Online ramblings, usually about athletics or the Sinclair C5 or Spectrum!

I've single-handedly saved Cronosoft!

Well, maybe not but after ordering SEUD, PGD and splATTR it was nice to hear the following from Simon:

Many thanks for the order of games - I've had so many orders since posting on WOS, it looks like we'll be around for a while yet!

He's sent me the emulator versions of the titles while I wait for the tapes. splATTR looks great under ZXSpin on my PC/Windows but resets as soon as I load it under Fuse/Mac OS x :-(

Cronosoft order

Now I'm off for a couple of weeks I've had more time to play with my Speccy as you've no doubt noticed from my recent posts!

I've been checking out the Cronosoft forum recently and thinking about how quiet it has been.

Today, I had a look to see if I could find a more active forum, since comp.sys.sinclair seemed a bit dull (!) and saw a thread on the World of Spectrum forum that made me dash off that order for Platform Game Designer (PGD), Shoot 'Em Up Designer (SEUD) and splattr that I've been meaning to place for a while.

I am a Defender-ship. I am fiercely protective of my friends and loved ones, and unforgiving of any who would hurt them. Speed and foresight are my strengths, at the cost of a little clumsiness. I'm most comfortable with a few friends, but sometimes particularly enjoy spending time in larger groups. What Video Game Character Are You?
