  • Hawl, we're on the Night ShiftIs it just me, or is it impossible for Night Shift (LucusFilm Games) to load on a 128k machine? My original copy doesn't work and even trying the TZ…

    I can get it running on 128k in Spectaculator using the tzx. Takes a wee while to load though. You get nice music on 128k and all the levels load in one go so you don't have to mess around with multi-loading like you do in 48k.

    It's going to run in 48K, but the sound will be limited because I'm having to spend a lot of time drawing sprites & doing A.I. (etc), and so really in-game music is out unless you have 128K (and I find somebody to write it!)
