Thanks Kweepa for a great VIC adventure! About the bugs *Spoiler Alert*: 1. When you examine the intact pod, the description is unchanged (i.e. "Pieces of..."). 2. Sometimes things put in the convex device seem to disappear, i.e. description says: "...(which is empty)", but they ...

Now I know I have to play Blue Star (one of Kweepa's other games)

... all in all, a bit easier (I suspect). I take that back. I am utterly stuck! My first text adventure was Time Machine. It was very much a guess-the-verb type of adventure and therefore the total opposite of Cometfall, which instead seems to be exclusively based on certain mechanics that the user...

I have had another go and got far 8) As the prose is much more elaborate than in The Count, my first thought was that it would be a less complex and more linear adventure - but not so. It is actually quite similar in some respects to the Count. No inventory juggling though and, all in all, a bit eas...

I am sure many already know this, but he has continued to cover Commodore and VIC lately.

There was a new video up yesterday.

Very enjoyable

I played It Came From The Grave last year's Halloween. I have not compared them side by side, but from memory this new version looks graphically much richer. Mind you, it was already a very stylish and good looking game before. The title screen looks great and the two different Game Over screens are...

It´s SF alright! Still have no clue what "persparent" is supposed to mean. :D My only gripe was that it does not use the four-letter style of Scott Adams' games (and most other VIC adventures) so I had to (mis)spell out e-x-a-m-i-n-e a hundred times. I later learned about the 'x' shortcut ...

Being much more a horror fan than a SF-fan, I fear I will have a much harder time visualizing the world of Cometfall compared to The Count. I’ll probably have to look up quite a few words too. But that’s OK! I do appreciate good SF. I guess the name Cometfall somewhat alludes to Planetfall & Sta...

I hope you are still able to find the time to finish it.

Then I will at least find the time to play it
The time to finish it I probably cannot even hope for.

I certainly don't mind playing a text adventure. I planned to try several after The Count, but of course I haven't

I would also like to hear suggestions from others.

Those Bruce Lee sprites... The Ninja
Much improved to the C64-sprites.

Looks like I got a bit addicted to "shitty" Race Fun :wink: 2118 racefun2118.png NitroWheels (just released) is the game I want Race Fun to be. Definitely give NitroWheels a try :) Yeah, I tried it and it plays much better that Race Fun, thanks to wider road, smoother movements and zig-zag...

I certainly did not see this coming! I am actually more of an Exploding Fist-kind of a guy but will be very interested in how this turn out.

On to Road Race and Race Fun... There were two other guys in my class that had a VIC but they were not really into games (and I traded games with other guys). However, they were both into cars (in the 12-year-old kid way), so one of them bought Road Race and the other bought Race Fun (and those were...

I also had a very quick go at Tammerfors. Wow, the game Race "Fun" should have been! Background that whizes by at breakneck speed but opponents that actually drive forwards at good and smoothly varied speeds. Should have had better crashes though!
