It will likely be in the 'Homebrew' section of the magazine which is near the back. The sampler you linked to just shows you the first 13 pages.polluks wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2017 1:53 amI couldn't find it https://issuu.com/FuturePublishing/docs/ret176.issuu

Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
I have no idea about the section (which should be Homebrew), but I can assure the review exists. This pic was posted in the Spectrum4Ever Facebook Group.
The author of the post stated he thought it was a Spectrum game, but alas... no. It was on the Oric Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
I managed to find a scan of the review which indeed was in Issue 176. I've added it to this post as an attachment.

Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
It is also a very nice review!
Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
Should I add the Sizzler badge on the webpage?
Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
I added the badge, as well as an extract of the review, and a note with the issue and page number.

Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
Its totally strange how, seeing an Oric game reviewed in a magazine, takes me way .. way .. back in time. What an accomplishment, congratulations!
Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
Yeah, it is great to see the Oric in today's magazines... when it was missing from them in its time

Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
Chema, you have done it again, this is a great game. And not only that, a great game that is unique to Oric.
Watched Blake'7 back when it first aired, and now, after playing this, I am going to binge watch all 4 seasons again.
After Space 1999, and this, what's next? Sapphire and Steel? Survivors?
I am in awe of what you are getting the humble Oric to do.

Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
Thanks for your kind words. I am glad that you liked the game, and to hear about others who also watched the series back then!
I am now going to take a small break, because I just don't know what I'll do next

Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
Did you mean "I am going to make tie break", a tennis game ?
Well I suppose there are plenty of ideas (or others suggestions), but enjoy the break. What an achievement watching back all the different kind of games you made
Re: Blake's 7 feedback and review thread
Not "Small break" = "being idle for months", but "Small break" = "Rest a bit from programming until I find a new idea or challenge for a new game"
I always take a small break between games.
But there is something that I have to do: work with DBug in the new version of the disk routines for FloppyBuilder!
I have a somewhat definite version of the routines supporting Atmos+Microdisc, Telestrat (not booting, that is not possible in the same disk, but a separate program or different disk image could be created) and Jasmin.
I know that you are now busy with the crazy idea of 4 orics generating the same picture, but when you have some time, we should have a look a this.
