Cute game :) Nice gfx, gameplay and music.
Completed it on my Spectrum 128K and CRT monitor yesterday. I played with Sinclair joystick and it was really hard to select the questions. When I pushed the stick several times up, I could get to select question one and same with question 3. It is some kind of bug there I think. The keys to select questions did not work. The joystick works fine in the game.
Oh really. When I tested it the keys worked every time T for top, M for middle, B for bottom. T is joystick up, M is fire and B is joystick down nut I haven't tested that. Maybe try with the keyboard controls only and see if that is any better. If you can answer the questions easier then you will get a better U.R.A at the end of the game. If you have children or relatives with children you could ask them to play it. I made the game quite easy. Well easier than my other games so that children could have fun and education with it :D
Thanks! I got it. To me this is not so intuitive. It would be better when the alternatives came, move joystick up and down and press fire to select the answer. I also though that the letters there where the ones to use on the keyboard but it is the in game keys that work for selecting. When my daughter come to me next time we will play it together. I think it might be a little hard for her, even if the game is quite easy. At least the questions will be fun :)
I'm confused. Moving the joystick up and down and pressing fire to select the answer when they appear is how it should work. Also it is the letters next to the answer which you use on the keyboard to choose the correct answer. 'T' for top, 'M' for middle and 'B' for bottom. It's from a famous gameshow in the UK called Strike It Lucky. The only in game key is the 'M'. Left and Right in-game is 'Q' and 'W', these cannot work to select answers as I've assigned the other keys. I know for sure it works fine on keyboard as I tested it out today and it works as it always has. So I'm not sure what's happening with your version. How are you playing it? Emulation or real hardware, and if real hardware which mode of the Spectrum?
I think it has issues with +2. I remember someone mentioning another older game was not working correctly with their +2. Maybe try emulation and see if that works better as you can select the model. I think it's fine with a basic 128k machine. Not sure about +3. Unfortunately I believe it's an AGD problem so not much I can do to fix it.
