I third "Into the Eagle's Nest"!

Er..

@abstauber - I wasn't sure whether you genuinely couldn't see anything or if you were making some awesome joke that I totally didn't get!!!  :-[

Okay, over to Atavismus.

@Mandle - nope, it's a little critter called "Visine Orb".

Astauber has it!  Over to you...

Lovely game!  Spent ages getting good enough to beat the final opponent and almost wrecked my mouse in the process.  I played it again recently on an emulator and... well, let's just say I don't think my reflexes are what they once were :embarrassed:

Funny thing is I've never actually played the game but recognised it instantly!

Okay this one may well be obvious even though I've cropped out 98% of the screen... we'll see.

Got a terrific haul from The Book Farm in Nuneaton yesterday.  Sadly no Vonnegut available, but Timelike Infinity by Stephen Baxter which I've always been curious about, Black Diamonds - a Jules Verne novel I've never heard of (that has also been published under the name The Child of the Cavern), Minority Report by PKD which I've always wanted to read, plus others by Isaac Asimov, Greg Egan and Orson Scott Card.  Plus a couple of standalone Star Wars novels out of curiosity. Now just got to find time to actually read them!

Completed Game Announcements / Daleks
Sat 15/04/2017 17:07:07
I don't know if anyone will remember the Atari ST game Daleks (pretty sure it was out on other systems as well), but if you do, then this is more or less a remake of that game.  For those of you that don't remember it, this game is more or less a remake of that game.

Basically, it's a very simple turn-based game where you have to get the daleks / robots or whatever you want to call them to crash into each other rather than crash into you.  There are 5 levels but this is designed to be a coffee break game, unless you deliberately ponder each move for an age, no single game is ever going to take you long.  Starting points for you and the robots are completely randomised, and so is the location you transport to if you use the transporter, so there will be very occasional times when losing is inescapable - however these instances are extremely low probability.

I'll put up something non-GameJolt later, I'm in a bit of a rush now.  Enjoy!  (For extra fun see if you can identify the famous sci-fi robots I've tried to recreate as an 8x8 pixel sprite.)

Heya, CaptainD/Starbuck!   :-D

Sorry, delayed reaction here - hi Cassiopeia / Xanthippe!  Nice to meet one of my in-game lovers!  :-D ;)

Soo... is his own mobile, accidentally left at the scene of the crime, in itself the incriminating evidence?

Thanks all!  Glad you enjoyed it.   ;-D

@dactylopus - thanks for the recommendations.  I read Harrison Bergeron many (well you know, probably about 20) years ago in an anthology and... well, it's definitely one of those stories that you never forget!  (The film was Sean Astin was very good too, though obviously they had to stray considerably from the source material - it had a tragic yet hopeful ending, rather than simply tragic as per the short story.)  I think I like the look of Breakfast of Champions more than Slaughterhouse Five, so I'll try to get that.  Thanks again!

Mind, The Ancient Golden Amiga lodge could be your new luminous shelter. ;)

The STEEM emulator helps comfort me in my hour of need, but I appreciate your solidarity!  :-D

Um... anyway... Anas over to you!
