1 WHILE I HAVE THE CHANCE (HAHA! HE'S BEEN TALKING FOR THE LAST 2K OF CODE! - MATT) I'D JUST LIKE TO PLUG - RING MAGIC - THE NEXT ASSIGNMENT FOR THE XPLOSIVE DEVELOPMENT TEAM. THE PLOT IS .... BEFORE KING ARTHUR, BEFORE EVEN THE ROMANS, IN ENGLAND A LONG LONG TIME AGO LIVED THE RACE OF DUN-DAIN. A POWERFUL RACE, FAR TOO ADVANCED FOR THEIR TIME. YOU AS THE RIGHTFUL HEIR TO THE THRONE MUST PROVE YOUR WORTH BY RECOVERING THE LOST RING OF FAIRIE, FOR IT IS SAID THAT ONLY THE TRUE HEIR OF DUN-DAIN CAN WIELD ITS POWER. SOUNDS GOOD DOESN'T IT? WELL? OF COURSE IT DOES, BETTER THAN THE USUAL 'YOU MUST DESTROY EVERYTHING IN YOUR PATH AND SAVE THE WORLD' LINE ANYWAY!! NOW DON'T YOU THINK THAT WAS WORTH THE MONEY? NOT ONLY A FOUR LEVEL GAME BUT ALSO A MEGA SCROLLING MESSAGE WHEN YOU'VE FINISHED IT! JUST IN CASE ANY OF YOU READING THIS ARE WONDERING WHERE I FOUND THE PASSWORD 'YRNEHTACYM' I'LL TELL YOU! WRITE IT OUT BACKWARDS AND IT SPELLS 'MYCATHENRY' OR 'MY CAT HENRY', WHICH OF COURSE IS REFERRING TO MATTS NEWEST KITT
1 TONY - I HOPE YOU ENJOYED PLAYING ALL FOUR LEVELS WITHOUT HAVING TO LOAD EACH NEW LEVEL IN, LIKE CERTAIN GAMES I COULD MENTION!!MATT, MOANED ALOT ABOUT HAVING TO FIT 'ALL THESE LEVELS INTO 48K OF MEMORY'! BUT, I NAGGED CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL HE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CRAM ALL FOUR LEVELS INTO MEMORY! FAN LETTERS TO THE ADDRESS GIVEN BEFORE!!! ALSO, IF ANYONE WANTS GRAFIX DONE I'LL BE AVAILABLE AT THAT ADDRESS AS WELL! WE WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO WRITE A STAR FLEET MANUAL BUT COULDN'T BE BOTHERED! TO ALL GNOME AT HOME MEMBERS, MAILBOX 'SHADOW' NOW. TIME FOR ALL THE HELLOS.... HELLO TO... STINGRAY (BECAUSE I MADE HIM SAY HELLO TO ME!),MOOG JNR, CEASAR AND CLEO (MY KITTENS), PHILLIP (THE LITTLE TWERP THAT KEPT COMING AROUND ASKING FOR GAMES TO BORROW),HENRY,OSCAR,NELSON,BADGER,MIKE LAMB (EVEN THOUGH I'VE NEVER MET HIM),ALL THE MAGAZINES THAT GAVE SHURIKEN A GOOD REVIEW,MAD SYSOP,THANATOS,SPRITE,IVAN (THE MUSCIAN WHO IS STILL AT THIS VERY MOMENT STRUGGLING WITH MATTS ACE MUSIC ROUTINE! THE ONE WHICH IS A SOD TO U
1 TONY - REPEAT AFTER ME... THE SCROLLY IS NOW 12K LONG!! NO DON'T STOP IN AMAZEMENT 'CAUSE IT'S TRUE! YEP, 12K!! PROBABLY THE LONGEST SCROLLY IN THE WORLD! JOKE FILE ONE... WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING A TEST-TUBE BABY?
1 TONY - IT'S TIME FOR MY FACT MENTIONED EARLIER! BUT, JUST BEFORE I BEGIN... DID YOU KNOW WE'VE USED ALMOST SIX AND A HALF K ALREADY?? WE'RE AIMING FOR THE 8K BARRIER AT THE MOMENT, BUT, HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE SMASHING THAT SOON!! INCIDENTALLY, THE LONGEST SCROLLY KNOWN TO US ON THE SPECTRUM WAS ONLY 7K LONG! PUNY!!!... BACK TO THE FACTS! EVERY COMPUTER EVER INVOLVED IN PROGRAMMING THIS GAME HAS BROKEN DOWN!! WARNING MEGA GAMES LIKE THIS CAN SERIOUSLY OVER EXCITE YOUR POOR OLD SPECCY!! FACT NUMERO TWO... WE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR SHURIKEN TO BE FINISHED BY THE PC SHOW, BUT, DUE TO LAZYNESS THE PROGRAMMER HADN'T FINISHED WORK ON FLICKER! THAT GETS HIM BACK FOR ALL THOSE NASTY DIGS EARLIER. FACT NUMERO THREE... MY PERSONAL UNFINISHED COPY OF SHURIKEN HAS AN AMAZING FEATURE! YOU CAN WALK IN MID AIR!! UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS MORE OF A HINDERANCE THAN A HELP. (YOUR COPY IS CORRUPTED YOU FOOL - MATT) FACT NUEMRO FOUR... UNTIL SHURIKEN WE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO MAKE SOUND ON THE SPECCY IN MACHINE CODE! SO PLEASE EXC
1 THIS IS GETTING TO BE ONE MEATY SCROLLYTHON!!!
1 THEY REPLACED IT WITH... DUM DE DUM DUM DAAA! .. A +2A .... (OH NO!!) WHICH IS COMPLETELY INCOMPATABLE WITH ALL FORMS OF LIFE! SO! I MANAGED TO GET HOLD OF A SPECTRUM PLUS TO TEST MY CODE ON, BUT THEN!! TONY'S COMPUTER BLEW UP!! HE GOT HIS FIXED (AND IT HAS PROMPTLY BLOWN UP ALMOST EVERY WEEK SINCE!) THEN... DOOM UPON GLOOM.. TWO OF MY VERY IMPORTANT SOURCE FILE DISCS GOT COMPLETELY WIPED, WHICH MEANT REWRITING ALOT OF CODE.. (WHICH WAS MAINLY DUE TO MY +2A AND 'FIXER'!!) ... AND THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF MISHAPS SINCE, BUT IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN 48K TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT! DISASTER AFTER DISASTER!! WELL, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH (APART FROM TONY'S MOANS AT ME FOR RUNNING OUT OF MEMORY (HE SAID IT WAS MY FAULT! DUNNO WHY!!)) RIGHT.. I'VE JUST BEEN TOLD THAT TONY WANTS A NATTER...
