My pleasure. Great photos you guys have of your setups. Most be quite cozy homes.

Here's my contribution -

Congratulations to the perfect review in the new issue of Commodore Free - well deserved!

I received my game yesterday and managed a quick session before bedtime. The presentation, intro screen and music is outstanding and the gameplay is dazzlingly explosive! The feeling of power and controlled mayhem is almost unrivalled on 8-bit machines. On the Vic 20, only Jeff Minter's Matrix (brilliant) and Hellgate (unplayable) come close. On the 64 ... i don't know ... some Manfred Trenz game perhaps? But I'm not sure they really match the raw power of Pulse... I'll make some coffe and continue playing it now

It gets really hard when those bombs start clustering in on you! I haven't reached 1000p yet (just 751 to be honest ) I really need my best Tac-2 for this, but my thumbs start to cramp badly after a while. Really angry at all my joysticks at the moment - none work perfectly, the diagonals are always letting me down But I'm sure I'll reach 1000p soon with a little more practice and strengthend thumbs. Very fun shooter!

Well, just rest your thumb on the fire button, I suggest.

I have a bunch of old–school joysticks with micro switches to sell, by the way. They*re really making a difference.

Those great reviews are doing my head in. Very enjoyable. Thank you.

Being compared to Jeff Minter and Manfred Trenz is basically a wet dream coming true. I'll do my best to follow up.

Can I still buy game somewere?

Jeez! That late? Always the same with sending military equipment to the US.

Heh, when I get something from England, it usually takes only 6 days for me to receive it in the mail. When I order from Canada, it usually takes a month!

Batch #3 is on.

A disk version for those who like to do a quick round from sd2iec or floppy has been sent to (almost) everyone who got the tape. They're now part of the package.

I want to thank you so much for this disk version. It will gladly sit in my SD2IEC device .
