I just spotted this OTHER video about Damsel In Distress, along with Lone Raider, posted on another YouTube channel less than 24 hours ago. It's a long watch at almost an hour - haven't watched it yet but fully intend to today. Enjoy!

I think every level was equally ridiculous from my hazy memory of using the level-jump cheat. It didn't make the experience any more fun for me

I have dispatched the next game to John for review - Oricium. Should get a less annoyed result.

So a week or so ago I sent a load of Oric .tap files to John Gage to review. He replied that he gets lots of review requests so asked for just one, I chose Damsel 'cos I know how angry he gets at hard games and they don't come more difficult than Damsel! I haven't watched it yet but be warned, there...

Pretty sure Cricket was Alistair's first release under Mirage. If memory serves, it was graphically basic but my brother was quite addicted to the game.

No matter what you will find, it will probably struggle with at least one publisher, due to the large variance in azimuth and volume. Thanks for that pointer. An advantage then I have is that I mainly want (NEED!) the recorder to record and load my own stuff, so the publisher will be me :) Loading ...

I still have no cassette/data recorder :( Any that I find online either have horrendous reviews or lousy pictures/descriptions that don't include port/socket info. I have the lead connector from Cool Novelties - https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIC-1-ORIC-ATMOS-CASSETTE-TAPE-RECORDER-CABLE-LEADS/3217750328...

Dunno if it's been posted before (apologies if so) but there are LOADS of Oric game videos on this YouTube channel.

To clarify, has Krystal Worlds (1) been transferred to .tap yet? Would love to see it again. It sure was, remember! ;) http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1738&hilit=krystal&start=15#p16097 I would never have guessed it was already almost 3 years ago :shock: Wah! I compl...

I Quilled Krystal Worlds I but wrote KWII in 99%.9% BASIC / 0.01% machine code. Quite a different experience, having to create a parser n stuff. Good memories. Anyway, my point being that I still see sites listing KW2 as Quilled when it was not

Just played Tetrix for the first time in ages. Scored 160. Not bad. Not great.

I like it - a lot. Good work! I could easily see this playing in the background to a game and blowing the socks off the player. Out of interest, how much memory did it use? Would it be feasible as a game background, memory-wise?

Andre Widhani provided zero prior knowledge of Tetrix until it landed on my desk as a new game submission for Mirage. Quite the surprise out of the total blue and a brilliant game. Still, IMO, the most enjoyable version of the game on ANY system. Just found it funny that it arrived literally out of ...

The last few posts could well have been written in Latin for all I understood You guys techy-knowledge blows my mind and really puts me in my place. You're on another level.

From what I see, there are a few duds in tapes, but most are fine, what's recommended though is to first try to unpool them a bit manually to see if nothing is stuck, and if everything is fine, then put it in the drive and do a full unroll and then rollback to make sure all the band is nicely loose...
