    I can (could actually) program fairly well in BASIC. My knowledge in MC isn't too bad, and I have used some of it in my programs, but I don't have that much expertise so as to knock up a complete game.

    Why two versions? One Version with options (selectable) Novice/Expert/Guru could be fine too. To be honest, I'm a bit lazy too, that's why I do most stuff in a game in Basic. But I still like to have full control over my created game.

  • Over the hill?Seem to recall a rock group management game with the above title, anyone remember it or know where I can get it?

    Could you remember some other details? Was it a simple simulation written in BASIC, or a more complex game? Any hints about the developer/publisher? About the time of release?

  • Over the hill?Seem to recall a rock group management game with the above title, anyone remember it or know where I can get it?

    It wasn't just written in basic, a little bit more sophisticated, but I don't remember the publishers name or much more detail. I borrowed it from a mate & I think it was on a pirate tape but I can't be sure.
