That's part of the reason as to why I posted here rather than just going ahead and creating the genres. This way everyone can contribute to the discussion.Gunness wrote:Perhaps we should make a general strategy for setting up new genres?

Re: Genre Suggestions
So should escapes from imprisonment and escapes from planets (which are usually a science fiction version of "stuck on island") be given their own genre tags? Also, should planet and island escape be put in the same genre?

Genre Suggestions
Here are a couple of genre ideas that I have had which may warrant some discussion.
The first is the "Stuck on island" genre. This genre describes games where the main theme is that you have to escape an island, but there are many games where you need to escape some confinement other than an island ...

Re: Spectrum Adventures
Zenobifan (and everyone else),
if you are moving on to a new game could you please start a new topic for that game so that we have one thread per adventure. Thanks.
(I will now attempt to insert the words "Ace in the Hole" into this thread's title, wish me luck!)

Re: Missing in Action
We can live in hope that they will eventually turn up. Who knows, perhaps someone going through this site will find that they own a game that is missing in action and then do the decent thing of creating an image of the game and send the image to the appropriate site.

Re: playing games on a mac
World of Spectrum lists some Spectrum emulators at http://www.worldofspectrum.org/emulators.html#mac. I have no idea which is best but your friend should go for a Spectrum emulator that can handle the TZX file format.

Re: What happened to Lantern of D'Gamma
Billy,
we know that the answer to the shaped buttons puzzle is BFGIL because Angus hacked the disk, the problem is that we never worked out why the answer is BFGIL.
The attached picture shows the problem.

Re: What happened to Lantern of D'Gamma
Billy,
how did you work out the solution to the shaped buttons puzzle? Is this one of those puzzles that requires additional material that comes in the game's box?

Re: Out of Date Emulator Links
Oricutron at http://code.google.com/p/oriculator/ is an Oric emulator. There are MS-Windows (32-bit), MacOS X, AmigaOS 4.x, and MorphOS binaries available, plus the source code so it should be possible to compile it for other OSes. Therefore this may be a better Oric emulator than EuphORIC ...
