Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.

That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.

The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.

The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.

It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.

If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.

Juan.

Bloody good, fiendishly difficult at times. But damn good game

Thanks buddy!👍😉

Fine game!

Thanks buddy! ;)

Ooh ya bugger! Pixel perfection needed for those wall openings.
Tricky!
Nicely done Gaz. My ambition is to release a Spectrum game one day.

It is a tricky game! Thanks very much, you can always get MPAGD and have go yourself. I'm always about to lend a hand ;)

I definitely would like to have a go, yes.

Now updated with 10 extra levels!!

ooh! You are making it hard for me to ever complete!

I know, but at least it's pretty much finished now as a fully functional game with 20 levels! :)
