BBC Version comparisons


Spider

Recommended Posts

A couple of short video's of the original BBC Micro release by D.Coathupe and the updated 2021 version by T.Lobster.

Should be noted I did not play too hard on these. I did run emulation at about x1.5 speed however the video may not play back at that. Please note that the sound out of sync is down to the emulator, the raw .avi also suffers with this sadly.

Original

2021 Update

I'm not sure anyone has managed to complete this platforms (no pun) version unaided without cheating. It may not be possible with the original given some of the caverns, the 2021 update -should- be possible.

There is a cheat built into the original to level select/skip similar to the 6031769/typewriter but the latter I was not able to find anything from a very very cursory look at the code, but I can't read 6502 so I may of missed it. I was looking for text strings indicating something.

I may have an attempt at this when I can. The biggest issue is the emulation recording is not great with the two I've tried, the sound is always out of sync and I no longer have any 'real' Acorn hardware.
