The lack of games on QL was always a source of much frustration, Whilst the QL
quickly became a
hobbyists dream with Languages and disk drives etc, I just wanted Bandersnatch
or whatever that
mythical IMAGINE secret game was.
One of the first games I played on PC was the traditional Start Tre

show how good games could look on the QL.

BombJack was a great Arcade game which was converted to many systems, C64, C16,
Atari ST, Amiga, Spectrum, MSX, Amstrad CPC. Just uploaded the converted

There's ELITE for the QL!
Well not the complete game but at least a demo written in assembler by Dave

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 have

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 that
Hi all,
I had a game idea back in the 80s. I feel like it might be a good followup

a fixed point
