# Image Challenge Vote
This week's vote is now officially open for abuse. Your choices are:

* The ZX spectrum is 30 years old! - make 8bit versions of contemporary stuff
* Disappointment - show us what disappointment looks like
* Omnishambles - what will the Government cock up next?
* If tabloid newspapers were edited by animals

And here's the balloty-box.

I really like Disappointment and Amimal Tabloids, I reckon they've both got a lot of scope.

disapointment indeed.

it wasn't a suggestion about the graphics so there was something for everybody in my original suggestion. People could have baked a Spectrum Cake, or Steam Punk'd an Amiga Keyboard onto a PC

i highly doubt a spectrum had that many colours, though, and the attribute clashing you'd get on that would be horrific.

maybe i'll take ht's advice and steer clear of b3ta :)

# I seem to remember a bit in the Hobbit that went like this
You are in a forest. Pale, bulbous eyes look at you from above.

GO WEST

You are in a forest. Pale, bulbous eyes look at you from above. You are stung in the neck. You die. You have completed 69% of this adventure.


unless you did this:

GO SOUTH

You are in a forest. Pale, bulbous eyes look at you from above.

WAIT

You wait. Time passes...

GO WEST

Beorn's house.


I mean, what the fuck? I'm meant to somehow know that I should wait once before trying to go through the fucking forest? Fuck that shit, "Melbourne House", if that actually is your house and it actually *is* in Melbourne which I highly motherfucking doubt.

# had one evil one where you had to walk through "the path of eternal sleep", in a single specific direction
it was like N N W W E W N W E S N W N W

and you had to do it completely correctly

and if you got it wrong 3 times in a row you died

and there was no indication you were going the right way

I mean, wtf, that's not a game, that's just bastarding. BASTARDING

It's basically shit game non design. It's not a "clever" puzzle, it's simply fucking idiotic and shows that the writer of the game was a basic cunt.
