I coded Commodore 64 games in the 1980s, 1990s and the 2020s. And plenty of other stuff in between.
Yeah, I don't think we thought of it at the time. People loved the level 64 Easter egg though. Maybe for M&M2 ;)

Cheers. It was a fun game to work on. We had the arcade cab in the office but even then none of us got very good at it. A rock hard game.

I like the Wilmslow Half if you're near there. Nice flattish route and a good atmosphere. It being my PB course helps!

Ha, thought you’d bought that one!

Cheers. Took 35 years of practice but I got good at coding C64 games. ;)

I’ve been working on a big piece of code this week. This has been my mind every night. Wouldn’t have it any other way though.

Never heard of Landlord Dark. One of my first pints in a pub was Landlord and I've loved cask ever since. I'll still buy a pint if it's on somewhere. That was in the Queen's Arms behind Cheetham Hill Road in Manchester. It was a lovely pub in the 80s. Since shut down after a machete attack I read.

It makes the game much more user friendly. And it allowed Chun to design levels with rewind in mind. You can play them bit by bit. Occasionally people don't rewind enough and get stuck for an age. Level 45 is a good example of this. Your very first move can get you into an unwinnable situation.

We came through the other day. About 50 minutes from landing to out. Taxiing to the stand takes while. The walk to passport control is far but (UK citizen) it's often quite quick to get through. The luggage is always the hold-up in my experience, I've waited over an hour for cases in the past.

Thanks. This is the one at Arcade Club. Fun game and even included Nancy. Good job it’s free play at AC though, it’d take some money otherwise.

Is this a home sequel rather than an arcade conversion? Pretty sure they have Chase HQ 2 at Arcade Club in Bury and it’s a really great PS1 era 3D game.

I did start it a while back.

Smashing. Think they need to hit rewind there, they’re stuck.
