I did it!!! My first ever Spectrum game!

[daveysloan]

Ok, it's super basic, but I did it! I'm completely stoked, what a great use of a sunny bank holiday weekend.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the discussions I've been able to read through & everyone who's done really helpful tutorials.

Jonathan Cauldwell deserves a knighthood for services to the Speccy community!

This is something I've wanted to do for almost 4 decades now & best of all I've played the TAP file through PlayZX on a real spectrum & it works!!!

It's only 4 levels long & I'm sure I'll go back & tweak it with all sorts of bells & whistles, but in the meantime enjoy!!

Manic Mulholland

The events portrayed in this game are all true. The names are real names of real people and real organizations

The year is 199X and with just one week to go before his history assignment is due, Mulholland has decided to embark upon a 72 hour Final Fantasy VII session to clear his mind. Upon completing his quest however he has fallen into the sleep of the century.

Your mission is to guide him through his nightmare four day sleep and wake him in time to complete his assignment. The fate of future generations of history students is in your hands, good luck... you’ll need it!!!

Congrats!! Well done indeed. That's a great achievement!

I've just had a couple of games and it's really good and I'm rubbish at it. I've not beaten level 1 yet but I'll keep trying.
I think your graphics are really nice. I keep dying on the upper right bit with the two faces going up/down. I just can't get the timing right ..yet

You should be proud. I've been wanting to make even a simple 1-2 level game with AGD for several years now but I totally fail each time I try so I know how much of a struggle it can be.

oh and I love your character, the C5 is a superb touch!

Wow, thank you. I can't believe someone else has played a game I made. What a time to be alive. 😃

I'd definitely recommend having another crack at making a game, the MPAGD is a really powerful tool & Bruce's tutorials are super helpful.

Well done! I hope there is more to come

[roolandoo]

Congratulations !! And by the way, I have tried it and it is very entertaining !!

Well done, after the first one we always want more... is the Development addiction.

I've revisited the game, added a few more levels & effects & things & I think I'm pretty much done.

I've set up a website too, something I've not done since the Geocities days of the 90s.
