Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.
That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.
The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.
The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.
It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.
If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.
Juan.
It was written during the summer of 1986. I was living at my Grandmother's house at the time. I had a small room upstairs at the back of the house. I can remember the distant sound of the factories through the open window combined with the soft rustle of the leaves of the trees that lined both sides of the "backings" outside. Many hours were spent attending to the graphics for the game - of course in those days on a small black and white portable TV. Fond memories...
Great find, and a great game this, classic oldschool, and a very timely release regarding the coronation! I just completed it with 240/250. Thanks for the game. Now to get back to it and see where those 10 points went...
Must be the number of turns. I just did a quick run through and scored the full 250. I love that the game starts with the classic "GET LAMP" by the way...
:)
Thanks
Thanks to all that have downloaded so far - I hope it takes you back to the old days :)
@Frankster - we've been playing this over on the SC forum. Any chance you could give us a bit of background on this - from original coding, attempted release (?), to recovery 37 years later?
