Considering the audience for this, I give it less than a week until there's a version of chaos where everything has a big cock.

The greatest game on any system, of all time, is Chaos on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. That's just scientific fact. And tonight, I've released a web-browser-based editor for it. Phew.
Edit the graphics of Chaos in your web browser. And spell data. And loads of other things.

This isn’t true. The 18 yo in question, Arion Kurtaj, has already been released from the hospital and is awaiting trial on his 12 felony indictments for computer hacking, blackmail, and fraud. Rockstar had nothing to do with the hospital order; his legal team requested the competence evaluation.

I always knew @chinnyvision.bsky.social would one day reveal his true identity but did not expect it to be on Lady Decade's channel. And for him to have played Top Hat Gaming Man all this time is such a jaw dropper.

Those familiar with 1990s consoles know that the entire world is split into three areas. * USA * Europe * Japan That's it, the rest of the world does not exist. FACT. Don't argue. I have been to the first two, never been to the last one until now. Of course I'm filming the retrogaming delights...

I wonder if @jk2447.bsky.social would like to comment on the huge discrepancy on his retrogaming YouTube channel's subscriber growth and the actual hours watched. It does seem like a 'bought audience', if you know what I mean. Over to you, James, if you'd like to tell us what's going on.

Some Your Sinclair cover artwork was pretty good, so I picked one at random to 'replace' the game's original inlay. Um, well, this one wasn't a good example, I think the original wins out.

Following on from a look at the Spectrum magazines that flung out "10/10" ratings in questionable circumstances, I delved into the "5/5" ratings. Again, Sinclair User is flinging them out... at things like Jail Break and Molecule Man! spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewt...
Sinclair User's review of Jail Break on the ZX Spectrum by Konami.
Label: Konami
Author: In-house
Price: £7.95
Joystick: various
Memory: 48K/128K
Reviewer: Graham Taylor


Graphically the game looks good. Fair sized sprites for cop and convicts, goodish background detail, smooth movement (mostly).

Bad points? Well the screen scroll is very jerky and sometimes you bite the dust for reasons that do not seem entirely fair - just passing within feet of a convict sometimes kills you and generally there is something peculiar about the perspectives.

Jail Break is a good start for Konami. A better than average conversion that tops the mindless violence league for the year so far.
REVIEW BY: Graham Taylor

Overall	5/5
Summary: Good adaption of the original arcade game, compulsive and frenzied. Good start for Konami's DIY approach.
