    Ok well I hope I'm not jumping the gun but in my enthusiasm to play the Sick Filth that is Soft and Cuddly, I dusted off the Spectrum, tried to remember how to use the divide, and a mere matter of about 40 minutes later I had Soft and Cuddly up and running.

    pite the fact that the creator is obviously something of a tool, this game is actually quite funny. See, for example, the start screen, the suggested keys to use and the blurb along the bottom.

    It's basically a gruesome and genuinely disturbing Kokotoni Wilf style trap-Fest. There are many humorously annoying and unfair deaths and numerous hideous graphics. Everything seems to sap your energy, including walking on things (but you can't judge which ones will hurt you (you seem to be fine on skulls for example), banging your head on pixel thin spikes, entering a flick screen only to be placed directly in a wall.

    So far it has been fun to explore - although I've accomplished nothing other than knowing where a few unfair deaths are. Still - it has that nostalgic Jet Set Willy feel, only far more twisted and ineptly programmed. I like it!

    it's a clumsy mix between jet set willy and jet pac programmed by a sociopath with homicidal tendencies.

    I've tried to contact Jones a few times, but obviously his name doesn't make it easy. I'd love to see just how mad he really is :D even after all these years.

    He probably ended up in the civil service, or became an accountant lol

    I am going to try the game now, on the emulator. Through the week I'll play it on my rubber keys. :-P

    Didn't you read the interview with Jones? It's actually the best game ever programmed by a genius.

    I've wandered around quite a few screens but don't seem to be getting anywhere. Am dying rather a lot. There are some moving barriers that seem impossible to get past.

    And I still keep getting hit by that bloomin' anvil. Should have learnt by now.. :roll:

    Press I 3 times per life to become "intangible" so you can get through... and so the "genius" didn't have to properly play test his game!
  • I'd like to change my vote. This game's crap!

    Difficult to wandering around this surrealistic crazyness.

    According to the map, the fridge (where you have to take the keys) are down, left.

    http://maps.speccy.cz/map.php?id=SoftCuddly&sort=4&part=11&ath=

    I've found no keys nor body parts, and can't reach the fridge. Lovely game! :razz:

    Same here, but I will try some more. Now I understand why I never heard about this game before.
    However, I think I played another game of the same author at the days.

    I can't get along with this. It's all cheap 8-bit "horror" aesthetics and very little game.

    Me too.

    I thought there may be a game hidden in there somewhere but I haven't found it.

    Aww, it's the best game this club has had in ages, and yet I've just not got enough time to give it another go. Better than it's predesessor by a smidgen. It's going on my, "Games I should be playing this holiday" list.

    To think, people wanted to ban it for its horrific content and saw it as the epitomy of violence in computer games. :D

    I've always loved it.

    I think you should do a double whammy :D

    3 games for the naughty.

    3 games for the nice.

    Let the people judge which category to put themselves in ;)
    Every night is curry night!

    And if both games are carp, there's always a bottle of whisky and the Eastenders Christmas special.

    as we all know i use a random buttom to choose, and technically in the terms of hard physics, randomness is highly influenced by positive thought.

    so maybe you need more self love. :D
