Whilst making W vs B I was running through the game data read as graphics, and discovered some random room data which looked like mutations of the robot that appears in Under The Drive. I copied them into the sprite table and used them in several rooms. I think I called them bubble machines or something because of something I did to their "heads". It's amazing what you can find just by viewing the data in

an unusual way.

Yes, or by *editing* the data
in an unorthodox way! For example, JSW CK Part II
lets you view rooms as sprite pages and edit them
using the 16x16 sprite editor, which I occasionally use
to fix a screen layout without resetting the
Spectrum and loading Part I! ;-)
