Not entirely true.

We have a shortage of bison in NW London.

I had to make do with police horses (which is bloody difficult to do without getting nicked).

Cheers, I wrote that

I really like the game though because of the music. If you play it perfectly you know exactly where you are in any particular level just by listening to tune, the gameplay and music interact really well.

Armalyte, on the other hand, was the duck's nuts.

Yeah indeed.

And what was there on the speccy in this genre that come even slightly close? nothing

No, no, a billion times - no. "Technical superiority" has nothing to do with it. It's the quality of the games that counts and I genuinely believe that the Spectrum beats the C64 easily in that area (forget fucking attribute clash or SID chips or whatever - I'm talking about how good the games actually *are*). You give me a so-called classic exclusive-to-C64 game and I'll give you a much better exclusive-to-Spectrum game.

Go on. I dare ya...

Iridis Alpha. Ya cahnt.

Kind of like an 8-bit Rez. Or not

I adore Iridis Alpha (still crap at it, mind) - one of only 2 C64 games I still play regularly via emulators (Paradroid being the other). Part of me wants a fully updated remake. The rest of me is pretty sure I couldn't cope with it. Would be fun trying though...

Don't be stupid the C64 is bloody miles better than a Spectrum.

No fucking way?!

The Mix-E-Load is just one of the best things ever on the C64. Jesus
I'd spend ages playing with that.

I'm literally going to put a hat on now just to take it off to you.

Done.

In a bizarre effort to try and drag his thread back on topic, my writing pen is loaded and I am ready to pounce. I've done a wee bit of writing for the new Monkey DVD boxed sets this week and it's gotten me in the mood. Hoorah!

I'll be doing a "Why I Love" piece. Expect it by close of work* tomorrow.

I quite liked Zynaps.

And Chronos...
