No news after the message I left on Oric.org sadly.
But please do send me your questions, just incase. I had written a few ones too, I'd have to find them back, where can they be?

Re: John S. Sinclair on Oric.org
I tried sending John an email as someone else had a question for him, but it bounced.

Gentlemen, please send your questions, Mr. Sinclair just left his email address on oric.org
I'm really sad though, the questions I had written down for years about Xenon and Zorgon, were stolen in my bag last year. Can't recall much of them.

Re: John S. Sinclair on Oric.org
Don't have any particular questions but would be interesting to hear about the evolution of the Xenon series of games from Xenon 1, Zorgons' Revenge thru to Xenon III from both a general perspective as well as a technical one.
Re: John S. Sinclair on Oric.org
Same here
Zorgons was my first game in the Oric, and I found it amazing (though time has proven there was room for improvement in gameplay).
I am curious about how he faced a development such as this one, why the Oric, why not other platforms also, and what he did after these games.
And I'd love to give him a big THANKS for his games. Many many hours of fun I had with Zorgons. I finished it several times!

Re: John S. Sinclair on Oric.org
Is this an April 1st thing ?
He did tell me he wrote the Oric stuff on the BBC and ported it across. It might be interesting if we could find out more about that or if he has the software used to do it. The 'sprites' do look like Beeb graphics.
I think they original used Beebs and then moved to Oric because it had similar 6502 base.
