The comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2024

Post by EdToo »

It gives me great displeasure to announce I'll be the host of C.S.S.C.G.C 2024. Before the official start of proceedings on the last bong of Big Ben New Year's Eve I'm just making my way around the Sinclair-related forums to drum up some goodies for my inbox next year. I have already been threatened with a QL entry and want to make sure the rest of the community gets a chance to punish me. Beyond marvelling at the price of the QL in my teens I have no experience with it so I'll no doubt be looking for help running any entries that come my way :D

Full details are over on https://csscgc24.blogspot.com/ I look forward to seeing what delights come my way.

“There are four lights!”
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year :)

QL, Falcon, Atari 520STFM, Atari 1040STE, more PC's than I care to count and an assortment of 8 bit micros (Sinclair and Acorn)(nearly forgot the Psion's)

And the first review of the first submission of the year is up. Jim Waterman has set a high bar with his entry for the Lambda 8300. The game is available for download at the itch.io location here. Number Board Plus is a remake of a much older type-in. Does it improve the original or add little value? You have my verdict above, post yours below.

And hot on Jim's heels we have ZXKerl with not one, but two games GFM and GFM2. The review is here and the game can be downloaded here.

The countdown has surely started towards the first QL entry.
