I agree. It is similar to how our parents never understood The Beatles or Rolling Stones.

Well, if it is so radical guess it isn't for me then.

Well, I can now longer download Adrift from this site without the anti-virus going mad. Also my hosting company are complaining about viruses, when I try and put a copy on my site.

Do they still have the "old" rules for the Ectocomp? like you can only work on your game for a certain time? (I believe it was three hours) Oh, correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't the Ectocomp an old Adrift "invention"? I seem to remember that it all started here in the forum many, many years ago. I...

And then my site, Delron, goes down! It must be catching. Thanks Lumin for the heads up.

If you guys are interested I will set up a group mail and if/when something like this happens again I will send e-mails explaining the situation and what's being done about it and when the error has been corrected. :anyone: Sounds a brilliant idea, means we aren't in the dark about what is going on...

It would depend on how well signposted it was or whether it fits with the game. Might feel like a sudden death otherwise.

I'm sure a Speccy was about £130 or so with games around £5 to £10.

Nothing from me this year. Got an I7 game probably for next.

I'm with David on this one. I was a big Adventure game player during the 80's. Don't remember coming across any of these titles.

If you're looking for more games to play, there's a backup archive of ADRIFT games at http://www.delron.org.uk/adrift-games.htm that some prefer the formatting of for browsing over he Games section here the main site. (Just stay away from the ones that say "AIF", or you will go to Hell.) Thanks for...

Been working normally through all this. So, unfortunately my production has been zero.

Unfortunately, the copying and pasting doesn't work in v5 because even after all these years, it still doesn't support multiple commands on the same line (a feature which v4 had from day one). If Campbell ever works on it again, that's one of the first things he should fix. Hate to haave to agree w...

I have separate macros if I have various decision points (or parts which affect later elements) in a game.

I'm still working so nothing has really changed for me. Work for a food retail company, so it has been really crazy times. Our distribution centre has been broken all records shipping goods despite have large numbers of staff off ill. And yes, we have toilet paper.
