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.

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.

Is that a little guy with an affected accent and a turned up nose who sits beside you as you browse telling you which comments not to read?

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

If comment contains owns, owned, pwns or pwned then hide comment.

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.

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)

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.
