Pud Pud loader. a Joffa homage/memoriam
coming up on 2 years now since his death.
I was inspired by something I read on this forum to do this screen as an homage/in memoriam to a guy you all respected.
Obviously it was his first game and didn't get the "Dave Thorpe" treatment it should have done.
So here is my humble attempt to redress the balance.
The image is based on Bob Wakelin's cover art and Joffa's original game art.
Regards,
Steve

Can you make it available for us all please (if it's not denied)?
well tbh I've just reversed engineered the png piccy and if STE'86 says it's ok (and I can pinch the original scr) then I can do a fresh one and put it up if it's ok with him (the game isn't denied)
OK with Ste? Just ask GIGATRON! :-o
however the source PNG file can be loaded into Seven UP and saved as an SCR if you want to do it that way.
I noticed your conversion app hasn't picked out the half bright attributes and seven up will.
Steve
no probs will do it in a min (sent mail and pm but hadn't seen this reply!)
:smile:
it was your sig that inspired me to do the screen. so its quite fitting that you upload it.

Thanks again to STE'86 for producing this brilliant loader and allowing me to put it up
:smile:
I hope someone remembers to upload this screen to WoS. Although not an original screen, this kind of material can be preserved under "Additional material" (exactly like it was done for AOTMZFECFM screen before finding out it was actually original).
That's great mate, thanks. And thanks to you Ste'86 (brilliant piece of work on your part), and welcome to WOS! Any fan of any 8-bit machines is always welcome here, though we tend to go off topic more than we discuss whatever is in the thread title!
zipped the game, pictures and uploaded I just love watching it load superb screen$
I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

I never played PudPud back in the day but same image is etched in my mind from the adverts in Crash.
