No reason - I just wasn't sure who'd written it - the graphics, gameplay and presentation reminded of the Vortex games.
Also this game appears on a SU covertape along with a couple of Vortex game. -

It was a Qix clone, really fun game to play.
I remember it being on a YS covertape :) -
Dream WarriorThe mad scramble to reserve reviews for the Spectrum book reminded me of [url=http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0001518]this one[/url]…
I only played this when it was on a YS covertape (still got it!) but I could never get to grips with it properly so gave up after quite a short time. :( It certainly wasn't as bad as Explorer (on another YS covertape) though. -

Sequel to Earth Shaker released (beta)Hi everyone, 18 years later, I have released a beta of a sequel to my spectrum game 'Earth Shaker'. It is called 'World Shaker', is written in a ret…
Awesome. I loved Earth Shaker, always thought it was one of the best games to grace a YS covertape and I was always hoping you'd do a sequel. Better late than never :) (and nice to see another good game programmer on the forum) -

Action Replay compilationhi Invaders (Design Design) should be listed on this entry - it is mentioned on the inlay, after all. (it is also on the TZX) [url]ftp://ftp.worldof…
The compilation index has been corrected and a new in-game slide show created.
It also meant that Invaders first appeared in 1986 (on this compilation) rather than 1993 (on the YS covertape), so that was corrected as well. -

Any chance of a graph or chart showing that the covertape games were mainly crap?
Not that I want to twist the conclusion, mind ;)
Ideally four graphs or charts: YS, SU, CR, and all. -
