Igor,
Wow wow wow wow WOW! This is *incredible*, definately the best JSW
rewrite I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot, considering some
of the others.
You've really caught the spirit of the Spectrum games you've
parodied, and the whole thing hangs together very well. You should
really post the game on alt.binaries.comp.sinclair for everyone to
download. Sadly, there may be one problem though; Is the following a
bug, I don't know:
(This *may* display part of the end sequence, so it's probably best
if anyone who wants to play the game properly and discover the ending
for themselves, doesn't read any further)
When you start the game, you start (of course) in the screen "ZX
Spectrum Heroes", walk/jump through the left wall, onto the screen
immediately to the left, "You've been lucky to enter the...". Work
your way through this screen, so that you exit the screen via the
right, on the ground. This takes you to the screen "... Eternal
secret passage". Work your way through this screen until you get to
the top platform, then walk all the way to the right and exit the
screen. Instead of taking you to a screen to the right of the one
you were just in ("...Eternal secret passage") you appear at the top
right hand corner of a screen called "Fr@me 01" and fall through a
few screens, until you come to a screen with no name, which
continually loops. I think this may be part of the ending sequence
(it does look very good) and if so, I can certainly see why you had
to sacrifice twenty-odd screens for this, and it seems well worth it.
Presumably though, the method of access I have mentioned is a bug?
Cheers, and thanks for such an awesome game!,
Carl.
