Denial

Recently I have been playing Bonking Barrels and Demon Star. I was wondering what other magazine type-in people have fond memories of?

My favourite game I ever typed in from a magazine was Space X, written by some Richard Clark. It appeared in September 1984 and it was the only issue of Commodore Horizon magazine I ever got, because my sister went to UK for an english as foreign language summer course.
It's for an unexpanded vic and I loved the graphics.

It mixes basic and ML and has a nice sideways scroll.

If I had to pick one game of my own "Unexpanded type-in Collection", ...

... I'd probably take "TRONN" as it was the first game I typed in from a magazine.

But each one of these 21 games has a story, which I put into the READ ME.

A game where you had to shoot a glass of beer falling off a bar top. The ASCII graphics were perfect.

Or maybe it was a snake game called 'Hissing Sid'. Great sounds, quick action.

I also loved type-ins in a book by Compute! - which I still have. A couple of years ago my daughter typed in 'Hidden Maze' and seemed to enjoy the experience.

For me it's probably Tank versus UFO. I can still remember the satisfaction when got it to run properly after having mananged to correct a few errors here and there BY MYSELF!

Mine fave was "Frog Run".

Can't remember which mag it was from (PCG?), but it was a very decent Frogger clone. Better than a lot of commercial games at the time.
