This is a fantastic read and available from Hiive books. If you are into retro, buy it before there are none left!
The magical bit for me is that Jerry Ellis saw fit to put Horace on the last page!! :) :) (made my day!)
-
more Horace, but nice article ;D....
-
Horace must live forever!!!
He is our hero and savior!
;D
-
Very nice. :)
One thing I've just noticed is that the darn game actually have different enemies where I thought the ghosts were the only ones. :'(
Now I see bloody telephones and stuff! What is that MM stuff I ask? Arrr... :D
-
LOL...
I could send you the original files (sadly in Psion format - but can be converted) - Oh, they are upped here somewhere I think?
-
By Thor! Which format might that be, .psi3? :D
Where upped, where?
-

Sucks it does not, to be Soks to the rescue.
Here's the sheet, word, and some thanks is due.
Sorry, just saw a Starwars rap video and felt like rapping...it won't happen again.
...yo!
:D
Here they are. Converted by yours truly. (http://tardis.dk/images/smilies/pac_smile.gif)
Hey, perhaps you can do the ones for me at the same time? ;)
-
sExcuse ME! Hah, scissors, telephone and that crazy mushroom! Jeez, Flash!! 8)
I will stick with Ghosts only methinks but I can redraw the other guys for you soky.
-
Hey...
Scissors were not in MM, oh! and the parky! He was in the original Horace, and stuff!
There really should have been more enemies in HITMW, but Psion (Joe Odakoya) was concerned with file size. So, no reason why not to go a bit creative? (And they really should have had 4 frames and not 2 - for the same reasons)
-
Bit scared now,
Just realised there were only 13 different enemies.....
-
Only? :D
Hey...
Scissors were not in MM, oh!
But Telephone, Telephone, TELEPHOOOONNNEEEYY!! ???
Anyway, I like that mushroom, what did you say 'parky' is the name?
-
Parky is the park warden from the original pacman based Horace game.
Yeah - The Phone was a homage to some platform game that I can just about remember... Hmmm :)
Well, I only had a few to pick from and fit in, so...

AAhh..the Mario guy. :P
At least that's how I drew him.
-
Bloody MARIO!!! Christ - and you moan about the plagiarism of Telephones! Well, Well, God!
He is a park warden! Can you not tell in that wonderful 2bit postage stamp sized head? And you call yourself a... um... you... call.... yourself.... er....'LOBO'
Ok, I will let you off, just this once!!! :D
-
And one more thing!
ANTON the Park Keeper!!! :)
ps.. This was my little bit on my glory of another mention in hardback.. and look what happened LOL LOL LOL
-
What the h**l is the thing between Parky and the PHOOOONNNEEEYY TELEPHOOOONNNEEEYY?...an elephants foot?
-
It is an... er.... thing that fills the square!! Yeah... That's what it is... A square filling alien.. Watch out, they suck brains out of your ears...
-
God!!!
I had 2 weeks to write this from scratch and find a way to code the psion with ASM... and you are concerned with a square filling alien..
God, there is no pleasing some people!!!
:D
-
Looks like a candy dispenser (from space). What is that thing in the bottom though, below the scissors?
It's like a cloud gone wrong or something.

Nice smiley ghosts, maybe Flash should incorporate them into this forum?
And that pic is to illustrate what happens to guys who drink tea and play bingo, the other guys drink coffee and BAM! straight into the kisser!
