# So it turns out that the game of the Chilean mine rescue isn't all that great...


Edit: If you want to PLAY this, here's the .TAP file to load into your favourite emulator.

Yes, I really did re-edit the game and sprite data to do this.

Meh.

Edit 2: Oh yeah, you'll need the code - it's 1113.

# The patriotism angle has confused many people outside Chile.
But Chile have been world collapsed-mine-emoting champions almost constantly since 1928. It's been a close second to football as a TV spectator sport there since the 70s.

# on youtube i said that some of the miners were fat bastards and that the bbc were milking it.

# some of the people on there are just beyond me.
i mean, at least try and understand a fucking comment before you reply with something retarded. anyway, i'm drunk now so i don't care as much, but when i'm sober i want to disembowel the cunts.

# Either drunk or sober, I do get the rage when reading retarded comments.
I can ignore then when sober, but tend to start off on a rant when drunk only to catch myself on, delete and go look at kittens or something to calm down

Thankfully after installing youtube comment snob, I tend not to get it so much there.

Nah, an add-on for firefox that hides spastic comments if they're not written with correct syntax/punctuation.

# ok - installed Fuse
downloaded tap - but stuck at the lenslock bit - it doesn't accept 1113.

I even dug out the real tape but my colour vision is so iffy I still can't get in.

DAMN YOU SOFTWARE PROJECTS AND YOUR NEARLY 30 YEAR OLD DRM.

edit: fucking hell I am in.

edit2: Touching the other miners kills you! Do they have AIDS or something?

edit3: ha ha, going left instead down the pit takes you to the yacht. The only winning move is not to play.

# I've pondered a full, B3TA-themed remake of JSW
But that would be just mad.
(I helped save b3ta! Bad Horsey Bring back Dr. Ubes Rub!, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 19:56, archived)
# mad
but glorious - if you were really up for doing it we could do a challenge and get the b3tans to design memey baddies for it.

(And also stick the end version up in a java wrapper thing so people could play on line without fiddling with a downloady emulator)
(I helped save b3ta! rob, Mon 18 Oct 2010, 20:12, archived)
# Hmmm!
Two approaches spring to mind:

1. Design baddies - this is the easiest one as the constraints are fairly straightforward - the sizes are the same and there are only four / eight animation frames per baddy.

2. Contribute screens - this is harder in that the JSW editors around don't really allow for collaborative efforts. I'm happy to do the actual coding but any contributors would probably need at least a passing understanding of the game mechanics... although that's a fairly safe bet.

# Don't forget
the sprite sizes. 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32. Don't think there were any larger than that.

I did a 16x16 2-frame Fear for this a while back...


Ah Chaos.. what a game.

# I used to remove all the DRM
Jet-set willy was a particularly easy one to do, if I remember correctly...

I loved DRM - it meant all the kids would give me their games without me needing to get them games in return

# Dear GameMaster,
Tried loading the TAP in CCS64 and 64 Forever but it doesn't work :-( Just says Loading and then does nothing. Any ideas?

Thank you GamesMaster!

# Yep
Check the azimuth alignment on your tape deck.

Edit: Or try a ZX Spectrum emulator instead of a C64. Don't make me start up the 8-bit Holy Wars again.

# Ahhhh :-)
That'll be the problem then. But the graphics looked so clean in your GIF that I assumed it was a 64. Spectrums are hopeless at sprites etc and the sound is awful and.... and....
