Hey, hello there!

 

It's good to see you around again.

 

 

I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but never mind. I'm the author of, among other things, "Willy Takes a Trip" and "ZX Willy the Bug Slayer", and I've come to join this community. Hello to you all!

 

Note: For various complicated reasons, it'd be good if you don't mention my surname here.

Geoff, many years ago you laid down a gauntlet in the Readme file for your game 'Willy Takes a Trip':

 

 

 

What's the music?
-----------------
 
The title tune is, of course, "Greensleeves", and I defy anyone to fix the bum low note!

 

 
Well, I've taken up the challenge (nearly two decades later!)  There were actually a few bum notes, and furthermore the final note seemed to go on a bit too long.  Anyway, please listen to the attached file, in which I've 'fixed' the title tune.  :)

Late to the party again, but I'm gonna say I went through hours and hours of torture to convert some of your patch vectors for one of my 48k remakes, and in the end I corrupted my save, and ended up using one of your games to actually finish off what I started. The last game in the Fucked Internet Trilogy uses the engine from one of your games, and I can not remember which one it was.

 

I remember while I was trying to convert your patch vectors over I was billing the game as being "Half-Geoff Mode".

 

I have no idea what I did, but somewhere I corrupted something that broke the game? I could still open it up in JSWED, but it wouldn't play at all in any emulators the game was completely broken, and at the time I had no real idea about checking certain addresses for certain things, so I panicked basically... I scrapped my original project and took one of your games, and used what was available to me from my own botched job to remake it essentially.

 

I thought it was a bit of a disaster, but it got a few fans, so not all that bad really.
