On a Mac? ... You must have accidently hit ‘yes’ on the ‘turn on auto updates’. Yes, and yes, that's sounds like exactly what I did (wouldn't have been accidental, though, I would have thought it sounded like a wonderful idea!) Just saying that you can end up with the same situation on other OSs, i...

Also means you don't regularly turn on your computer only to have to wait 45 mins for the new "creative edition" or somesuch to install - even though you don't want it to! Mac OS X is unfortunately the same. Sure there WILL be an easy option where I can turn it off but haven't looked for it yet. La...

And with CSS you can (as I'm sure you know, just spelling it out for clarity) obviously have game_site.css and edu_site.css (or edu.bbcmicro.co.uk/assets/site.css and bbc.micro.co.uk/assets/site.css, etc., etc. whatever) and depending on which site you are viewing you get the appropriate styles for ...

I think having everything in the same database is powerful in a number of ways From my experience I'd definitely agree. One database, and then different views/skins/displays of it. So the game site has its own home page, and when you search it passes want_games flag or the appropriate genres/whatev...

Sounds good, John.

Any issues with the physical discs or all good so far ... or don't want to say in case it jinxes the rest?!

Sheesh, I've gone back three times now but you keep ignoring me and doing the same things again!

I've added this to my HUGE interesting-projects-to-look-at-one-day pile, so interested in seeing how it goes for you guys (sure you won't procrastinate as much as me.)

Saw this in the UK news.

RIP.

Need to get the book out to review that code :P Wish I knew what I was doing when I'm busy because I don't seem to achieve that much ... #-o :-k ](*,) :-({|= Today I received my new AP5 from Dave H (it looks nice and its very solid), but I'm too lazy to take a photo.

did replacing the capacitors get the colour back? sure did Mr. T, as said : good news, it back to colour Yep, I read that part but wasn't sure it was directly related to the capacitors or some other magic you did! :D I've got our old Radiofin somewhere, doubt that's worth anything either ... :( htt...

So did replacing the capacitors get the colour back?

If so

Back to work ...

Same here. And the Electron version. But in my case, not sure of "just in case" of what? A good book, though, one of the ones I used BITD to understand assembly (wouldn't say I ever mastered it!)

Eh? What's that supposed to mean, eh?



Played this BITD but can't remember much about it; will give it a whirl again soon.

Will be watching this one with interest.

Loved Rocket Raid BITD even though (as usual with games) I was never very good at it.

Colourful & noisy & sped along (but a bit flickery.)

Not bad, is it? I was off in Atari-STland by the time this one got released so I missed it BITD.

Almost got off level 1 but rolled the boulders the wrong way, and the final boulder was because of the reversed controls

Eh? Did someone call for me?

Urk, where has the time gone, decided I was going to participate in Season 9, so time for a quick go!

So why does the pictured leaflet have both names?

Was one meant to be torn off (the Commando one) leaving Space Invasion for the German market?

Nice to see the pictures.

Hope to manage to get to another show in the next year or two.

That's definitely one of the objectives of the High Score Challenge, I think - finding some gems you missed from BITD, or new games like Richard's Centipede. It's not all about winning.

You're not in marketing, are you? Well, I don't really know too much about the game -- although the person who sent it to me did mention that it made him "clinically insane". Ah, so it was marketing all along! :shock: Or was I meant to be looking at the date posted? :-k You've made some people happ...

Sounds like fun, but carving the time out of my day would be the hard part.

I'd add Mr Ee!/Mr Do to the list.

Sounds like a good plan. I have a Music 500 yet-to-be-connected as well ... another thing on my TODO list!

leenew ... not sure what he did to the leeold ...

Looks pretty good for a 20 quid machine.

I enjoyed skimming the adventure PDF, so thanks for that.

Must have taken them some effort to code for so many machines.

Not sure about "wise words" :shock: :D Another option is to try and beat one of the mainstream CMS projects into having a shop as well - pretty sure you can do that sort of thing with Wordpress, but never tried myself. I've talked to people who have, so it's doable. (But obviously you then get dragg...

I think this is a bit like the LAMP CMS options - no one option quite meets your every requirement 100%, so whatever one you choose ... there will be some customisation (or living with the cons because the pros are enough.) I've looked at the options (this was a few years ago) and Magento is always ...

Yes, thanks for sharing, and welcome!

So the first 20 screenshots will be blank?

That's a great-looking resource! Need an Acorn version of it ...

Got a couple of C64s under my bed ... or somewhere ... need to dust them off and remind myself which issue(s) they have!
