Yay!

I finally got my newly created sam disks to work in my real SAM.

Excellent stuff...

That modplayer someone sent me eons ago is pretty cool. Now I've got to
start downloading countless mod-files to play...

Outwrite will be good once I work out how to use it... :) Took me a
while to work out how to load the manual! (I pressed random keys until
something happened!)

Oh, And Chris Pile's Defender. Wow! If you haven't played it, play it
now! (Or was I the last one to do so?) But did he have to make it so
damn difficult :)


Justin.

I loved playing the Defender clones, when I was a kid, on the speccy.

Perhaps it is difficult because I'm out of practice... :)

Could be!!  But you did have to be a bit of a contortionist in the finger
department to play the original!!  Especially if you were 'unlucky' enough
to find one with buttons for up/down, rather than a joystick!!

Imagine trying to mimic the original twin-joystick control of Robotron-2084
on
a SAM keyboard!!  ;)

How did you manage to get the SAM conversion as close to the original
as possible? Do you actually have a Defender arcade machine in your
bedroom, or something? :)

It could be yours for a mere UKP1500
http://www.emuunlim.com/Arcadewarehouse/defender.html with the buttons or
http://www.emuunlim.com/Arcadewarehouse/defender-cocktail.html for the table
top version with the stick :-)

I'll reply off-list, as it's likely to become wildly off-topic!!
