  • Flip Screen vs ScrollingWhich do you prefer? I've always liked flip screen games but I had a C64(spit) owning friend who hated them with a passion.

    I still think that Trashman would have benefited from scrolling. The game didn't totally move up a whole screen when you exited (iirc) so you easily got disorientated.

  • Wrong in-game screenshot for Human Killing MachineThe in-game screenshot for Human Killing Machine has a strange yellow cast not present in the original game, which is black and white only.

    Nope, the screenshot is fine, you can change the colour in the game by pressing "c" :) Although I never realized until today that I tried the game again!
