Hi, Perfect, I like `Last Match' game. It reminds a film hero in `Last Year at Marienbad', who was playing some tricks on a lady, always winning this sort of game. If I am right, there is some binary logic strategy, when applied the player cannot lose. Would it it run on a black box QL? Yes, Match ...

As usual this is a highly professional, downright over-engineered piece of software from you. I already played a preview and besides the fact that I'm too dumb for it it works and plays very well :-) Over-engineered is not professional: It is hobbyist ;) But thanks for your kind words. I guess as a...

Out of interest, what sort of games would you like to see? I would love some realtime action on the screen. ;) The thing is, expectations are higher now. Sure, if it was possible to do a reasonable shoot'em up on a BBQL, the same should be possible on a Q68, with some more speed and colours thrown ...

My own first experience of PC gaming was a terrific puzzle game called The Incredible Machine - see here on ''My Abandonware": https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-incredible-machine-1mg I'd love to see something like this on the QL! Well, that looks like fun :) Highcolour QLs should be up t...

+1 for Kye, brilliant game which I "lost" many hours playing, and I don't tend to play many games. If I remember correctly, Kye was named after the author's dog which had a tendency to run amok at any time! More here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kye_(video_game) . Yes, well, its not re...

I remember a highly addictive game called Kye on the PC - a puzzle game with many levels - the last ones quite devious. Boxworld was another fun but pointless game too :-) Ive never played these kinds of games (I guess Tetris is the closest Ive come to an "action game" ;D ) so I wouldnt k...

For now, there only like a few spanners and a couple of screwdrivers, but that may improve a little over the next 35 years..

Personally I would aspire to be able to write quality software such as featured on your web, but being a enthuistic amatuer, who has problems with spelling... I struggle a little bit. Start simple and work your way up. The stuff you find on Knoware is dwarfed by the piles of crap that didnt make it...

I read it with interest and many thanks for your efforts! Staying silent was just because I don't like card games at all (on a computer). But highcolor games in general are a good idea! Ill take that as a compliment, Peter :) Thank you! Out of interest, what sort of games would you like to see? Im ...

According to the limited web stats available to me, as many as.. wait for it.. 0.33% of our 600+ subscribers here, went to the trouble of viewing details of a spanking new, 21st century, game for the QL universe! And of those 0.33%, all of 50% decided to give it a try. This post is just an attempt t...
