Happiness is...

....completing an old Spectrum game for the first time ever.

And that game tonight for me was Back To Skool.

Still prefer Skool Daze, though

    Although not a Speccy game, I managed to finish Dead Space on the PS3 tonite.

    A fairly generic Sci-Fi ending although the "very last" bit caught me out and got my heart going!!!

    awesome ending. better than any hollywood film.


    never finished skooldaze, one day though.

    i enjoyed finishing dizzy, the boss was a nightmare though, couldn't have done it without save states.

    Yes, they are happy days indeed. My recent (early last year I think) completion of Bugaboo was such a momentous occasion, that I went to see my mum and dad to tell them. Mum was especially happy, as she'd been worried about that poor flea since we bought the game in 1983. I may give cracking Skool Daze a go later on in the year. Valhalla is on my list too.

    Is a warm gun (bang bang, shoot shoot)

    Unfortunately, I've never even completed the first Skool Daze. It wasn't till relatively recently I knew what you were supposed to do, back in the 80s, my copy of Skool Daze was on a C90 tape with no instructions :-) I found out you could break the shields, and get letters out of the teachers (which I guessed were for the safe) but never knew the bit about Mr. Creak.

    Recently I *almost* completed it, but got 10,000 lines with one shield remaining!

    Only managed to complete Skool Daze one, was disappointed to find it just looped around again rather than end.

    Ok ... for those of us who will never play the game (probably) and don't care if you give away the ending (no, really, I don't care) ... please tell us the ending via the [noparse]
    Spoiler:
    [/noparse] tags ... pretty please.

    Ok, fair enough ... I get your Sixth Sense analogy ... plus that just makes it more interesting to play ... if I ever do get to play it, that is.

    hardly thought up by them though, i've seen that sort of ending in many horror films.

    I seem to keep re-playing Back To Skool for some reason. Just finished it with only 300 lines on the clock, and when you loop back to the beginning, you can kiss Hayley again, so in theory I could loop 33 times if I so wanted.

    I could, you know.
