Good point Mo, good to see you, mate. ☺️ I'm new over here! It's a technical issue people are talking about, and it is correct. Quite a few games has US developed NTSC versions and PAL versions as well, though most NTSC versions were inferior some of them were not.

The problem is, of course, that Kizza is the kind of guy who could start a fight in an empty room. He doesn't need other people to blow up he does it himself. He's fighting invisible aggressors and in the process creating real unrest and real enemies in the process. I've said it before and again, he's a fool to himself. Someone on YT said he thought KH was suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Now I had never actually gone and read the symptoms of NPD before. I If you do a lot of things seem to make a lot of sense. It isn't ASD he has, it's NPD.

Reminds me of that conversation in Die Hard 2. He's pissing in someone's pool and he's got no chlorine.

Nice one! Yeah they all seem to be either unavailable or madly priced.

Ok, A bit less popular on ebay, then. Thank you for these. I will create a search on ebay and tell it to notify me of any listings. I might try to get the A130XE one because I have a 800XL. Thanks again MrFish!

Thanks Mr Fish & Others for recommendations and tips. I will dig out key info from PDFs and where affordable get a few books of ebay. I've got lots of c64 coding books to be going on with, but system specific, info is gold-dust to me, so thanks all! 🥇

Kizza makes these random connections in his head and then asserts them as pure fact. I know in the past he has doctored grabs and all kinds. Do not let it get you. If one thing should give you a modicum of peace over this matter, it should be this: You are not alone, Octav1us. Look at all these people. Everyone has been on the sharp end of his bullshit. Aside from me as although I have met him at events and had him on FB (before I decided it wasn't good for me), I have never 'worked' with him, or had interactions of a creative kind. To think he can't play with others without resorting to the most spiteful F'd up behaviour just sums him up. Your videos are cool. Please keep doing stuff you love. @RetroPrincess I don't know either of you, but I wanted to say thank you, thank you, for being there for your friend. When you are being treated badly by someone having the support and backing of a good friend means a great deal. Hopefully very soon you will both be left alone to be the creative people you are again, without all the bullshit!

Thanks for the clarification, Andy. I was at that event too. It was good, it is a shame everything has come to this. -my final thought- that letter looks iffy. After all what medical professional would put TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN for one thing. They would address it to a specific person or his GP? and it is repeated again a little further down. It looks like 'someone' laid various bits over each other on the scanner. (I might be wrong...) It doesn't have his NHS number either which I would assume would be on there (even if he redacted it you would see where it should be -) also shouldn't the subject be KH himself as the patient. I'm out. He's a bloody fool to himself.

It's unfair, but you are 100% entitled to an opinion, unpopular or not.

the guy has OFFICIALLY lost it.

Thanks malrak. I've heard of some of these. I didn't get on too well with Ratchet & Clank because I found collecting all the bolts quite tedious in a way I didn't with wumpa fruit in Crash Bandicoot say. No I didn't like Sonic Mania either. Thanks for the other suggestions! I will check them out

Come on people there must be some PS4 platform lovers out there ?

Thanks Preppie! I'll get on this and have a good look.

Thanks man, much appreciate your recommendations.

I'll try to get hold of one or more of these. Thanks Rybags!

Thanks for the replies guy. Yeah, I did wonder why there seemed to be no specific books like there are for every other computer/range. Odd. Nevermind I've lots of 6502 coding books for the C64. I've found the Mapping The... series tend to be quite expensive. The best books I've got are the ones by Mark Greenshields who remarkably was 15 when he wrote one of them and 16 when he wrote another. He actually wrote one for the Amstrad too but there was no market for it.

Or Godus. Or others. I hope SC does come out as well. I actually have a feeling it might. Or SkySaga: Infinite Isles which was a particularly painful one for me as some friendly acquaintances were working on it at the time the money plug was pulled. - plus it must be a serious downer for anyone working on a game that doesn't make it!

For want of better words 'it's a piss-take'. They spend 18 months to 3 years working on a game, then throw it out as a Beta you have to pay for 'early access' to. Only for a year to go by, they don't complete it, they close the servers and cancel the game. What happened during that development cycle? What happened during the last 4 months of 'Crunch'? Don't get me wrong, I have some mates and good friends working in the game industry but this practice is just reprehensible it's abhorrent it's like that Kickstarter we are all moaning about over on Lemon64. One of the Football (English) games I have for the PS3 was actually a demo on a disc. When you put the disc in you had to update, a massive long tedious system locking update which was actually the main game being installed onto the hard drive. So at some point that game will be totally useless because that server will be dead in a couple of years. It is now possible in the gaming industry to release never release an actual game, just the demo, make a huge ton of cash, shut up shop and never actually complete the title. Look at GTA, they DON'T WANT to release GTA6 they're too busy shovelling the cash from the online modes. Just keep putting out some extra DLC every few months and away you go. It really grinds my gears...

Hello! I got back into commodore 64 coding about 18 months ago. This time after many attempts I finally got the hang of 6502 assembler. (coding for years, first basic games, then C, then C++ and others) I've been working on various things for the 64 to get to grips with it all. Nearing completion of my Football Management game. I recently got a Atari 800XL. Looking for book/pdf recommendations SPECIFICALLY for coding Atari 8 Bit and the 800XL if possible. I am assuming the whole range is pretty much the same save for the memory? Need help with the memory map really and any tips or quirks specific to the machine/s? I'd love to finish one of my c64 games then recode it for the A8. Thanks in advance

Ah right. I do see what you mean now. You mean 'don't fan the flames of a fire, else it won't ever go out'. I couldn't find it when I tried earlier. But I was just pointing out that the likelihood that this is the last of his YT shenanigans is remote.

Dragons rock fella! Nice

I've got a lovely S P A C E I N V A D E R S shirt. Well x3. It has the usual suspects in a line in different colours with the legend 'Class of 78' which is perfect for me as I was born in 78 just like Space Invaders. Problem is, some old girl had a go at me down the pub over it. I was minding my own business and she just goes 'you shouldn't be wearing that shirt, it will make people thing you're young'. What bloody cheek. As she was female I just grumbled and continued with my drink. How rude!

Strangely, no Amiga in there. 😕

What do you mean ? I saw it pop us as a recommended channel for some reason. Look I really don't like the guy. He's a bully he's a fool he's a jerk. I'm not going to not say my bit.
