Pssst and Sinclair joystickIs there a version of Pssst which allows to use Sinclair joystick (Interface 2)? Or is it possible to add Sinclair joystick control to this game?
Not only that; it also appear when an enemy dies. In any event, I can’t reproduce this when the game is loaded in 48 BASIC mode; only in 128 BASIC mode. Either ZXSpin is misbehaving, or perhaps you’re not loading it the way you think you do. -

Oh, you may want to redownload the game from the same page. I now fixed it so that it runs in 128 BASIC mode without any additional song and dance.

Far enough, I never much used 128 basic myself, not coming in contact with one until the early 90s. Most of my basic coding was done on the Oric which didn't use keyword entry, so I could never quite get used to doing it on the 48k Speccy. -
