Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Quit drinking, start exercising and eating better, loose weight.

I've already stopped the drinking(nothing for a week now), but that was quite hard to do, which was why I scheduled it for the Christmas holidays, where I would have the free time and no call-outs, in which to force myself off that and suffer through the few days of withdrawal.  Seems to be working so far.

Drinking water instead.

Cut my food portions in half, but it will take a few weeks I guess, before I see the weight starting to drop, but I was so sick of my ever-growing beer-gut, that in 2024, it has to go.  Me and my mates all refer to our overweight belly's as our "Man babies"

Darn it. I was curious to see how the flash would handle the Van-Allen Belt...Allegedly not a problem for the old core-store

I guess Vegipete has started already using Martin's sprites.
Chucky I never played in the 80's so I have no warm feelings for the game.
I spend more time playng Digger, but mainly adventures like Zork and Spellcasting 101.

Happy New Year folks,

I *may* be less Manic this year (and I'll leave the Mining to my granddad) as I expect to be even busier in the-day job and have just started playing a modern videogame for the first time in ~5 years (Baldur's Gate 3). Other than that expect more shilling of the Game*Mite .

Best wishes,

Tom

The one that could be done using the 3D commands is Elite. The models are available but use a different format to modern 3D syntax and would need converting. I've looked at this but can't see an easy way of automating it.

I'm gonna try not buying stuff when I'm pissed :)
It looks a bargain at the time ... sometimes is, sometimes not.

Elite was just a text trading game with some line 3d graphics. It came out on zx spectrum and better than bbc imho.
BattleZone with 3d line stuff was my favourite then.
edit what's draw3d for pico? I got a bouncing ball demo.
