  1. Hi, does anyone else use Gimp to make DX's with or is Photoshop a must have?

    Have always fancied having a go, but don't want to pay for Photoshop as i don't know if i will ever actually be any good at it. I have no artistic skills for a start!

    I saw a Youtube video about Gimp 2.10.0 which has recently been released and the video was describing it as being pretty close to Photoshop...

    10 years ago i made a bodged up classic layout of Daylight Robbery, and would like a dabble at layout creation again.

    Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

    All the best, Gary.

     

  2. So hard to pick!!! But here goes... and bet after i post there will be others pop in my head which i should of put instead! Sod's law, the list is in no order of preference apart from the number 1 spot which has to go to What a carry on, simply because as a casual gamer i love the fact it goes on the feature board so much.. to me it never mattered about winning money, it's all about the pleasure of playing the games, and listening to the sound package the machines had.

    1) What a carry on (PCP)

    2) Red hot rocks (QPS)

    3) Andy Capp (Barcrest)

    4) L of a day (Project)

    5) Fairground (JPM)

    6) Adders n ladders (Barcrest)

    7) Terminator (JPM)

    8} Line up (Barcrest)

    9) Cash lab (QPS)

    10) Fruit explosion (Maygay)

  3. My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 48k rubber key affair... remember getting it christmas 1985.... had the keyboard upgraded in 1987 to the ZX Spectrum+ ... still own it to this day.

    Got to say Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy were favourite games of mine, best i did at Manic Miner was to get to "the warehouse" which is the 17th room out of 20.

    Played Bomb Jack loads too, and the puzzle game "Tilt" Also have to say i was rather impressed with the Speccy's conversion of Sega's Super Hang-on.

    Hearts of Gold is on the back-burner as well, mate.  Wasn't that much interest in it when I made a WIP on it, so I lost a bit of enthusiasm for it.  Might pass it on to someone else to finish off.  I know DAD was interested in it, so maybe a project for him; if he wants it. :)

    If not, I'll get it done at a later date.  Don't want to sit on it if it's a machine you want to see DX'ed.

    I showed enthusiasm for it on Fruit Emu... It reminds me of Super Streak, gutted it got put on the back burner :(

  5. This is just a silly thought that ran through my head while playing Party time, but i wondered if the people at Astra loved custard creams so much that they decided to immortalise them into their jackpot symbol!
