|  A Little Holiday Gift From BSZ | | Posted by Csabo on 2012-12-23 |
 This should make the Plus/4 World demo-enthusiasts (cough...*Luca*...cough) happy! BSZ/NST send some goodies our way:
- Would you like to see Stinky's First demo? Now you can!
- What, there was a part that never made it to The 2nd? For realz, yo!
- Speaking of which, did you know that The 2nd has a hidden mode, and that the "notes" file was stuffed onto an already full disk? Read the author's notes!
- Who could have been responsible for Kedvenc Sidplay? BSZ has a few words about this piece of software as well.
Big cheers to BSZ for digging these up from his old disks (and his memory)! |

| | Hall Of Fame | | Posted by Csabo on 2012-12-22 |
 What's that? A new item in the main menu?
Plus/4 World returns to its gaming roots by the addition of the Hall Of Fame. This section is a combined high score list for all games. LanMIK had the right idea on our forums, but a forum post is hard to maintain. The dedicated page makes it easy to see all scores in one place, and thanks to our site's database driven nature, the scores are also automatically listed on the game's and the submitting person's pages as well.
So, play a game, give it a try and submit your own score. Some things may be rough around the edges, so any feedback (Does the submission flow make sense? Are the layouts useful and coherent?) is appreciated. Game on! |

| | Deadline | | Posted by Csabo on 2012-12-17 |
>examine mailbox
In the mailbox you find Deadline.
>get deadline
Taken.
>examine deadline
After careful examination, you conclude that Deadline is a new converted game by gc841. It's Infocom's 3rd title, one that was never ported to Plus/4. The game is a murder mystery, you control a detective who has 12 hours to solve the death of a wealthy industrialist. The game requires disk drive and takes up one full side.
>help
You find that the original C64 manual has been scanned and is available for your perusal. You also notice that the original covers have been added for completeness sake.
>contemplate
You ponder, consider and reflect upon all things. You decide that the next step is to download the game and heap kudos on the people responsible for it on our forums. |
