JSW 40 years old ... did I miss a thread?

Just wondered was there no celebratory thread about JSW being 40 years old this year?

 

I didn't have time to check the forum much a few months ago, just wondered if I missed some

kind of celebration about it?

 

40 years is a long time for any game to have a playable lifetime, I know there are plenty of other

classics from 40 years ago, not sure if there are any that are still being developed using the same

engine etc, JSW maybe unique in that respect? Sure I will be proven wrong!

I did have a special (sort of) JSW game in the works since perhaps April / May / June this year but had a bitlocker accident and lost the later builds, I do have an earlier build but no notes to go with it.

I had planned on (you've maybe seen on Spectrum Computing a year or so ago) the comparisions between platforms, I had thoughts of doing this with JSW too, only 'officially' released versions as such.

There's still a bit of time 😉 🙂

Congratulations for such a finding! 😃🙂

Boulder Dash on Commodore 64 perhaps? There are hundreds (at least) of homemade versions available on internet.

I haven´t checked though when the last ones have been made.
