Am going nuts but that's not news really. The recent tape disaster got me cornered thoroughly, so I ended up doing PHP. That's when the office door went down. So I'm taking your recommendation to take it easy seriously this time – hoping that beamrider isn't right with the release date happening around xmas.

If we could have it for Christmas it would be wonderful!

This belongs to my all-time Top-3 favourite VIC20 arcade ports, together with MsPacman and Donkey Kong. Couldn't get to work the latest file, though.

Thanks for the full preview .tap version. Great to see that you have not forgotten us.
Plays great in vice - any chance of a .d64 so I can play it on the real thing?
I know you've had a spot of bother getting this to a physical tape release, so there's no chance that I will be able to do it!
Feel free to shout abuse at this point

I'm not sure this is being worked on anymore...
Date of the last .prg was at the end of August.

I presume that anyone who had pre-ordered (paid in advance?) was sent the digital version of the finished product.
This is definitely being worked on = more or less finished.

No. I didn't get anything.

I received an attachment in an email on 14th December.
Fully working version.
Perhaps you should PM pixel.
I can't be the only one he sent this to, surely.

I mailed him. Maybe he is busy with real life?

I was due to get a copy of the final physical/digital release as a 'reward' for programming the sound effects and music.
Haven't heard anything recently from pixel so I presume it has been suspended due to life events

I guess I'd like to contribute to this project although I dont' like 1530s.

Sorry, folks. Had to work a lot (with crap) and my Dad is finally about to hit the Pearly Gates. What a Xmas gift. Consider me gone for a couple of weeks.

Sorry to hear about your Dad.
I think my Mum (90) is about to do the same.
Real Life is absolutely the priority here.
