If you're only going to wear a wig and a couple of seashells instead of decent warm clothes - what do you expect 😇
Hope you feel better soon.

I think I'd start having a small panic attack if I had a migraine these days... not as young as I once was and haven't at points lived the healthiest of life styles... but I'd be wondering if it was "just" a migraine or panic it could be the start of a stroke or something... 😱

Migraines are definitely up there with tooth ache and back pain though :(
Thankfully not had one in ages now and they're not frequent... although they do really screw you up for a day/two.
Suffered from them terribly in my teens for some reason...
Hope you start to feel back to "normal" soon 🤞

I only ever got to play a Seymour Goes to Hollywood demo from a covertape (might have been YS). Wasn't terrible but definitely a constant feeling that Dizzy had let himself go a bit... 😀

It's at the link that @zxvintage.bsky.social included in their post... you can either download it and play it in an emulator or for a quick go play it on the spectrumcomputing directly...

I completed that game on the SNES - then lent my mate my cartridge and he overwrote my full game slot. Did it again - and that was fine. Fell into the trap of school mates telling me on one of the underwater levels there was another secret to discover...
