the second one

Yes, but i am hoping to shrink the program to fit within 16k or 48k. the majority of the program is simple text with few choices. a few REM statements are peppered in for newbies and for extra info

i'm typing in a program from one of the magazines and was wondering if these should be typed: (clr) (space) (5 spaces) and so on any help would be appreciated. the type in is from Compute issue 56 Paratrooper for vic 20

why is the vic's character font so damned large?

I just released the Bioshock Demo for the 48k spectrum. The new version will have: *music *graphics (not in game, just border stuff) *bigger areas and enemies I hope the demo will suffice for now (go to my bioshock blog and look up Demo released) it's relatively short (much of the ram was used for the REM statements to help new players familiarize themselves with the game) most importantly, send me bug reports and i will fix the game if i can. I want constant feedback. I will release a 128 version sometime this year.

here is the demo in .bmp format New users, please read REM statements

so what do i do?

i am currently trying to make a text adventure version of Bioshock. unfortunately, using Inkey$ or the IF command leads to a hopeless loop. example: 26 input a$ 27 let a$=inkey$ 28 if a$="" then goto 31 (or if inkey$="" then goto 31 31 print "you step out of the Bathysphere and take the radio" 29 if inkey$<>="" (or if a$<>="") then goto 32 32 print "the splicer tears out your stomach":end simple right? no. upon inputting an answer, the game loops uselessly. the second option is all that can be selected with the first nowhere to be seen. please help

lucky! i'm so jealous

i am soothing my woes with a Madhouse run on re7 (crazy i know, but at least it's something i'm used too) tried Mega man 2 earlier and i want to find the developer for fire man's stage and...forget it, probably dead already.

ok, my bad. but as far as graphics and sound access, the Vic 20 stunk. i can understand for beginning to program though

Maybe it's me, but the Vic 20 is less of a "Wonder Computer" and more of a stop gap. Poke this, Poke that, no direct access to graphics or sound, The character set is woefully small and cramped and it didn't have a built in monitor. while i can understand some frugal people wanting to buy one to save money in 1980, you have to understand that a coco could give you graphics and sound at a better price, the TI-99/4A allows for easier editing and more ram (around 64k i think) or if you are in britain, the ZX Spectrum or BBC Micro is a much better choice. my opinion, however most assemblers are easy to use, but 3.5k ram is ridiculous

The problem with Nintendo's "Copyright claims" is that it's bullshit. they don't own Atari or Sega or anbody else.i could understand if Emuparadise hosted ONLY nintendo, but they don't. No reasonable person would support them after this move. I play emulated systems because Ebay's prices are absurd. a typical ZX Spectrum 128 is over $600! seriously, if i can't download a rom of a game or system that is no longer in circulation (Most of the Spectrum Library, Nintendo's own super mario bros nes trilogy) then i ought to be able to do so. They're being dicks. they were in the 90's and they are now

I'm switching to the ZX Spectrum. easier for me and it's a system i'm familiar with. Not putting the project on hold, just switching gears

any idea where i can find a USB NES controller?

that was hilarious. mom on the other hand is breaking down, like a 1929 auburn

I remember being able to make it through Track and field 1's fencing level no problem. Now, i can't even do a run properly without dying. Tetris is the exception. Tmnt, Friday the 13th, Star wars, the game doesn't matter, i can't beat it. I was 10 when i picked up an nes controller. any ideas? i am a 25 year old male who is deathly afraid of being labeled "old" or "casual"

now broadcasting Alien isolation, look for ss252 on twitch.com

for emulated runs yes

medal of honor 2010 comes with frontline

My twitch name is EpicMeatloaf, but i seem to have an issue. when i stream with OBS, the games lag and don't run correctly. any ideas?

two questions: #1 in the dinner scene, what is jack doing with the knife and how is ethan able to speak afterwards (Mold did it is not acceptable) #2 would ethan have been able to actually eat the mold, or would it kill him? would this have made a difference game play wise (would jack be non hostile)

i have an emulator for the Amstrad CPC, would that work? what about fuse?

nope, doesn't work
