  2. Hi, it's me, back on my gig of documenting the fonts of British microcomputers. An advert for Repton 2: fontsinuse.com/uses/64732/rept

    but thanks to @fhardwig for identifying the missing font as Steve (not Dave).

  3. Biodiversity under the wheels near Repton

    "ANGELA Wallace is one of many people upset about the number of koalas being killed on local roads....Little has been done to mitigate these deaths, with another koala recently killed near Repton. “No wonder our iconic koala (dunggirr) is endangered with our roads as ‘killing zones’, deforestation [causing a] loss of habitat, and them trying to survive extreme weather events such as fires and floods.”

    "She pointed out that where the koala died, the wildlife fence nearby was thickly overgrown with lantana and a nearby underpass was almost impenetrable due to a mass of lantana."

    If an injured, sick or orphaned native animal is found, WIRES can be contacted on 1300 094 737.

  4. So Ripton, despite being a Repton piss-take with level names like Iguanus (og: Iguana) and Giant crap (Giant clam), is somehow… actually good… the levels are well designed & challenging. I bet the dev was very happy when Repton 3 came out next year with an editor. I wonder if they made any levels?

  5. Thought it about time I finished a game instead of having several *coming soon* games. So here we go ...

  6. As mastodon has a 16mb size limit on gifs, I cant upload a screen shot here. So here it is on that other (good) site :)

  7. Doing a charity stream today at 6:30BST (i.e. in about half an hour). Will be trying to raise money for westcheshire.foodbank.org.uk/ which is the foodbank for my home town, while streaming Repton: The Lost Realms for the BBC Micro. Expect a higher than average number of rants about Tories (all opinions my own, not the charity's).

    This game is a remaster of an unreleased 1988 sequel to Repton 3, which was found and remastered by retrosoftware.co.uk they released a limited number of physical copies on 5.25" floppy disc, then stopped selling it. When I contacted them about obtaining a copy, they told me to make a donation to a foodbank, send the receipt and they'd send me the disk image for free. I did that, but figured I could go further... I've been meaning to look into the Twitch charity stuff for a while and this gave me a kick up the arse

  8. Well I think I'm done with Life of #Repton. Not only did that last level completely break me, but I then moved on to the senior citizen levels and was immediately hit with both invisible tiles and a "wife bad" joke and I don't wanna stream that.

    Sucks that it had to end on such a negative note, but oh well, not the first time I've abandoned a retro game for shitty harmful "humour" and probably won't be the last.

    Taking requests/recomendations for the next #BBCMicro game to play next Wednesday.

  9. Time for some more #BBCMicro content. Last time we played, Punk #Repton became a sellout working for a corp. Boo! - still want to find out what happens though.

  10. Our favourite 80s puzzle solving lizard man is now in his teenage rebellion years, where will he end up after this?

  11. Another fun stream. We moved on from baby #Repton to schoolboy Repton, which means we're now collecting sweets and we have to murder 1980s teachers using giant footballs which was somewhat cathartic for me, and far preferable to the dogs that hounded baby Repton!

    Randomly raided MeenaCrowe, because after a #BBCMicro stream I love to raid cute VTubers who stream non-console retro games :3

  12. That was much fun, took a while to get my head around the new texture pack, and probably confusing that I was referring to the items by their original names (though TBF the map uses the original graphics too), but we got to screen G (REUNION) of the "Baby" stage of Life of #Repton, then raided @Mogubea

    Probably not gonna be streaming until Tuesday 3rd, where I'll be trying to get back to a normal schedule again, so have a good new year!

  13. Looks like I'm not taking a #Repton break after all, going live with "The Life of Repton" from 1987!

  14. I have now completed every level of #Repton 3. Those last three were pure hell. So easy to screw yourself over, and so many resets needed. Almost cried a few times

    I guess I could move on to the expansion packs, but might take a Repton break for a bit!

    Annoyingly the Z key on my Beeb broke mid-stream so I had to finish it on an emulator. Guess I'll be doing more #Amiga content until I can get that key fixed since most games need it :(

    We randomly raided RionaVT

  15. Live in a few mins, We're now into the third level pack of #Repton 3 and the difficulty is seriously starting to ramp up

  16. So finished the second #Repton 3 level pack and started on the third. Only managed two levels in the time remaining and bloody hell they were hard. Tomorrow is level 3 (CONTROL) and yes I'm posting the passcode so that I can look it up when I inevitibly forget.

    Here's a sneak preview of the horror that awaits me.

    Annoyingly this game runs pillarboxed even in its native 4:3 so my layout gives massive black borders. Not much I can do about it :(

  17. Once again going live. I'm halfway through Repton 3's second level pack, lets see if we can finish it.

  18. So I think that's the end of #WutGamesWeek. Repton 3 was a lot of fun though, and seemed to be a good stream game. It's still really really playable, even if this level properly kicked my arse I still recommend it!

  19. Time for another "Draws old buildings" sketch. Which one this time, I wonder? (10 total, by the time all of these are posted, so this is 3/10)

    Tudor Lodge, #Repton, #Derbyshire

    Trying a different style of writing the image description tonight after reading the excellent guide I boosted a short while ago.
