Re: The Future of the QL Wiki
Just a quickie re the test Wiki. I've changed the theme for the Wiki away from the default and I'm now using a BootStrap theme which works well on Mobile phones, Tablets and laptops/PCs with narrow, medium and wide screens. This looks better on all the devices I've tried so far. In addition, on the...

Re: The Future of the QL Wiki
If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that people join "clubs" to do one or more of the following: * meet other like minded people; * drink beer; * take control, my way is the only way, pug up with it or ship out; * join in the running of said club; * expect everyone else...

Re: The Future of the QL Wiki
It's a test version and still looks good. Yes, the wrapping around pictures needs improving, and some spacing between pictures and text, but given that it's a first trial, very impressive.

Re: Best QL UK ROM
In order of preference, best to worst: JS, JM, AH. I only ever saw one MG QL. So JS is the best ;) Thanks!!! MG is more recent, right? Of the British ROMs, yes, JS is probably best if you wish to use QDOS. MG was generally only for overseas markets as has already been said, and was a little later t...

Re: More MIA software titles
In the 80s I played a game called "sub commander" on the QL. Anyone heard of or seen that? You'd sail your sub, watching fuel, air, crew morale, and patrol this 512x256 mile patch of Atlantic ocean. Sometimes there's be ships, but usually it was just avoiding mutiny or hitting the bottom ...
