Does anybody know in which issue of Spectrum Vilag was this map published?

    You know, if Pavero hadn't posted that question, and I hadn't posted that answer, and you hadn't posted that comment, I would most probably never have discovered an uncut French import boxed set complete series of ALF on Amazon.

    How so, you might ask?

    (Thinks)
    "Hmmm, that comment deserves an incisively apposite movie quote in reply."
    (Looks through collection of quotes from various sources)
    Unfortunately, there is a paucity of particularly pertinent paragraphs.
    (Thinks - after not having thought of him for a few years)
    "Hmmm, ALF had loads of witty rejoinders, I'll check out some of those."
    (Spends half an hour browsing through ALF quotes and remembering the episodes, the voices, the inflections and pauses to produce the perfect timing for each gag - you don't get the same effect on the printed page.)
    (Thinks)
    "Hmmm, some of them I don't recognise. They must be from seasons 3 & 4, which were never broadcast in the UK."
    (Thinks)
    "Hmmm, I wonder if anyone ever released the uncut episodes, rather than those bowdlerised syndicated versions foisted on unsuspecting fans by those [expletive deleted] at Lion's Gate ten years ago?"
    (Thinks)
    "Hmmm, I've heard that there's a company called Amazon which sells the odd DVD. Maybe by some remotely improbable fluke they'll have an uncut French import boxed set complete series of ALF that includes a cuddly toy?"
    (The rest is history ...)

    sounds like a result to me....

    although I personally prefer Black-Adder for spurious pun's and put downs =)


    which lead to this search on amazon.........

    The best being :

    Believe me, eternity in the company of Beelzebub and all his hellish instruments of death will be a picnic compared to five minutes with me and this pencil if we can't replace this dictionary.

    There should have been a spectrum Blackadder adventure... pass the PAW

    A bit of a problem, that - and the Tipshop POKEs don't help all that much, as they give infy lives whereas what's really needed for completing the map is invulnerability, otherwise you get fried a million times trying to jump over things. I'll see if I can work out a "no frying tonight" POKE. IIRC I did one for Alien 8 ages ago, which worked, but I couldn't pick up anything when it was active!

    There an unofficial one, sort of, Slack Bladder.

    It was recovered a few years ago. You play as Richard II ('Rik'; son of Edward, the Black Prince).

    Actually, there's not much to the Super Hero map legend. There are four numbered rooms, containing: 1-bag, 2-boots, 3-helmet, 4-hammer; and all the lettered rooms in pairs are teleport locations, A<->A, etc.

    Yep, I have already found the same thing too.

    Surely he can only qualify for that if he can find this thread in 18months time when somebody asks a similarly phrased question?
