the active GitHub for BeebEm I have to date reported 3 issues at https://github.com/stardot/beebem-windows/issues but nit sure if this the active GitHub for it. Peter. That's the right one. And thanks for reporting the issues, although I might not know what the solutions are (particularly ...
