I was very intrigued by this game, and wondered if it would work on my Omni 128HQ Spectrum clone with divMMC built in.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t out of the box.

The Omni supports 128k machine code games, and the sound chip, but runs in “User 0” mode, leaving you with 48k BASIC only, so the game breaks when it utilizes the 128 RAM disk.

That said, I have been able to convert the game to leverage the SD storage of the divMMC and it works great.

As a bonus, when I enable the accelerator on the Omni, which doubles the clock speed, the pointer movement works much more fluidly.

I am play-testing it now, for the first time, and really getting into it, and will be sending you a donation.

In the meantime, if you want me to send you a copy of the esxDOS converted version, I would be only to glad to do so. Just let me know.

Hi Allan

Yes, I would like that version,and if you don't mind I would like it to be distributed on my itch page, and my page only (I'll reference your conversion).

As for a donation, I thank you, but I made these games with the intent for them to be free, and as such I don't even have any data on itch to allow for donations.

Maybe on James Sinclair... I'm working on it, but my time is reduced as I'm currently very busy in my professional life. Regardless that game will support the Next and the 128k +2A/+3 with the +3e ROM, and my original intent is in a scale way above Vice City Blues. 

Hi Mario,

What is the best way to get. this to you?

It will be a Zip file that will just need extracting onto the SD card by the user.

Just to reassure you, my thoughts were strictly for you to be able to make it available for esxDOS users from your itch page, so it was never my intention to do make it available to anyone myself. 

:-)

Do you have a tips page for the game?
I have a feeling I may need some help lol

I am really enjoying the game. Great work!

Warmest regards,

Alan
