I’ve often thought that some of the Nine Inch Nails stuff is very SID chippy. Never gave it much more thought, but I have seen this from a Trent Reznor interview today. Influential, at least! ❤️

The loading times don’t annoy me like they used to decades ago. In a world that’s too fast, it’s nice to find yourself suddenly sitting and waiting for something that’s worth it.

I bought Thin Ice from Thalamus last night. Super fun action puzzler sort of thing. I would recommend it and it makes me think about doing CF reviews on the site again 🤔 That’s it, that’s the post. It’s a cool game .

🥔 A first encounter with Wild West Seymour tonight. A Speccy convo, but playable enough and packed with very meta charm (on level 1, you’re at the Codemasters office). If you wanna tackle it CF style, the full solution and maps are in issues 32 and 33 (May/June ‘93).

We were sent this intro from a Mayhem crack, which on booting reproduces Commodore Format art editor Ollie Alderton’s magazine advertisement for the game. It featured in both CF and Commodore Force.

Hi! If you’ve got a TheC64 Microswitch joystick or the Quickshot II that is TheC64 compatible and you’d be willing to sell me it, please let me know. Needs to be posted to a UK address.

Been playing Cyberdyne Warrior. It’s cool to see graphics and sound which hint at - and were sometimes refined for - the Rowlands brothers’ next game, Creatures. ❤️

Bart versus the Space Mutants is tough, and the time limit stops you exploring as much as you might. Which is a shame ‘cos it’s packed with humour and Easter eggs. You can use a coin to call Moe’s Tavern, for example. ❤️

This happened to my micro switch joystick for TheC64…anything worth doing to save it? It hasn’t snapped, just detached. Still works but keeps falling off.

18 months later Hulk was back - the first character to appear on a CF cover more than once (the only other one’s Mayhem!).

“There’ll never be Sonic for C64”, the mags told disappointed letter writers in 1991. Pah! A mere 30 year wait sure put egg on their faces, eh?

What’s an unusual or funny cheat mode you remember? On Monty Python’s Flying Circus, you can get infinite lives by entering ANNE CHARLESTON. on the high score table (remember the space and full stop!)

Stuntman Seymour is another ‘90s Codies game using the CJ platform engine. It isn’t as good and the gameplay doesn’t develop from the first screen but it’s good natured, easy-going fun. Nice to relax with.
