If you were to watch the Aliens franchise movies, would that include the Alien Vs Predator films ? And if so, would you then also have to watch the Predator films as well ?

Wish I could sacrifice a sprite for tokens. Just imagine, 1 8x8 sprite could give you an additional 64 tokens ! One can dream though.

This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).

Woohoo ! When I'm happy with my map data I can crunch it down from a whopping 1120 tokens, to a rather impressive 160 :) Now that's a saving I'm happy with. Still occupies 15.1Kb of actual chars tho :(

I live in the UK. Its a shit hole. Its going to pot. The place is a mess and the government is shockingly bad. I'd say it could well be one of the worst places on the planet. But look on the bright side, at least I don't live in America.

Blimey. Looking back over some of the WIPs I've let slip is a shame. Some of those games looked bloody gorgeous. Games like Zaxxon and BankPanic! and Gyruss and Wizadore and 1942 plus many many more. All well into development. I really should sit down and finish at least one of them ;)
