WOO-HOO! :D
Another game to add to my
growing backlog of JSW games to type into my real
Spectrum! (At the rate I'm going, when I'm thirty, I'll be
the only person in a nursing home
flirting...)
I'm currently typing in where's woody (TITLE.JS7
done; RTIME.JS2 will be finished and GRACE.TUN done
this week; then in April and May I'll type in the
rooms! :-) ). Then in June it'll be Willy's Flashback,
so I guess strangel has booked itself for
July/August/September! (If I don't have to put the whole thing on hold,
with my PhD deadline being 30th September - sadly, I
will be losing access to the Internet after that, BTW
:-( ).
I have completed willy to the rescue on
my real Spectrum (with infinite lives as the only
cheat), with a time of 12:51am! (in JSW time, pm begins
at 1 o'clock rather than 12 noon). I made a lot of
fruitless peregrinations due to unfamiliarity with the
geography of wttr, and a number of one-way exits (to say
nothing of three failed attempts due to infinite-death
scenarios - namely falling the wrong way down "i wonder
what's down there", one careless jump into a room (left
from "headz"), and the very unfair IDS if you go down
from "i wanna see you get down" the wrong
way).
I'm really looking forward to death tv! :-)
:-)
