My name's Dave & I'm a huge fan of the #ZXSpectrum

There are two cheat codes listed for Pac-Mania on the Mega Drive. One offers an expanded level select, allowing you to choose any stage in the game. The other is listed everywhere as having an unknown effect - a noise plays when you enter the code, but the effect isn't clear. It's driving me crazy.

One thing I never took to was in-game shops. I never know what power ups or weapons to buy & it stresses me out.
Just have the things lying about, or have the baddies drop them when you defeat them or get random power ups by bashing a little goblin guy on the head or something.

George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" was released 55 years ago today.
Which means it's a good excuse to post one of my favourite songs of all time...

Sloane, America's Sexiest Superagent. 😎
A Man Called Sloane - late seventies Bond ripoff when Bond was already more or less ripping itself off as it was, featuring a blatant Tee-Hee tribute act and countless computers with big spools of tape, which changed entirely between pilot and series.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Today my really funky cassette storage rack from Ronnie Simpson arrived & I absolutely LOVE it! Such a cool little display case, can highly recommend
He doesn't seem to have a website or anything, but can be contacted on Facebook, dunno if the following link works:
