normality partially resumed, sorry its took me so long thinks have been fucking bleak lately for me to say the least but I managed to cobble together the article, apologies if its a bit like a patchwork quilt ive been adding and subtracting stuff from it for a few years and never managed to get it completely coherent |

by the way is marrowfat peas just a Northern British thing? |

Wonderful piece of work M, well done, and I am sorry to hear you've not had it easy lately. I will digest all the info properly but I just wanted to say one of the things I find fascinating is the "outtakes" and tracks that could have been on there (SAWII), which you've done a sterling job of going through those. I'd like your thoughts on AB3 track 11 (CD only track #1), "Analogue Bubblebath Vo. 3" on the Trance Europe Express compilation, and whatever is playing in the background of Caustic Window's "The Garden of Linmiri" - .... GO! |

I also like to think what the Graphic Novel would have been like. Maybe all sorts of acetates you could layer over each other with some non-linear story, ZX code to program into your spectrum and some moss spores that would grow on the pages? Or maybe it would have been a romp where RDJ had to rescue the master tapes for SAWII from an evil robot called The Man and has all sorts of wacky adventures? Will he make it in time for the rave in Cornwall? Choose your own adventure? The mind boggles. |

Cos I was going a bit mentally ill probably near the end of the article through stress it might have ended like that! "And by the way when I typed this sentence I was wearing grey underwear" hows that for a factoid! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know you're joking but that sounds like a really good idea, all the moss spore prints and a type in basic text adventure about the stolen master tapes. Right up my street that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm half joking because I like the idea too. My one aim, the one aim I've ever had is to program a Text Adventure for the Spectrum. After all these years I found a really good series of articles from ZX Computing magazine (issues April, June, August 1984) that spell (hoho) it out. "Creating an Adventure Brain" Imagine making the adventure that would go on the flexi disc of a re-issue in some mad parallel timeline... Food for thought. |

Awesome work, HF, as I’m now used to! Can be chuffed! |

are you aware of "sex farce" text adventure? it awoke something within me many moons ago, was too young to get a lot of it but i knew it was mucky |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah exactly, My brother is really bit on 8 bit era text adventure games. I've been designing one myself for a while now but its for modern platforms and going to use Inform to implement it, its a little side project |
||||||||
|

Thanks Rusty means alot! |
||||||||
|
|

yes, and infocom games in general are top quality text adventures. The is one called trinity that I've played about the first atomic bomb test, you do time travelling and stuff IRRC. fantastic stuff! |

Roger, The Stranglers had one on the flip side of their album! I haven't played it yet but apparently its about going round the world to put together the pieces of the bit Ear sculpture thats on the cover of their 1984 album "Aural Sculpture" |

Not to derail the convo, which to he fair you did yourself hiding your sizeable light under a marrow fat bushel, but I do leave here the C&VG giveaway game |

why are they nude on the beach |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

The first thing I put in was "Swim Sea" and they all drowned. Which I thought was a bit racist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they used the black guys cock as a raft |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Even worse, if you put "Dig Sand" it says "Where's the spade"... you couldn't make it up. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
lol no fucking way, seriously? |
||||||||

I've derailed the thread with bad 80s text adventure racism. Let's look again at Lanner Chronicle's exhaustive but never less than enlivening look at |

The background chatter in white blur 2 is Richard going on about the thomspon twins text adventure game to his bored parents |

Much like the speculation that fans such as ourselves like to indulge in over SAWII and what may or may not have been included in the bigger version, I found a parallel in the The Thompson Twins Adventure game that, for want of anything better to do, I completed this morning, nearly 40 years after its initial release. There are two references in the game to a forthcoming The Thompson Twins Adventure Series produced by the software house Quicksilva. However an Internet Search brought up no such results. Not even on the wikipedia page for The Thompson Twins Adventure game, which I have since ameded to include this information. Similar to an expanded SAWII we can only imagine what an enlarged The Thompson Twins Adventure game might have looked like, expanding on that unique universe where Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie and the black one, appear in swimwear (though unable to swim) on a beach a bit like Lost. Probably a game based on their hit "We Are Detective" rather than the flop "Get That Love", but who knows? |

I was just watching the vid to we are detective last, i mean its a game that writes itself |

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
