I’ve widened the width of this blog! Yay let’s all have a party! Ok it’s not that big a deal but it does mean I can fit some Amiga size screenshots in now without having to scale them down and in the process losing that retrotastic scanline effect I like to add.
To start it off here’s something I found recently from 1994. It’s an old screen mock up of a game I was going to do with a couple of old mates of mine called TMR-II for the PC. For those interested the art was drawn using Brilliance on an Amiga A1200.
Revisiting 1995: The Sensible Golf level editor

It’s screen shot time again folks! I’ve taken it upon myself to provide a few screen shots for the GamesTM article that’s currently being written. ‘Yeah no probs’ I said thinking I’d load up the old Amiga emulator, take a few screen shots and be out in time for the virtual pub to open.. Nope!
Hang about, go back to the start, what am I talking about ‘again’ I’ve not done any for a while, damn I must be getting on a bit as I’m time warping back to 1995 and the many hours, days, months spent designing and editing golf courses for Sensible Golf. Strange.
Anyway as I was saying it took a bit longer than I thought but after several failed attempts to get me USB joystick working,(subject of a later post) I managed to sort out the shots as promised and just as I was about to close down the emulator I saw a disk image of the Sensible Golf map editor. Hmmm.. I wonder if it works? And if it does work will I be able to actually use it again? (cue tick tock music) It loads! Cool I thought… then.. well.. that’s about as far as I got. The memory banks that stored the ‘how to use it guide’ have become somewhat corrupted so I’m relying on that old favourite , trial and error.
