Fair enough. Lurkio it is then.

Just for the credits, does Lurkio have a real name? I'm sure I've got it somewhere, but it's quicker to ask.

Thanks for all the feedback on this. The version I had was the same as the version that Alex posted. It looks like this was for Basicode 1 and the version on the JavaScript interpreter web site is for Basicode 2. The lines that look like they're for the PC are Basicode code. I think it's safe to ass...

Hey Jim, I just read your blog about 'A Hos Lovag' where you were bemoaning the lack of a TRS-80 version of Frank DaCosta's 'Mazies and Crazies'. This appears to be an RPG of some sort, so I'm not surprised that no one's bothered with it. However, if you're interested in his adventure 'Basements and...

It's related to search engine optimisation. Underscores are removed and the words blend into one. For example, "game_name" becomes "gamename" and that word will not rate very highly. Whereas "game-name" becomes "game name" and that will rate highly. The plus sign has a special meaning to web apps wh...

Good point, but if you're serious about that, you shouldn't use '+' as a separator between words. You should use '-'. And you shouldn't use underscores '_' as a separator in filenames for screen grabs, maps and solutions. Once again, you should use hyphens '-'.

I just discovered another game that is subject to the slash bug. It's XIV/2. I can now see the issue. The game name is listed correctly, but the link to the game includes the slash in the game name and that looks like it's a separator between folders, hence the html page is not found. Why do you inc...

If I remember correctly, I still get this error from time to time, but it's erratic. The submission still goes through alright, so don't worry about it.

I don't remember where I got it, but here's a zip file with the BASIC code as a plain text file.

Hmm. I wonder if the Spectrum ZX version was actually a BASICode version, as the source code I've got is different to the BASICode version on the web site, but it has a lot of similarities,such as the comments. Perhaps it's an earlier version or something? I must try it.

Thanks for your help Gareth, as always. I think the remarks in the BASICode version are used to identify the game and provide some info (like modern-day meta data) when you list the game in the JavaScript BASICode interpreter. Even so, this is the BASICode version, not the original Spectrum ZX versi...

'De Tijdmachine' by Gerton A Lunter (in Dutch) is currently listed as being available for the BBC and the Spectrum ZX. I have the BBC version and BASIC source code for another version, but the other version is clearly not for the Spectrum ZX and I'm not sure what dialect of BASIC it is. Or maybe the...

Have you tried using a double slash (//)?

I haven't played it, so can't help. Note that Terri's solution is for the Spectrum version. I did an UnPaws on the Spectrum game and confirmed that Terri's solution to STICK PHOTO ON PASS is correct. On the Amstrad version, perhaps try synonyms for the verb and the preposition, e.g. STICK/GLUE/ATTAC...

In all fairness, Strident is trying to do the right thing and find physical evidence. It may well be that Dog Planet was Other Venture #5 for the TRS-80 and Saigon was Other Venture #5 for the Atari and Apple II. I bought it and played it on the Atari and we certainly referred to it as Other Venture...
