Would be awesome to see you finish this thing!

[RedThunder]

Let all have a go at the Level 19 - Solar Power Generator with the level select option.

 

Never played it in 1983... may as well try now. 🙂

[McKong]

Yeah i started practising solar generator. I've got a solution but it's not easy. I've completed it a few times

[McKong]

57535 Finished it. There's an irritating bug that sometimes happens. When you enter Skylab you immediately lose all your remaining lives, which is how this go ended. Anyway I'm happy that I've finished it. I can put that with Jet Set Willy as completed the pair. I lay down the challenge to anyone else who cares to try!

Improved on O'Riley's Mine to 3,907,500 level 28

 

final tables next... if the increasingly insane Manic Miner theme music doesn't drive me crazy as my partner has left it on after her first go in years (she played it as a kid on the Speccy!) - [attract mode shows all the screens]

[+therealbountybob]

OK that's it, thanks for playing all. Some good games here, the new HSC version of ORM is much better

I would have liked even more time for this round so more to look forward to in the catch-up !

McKong crushed it and completed Manic Miner bagging a couple of bonus points and the win for the round

I'll play the other games if we have a catch-up round. I spent all my time trying to complete Manic Miner!
