Alright, I managed to complete it. Got most of the way through the second run of levels, then finally got killed off by that annoying buggy level that kills you immediately on entering (so lost two lives to that in total). And as I still can't get back up on the trampoline on the level with the two...

Brilliant!
For anyone who doesn't know they codes (like me!), the keys are Z, X, K and M ...

Wow that looks pretty cool actually!

Pharaoh's Curse by H-Soft is a game that doesn't play on bbcmicro.co.uk (Well, it does, but you have to use jsbeebng rather than jsbeeb) Is there any way it can be fixed? The version posted in the archive request thread under Disc027 works in BeebEm, and sort of works in JsBeeb with some screen inte...

HI , I've started making the original Repton 1 levels for Repton Overture - I just liked the idea of having the original game built into this update. If anyone's interested in a copy let me know. Or has anyone already done this? Going to stick in Repton 3 levels too once done with Repton 1. Sounds ...

nvm

I loved this game back in the day, preferred it to Citadel. I remember mapping it out with felt-tip pens on sheets of paper sellotaped together!

I remember a great sense of achievement when I completed it!

Great review!

Repton was released in 1985 when a lot of BBC Micro games were still pretty terrible. On the BBC Micro it had full screen scrolling, huge graphics, very nice music and the animation of the main character was particularly well done - most non-ported BBC Micro games back then suffered from "programme...

Skirmish. Every time Skirmish.

Yes! Me and my brother spent many hours playing the 2 player version of this! Absolutely brilliant.

I'd just like to say the bbcmicro.co.uk games archive is a phenomenal achievement and I'd like to thank everyone involved in creating this amazing games archive, it's brought back a lot of memories for me. It sounds like you were a big part of that, so you have my appreciation for what you've done f...

Repton 3 got a panning at least: https://archive.org/details/zzapp_64_issue_023_600dpi/page/n21 I can't stand Repton. Compared to the Boulder Dashes, I do indeed find them contrived, clumsy and needlessly involved. Later on from Zzap, Commodore Format used to mock the games as most of us really did...

It's pretty good actually. Only played the Welcome scenario, but it works really well (in keeping with the other versions of Repton for IOS)

I thought Retro software still sold physical copies?
I'd like it too but a physical copy is no use to me as I don't have any physical hardware either :/

Thanks - that worked perfectly!

Hi, I was trying to play Repton Thru Time from the archive, and I had a problem when I tried to load a different scenario, e.g. "Now". Kept getting error "Disk Fault 18 at 00/00" This happens if I try and play online, and also if I download the file and try and play it through Beeb-Em. (Except the e...

Who's is the garage??

It belongs to Mike 87....

It's a really good game, I love it!

I just need to fine time to play it...

I see you've added some extra hints, which is good because last time it took me ages to work out what to do with the spirit and the skulls on level 2...

Update: There's only the final map to make, and then it's out of beta.

Wow!

The more I play this, the more I am impressed with the amount of work that must have gone in to it and I'm not surprised that at some point the author or publisher must have said "It's good enough - ship it".

Broke 10k

^ mind me never to upload any MIA games again then Ed.... never done that with my disc (chk upload above), perfect on a real machine! (Hold down break, take pic of score) tried other pinball games, all just basic or crap graphics (worse collision detect) they are utter rubbish compared to this mast...

Struggling here!

Anyway, here's a score. Not a very good one.

OK I can't play this one. I hate it, sorry. 14980.

I'm missing something here, how do you actually "finish" the level?

EDIT: Oh ok, actually read the instructions.. let's have another go

Both are excellent games!

Also I love that font you've used on your website!

Finally got past level 3. Score 32275

I'm sure this never used to be this hard

Really struggling. Can't get past level 3 at all.

I remember this. Nice graphics but crazy game!

Finally!
