You drive around a forest shooting irritating blue pixies that have a habit of running around and trying to bash up your car. Source code included (for what it's worth!). Has music (a bit of Bach) and sound effects. Has lots of problems - not least the really bad slowdowns that I can't figure out, or the sound that is supposed to play when you shoot a pixie, but doesn't. Anyway, check it out. It's unfinished - you can't win, and you can't die. Usual direction keys plus: X - forward, O reverse, R1 fire, L1 switch views. It was written in 2 days during the Yaroze short course I attended at the end of July at Middlesex Uni. Haven't touched it since then - have been working on my 2D game that I will upload soon. 'Pixies' is actually the first 'game' I've ever written, unless you count my Shockwave version of the Lords of Midnight, which I never finished - story of my life - anyway, you can check that out too, if you're a ZX Spectrum fan, at http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~philg Cheers Phil
