Glad it helped. What would be easier would be an alternative version of the QXL.win file to download with a selection of games as microdrive and floppy images pre-loaded in a single folder and a program to select and run them. Then all you need to do to add a new one is just drop it into the games folder.  Just like you do with the Next itself. 

I have my win1_ set up like this. Maybe I can tidy it up and make it available for download. 

Spectrum Next version just updated to version N2.1

1) Some cosmetic text formatting changes

2) Better "hand holding" to make it harder for the player to get stuck in an unwinnable positon

3) Some silly little bugs identified and dealt with

Maybe I need some beta testers for the sequel!

Edit: Updated Adventuron browser version as well

Edit: A quite annoying bug in Next version discovered. Updated to N2.11 (sorry if you've already downloaded it - the bug just makes it too easy to complete the game. Last update, for a while at least, I hope!) 15/11/25 

Edit: Now added QL version 2.2 and amended the Next QL core instructions as well. This includes some more bug fixes over 2.11 but no more revisions till next year, as more are bound to crop up! 22/11/25 

Edit: OTIS is now getting some proper beta testing and a graphics upgrade. The next version will be the definitive one!

Edit: Version 2.4 uploaded, now in colour, thanks to "Crayon"!. 13/12/25

Edit: Final version added, for SMSQ/E. This is the best way to enjoy Jarda's excellent graphics :-) Of course, another couple of bugs came to light in the process of testing it, so all the other versions have been given a tiny upgrade as well. Hopefully that's eveything finalised! 16/12/25

You're welcome. Hope you like the game!

Thanks Leonis, I just started uploading the Next version. Will add the tags. Somehow lost the QL version in the process. Working on it! Hope you like the game, Alan
