It's wonderful that you offer that. I'm in Texas, USA and I'm told by RWAP
that shipping a QL from England is over 50 ukp. I couldn't ask you to do
that.

I seem to recall having a roll of MAX232s around here somewhere. I also
recall having 25 or so of the hard-to-find Altera CPLDs in a tray, a box of
the QL connectors (I don't remember M or F) and assortments of other SMD
components and etc. These were bought for Nasta's aborted Goldfire project.
Hi all,
Is it that there's no interest in this kind of a graphical game? Or is
anyone interested, but didn't say so?
Anyone have any other game ideas?
I'm fairly confident I can write one fair to decent game per month for the
next six months. I'm sure they'll improve greatly in quality over
Heh . talk about bad luck. Build 13 and the completion of the
drive_capacity call, which establishes the true physical size of a drive
(this was previously hard coded, as the USBWiz module cannot return media
size information unless it has mounted a FAT file system). And that's when

Here are two fun weird things I like about SBASIC. Maybe others on this list

1. the MISTake keyword.
If you load a BASIC program that contains an error that would normally
provoke a bad line response, it inserts the word MISTake, to indicate
that the line will

Dave,
I think that there is interest in more games for the QL, but the game
idea has probably not enthused many people, as it sounds too simplistic
- a bit like the old lunar landing types of games that formed the basis
of many a magazine listing in the early 80s.
I would direct you to

Hi,
I've just been looking at a nice little 'barebones PC' that will be used
in a research project. Fitted with a hard disc with XP and QPC2 it
should make a nice replacement QL. QPC2 may even work with the open
source ReactOS.

Hey, BombJack. Was that a port of Checkman? I wrote a version for the
spectrum in basic using the scroll command. A very good game!

Atari ST, Amiga, Spectrum, MSX, Amstrad CPC. Just uploaded the converted
Not the game I was thinking of, but looking at those pics brought back

show how good games could look on the QL.
