Finally beaten Monty On The Run after nearly a year of trying! No save states, start to finish with two lives left.
I need a holiday after that. A short break away!
I wasn’t quick enough to get a screenie of the ending, but here’s the last screen and my high score!

Not much of an end screen, but a nice animation of Frank Nitty falling from the roof into a car.
That’s The Untouchables completed.
Onwards!

Finally finished Knightmare from @tomjamespotter.bsky.social!
Brilliant and faithful recreation of the much loved ITV show.
Rock hard game, but very satisfying completing it.
Shame there were no Catacombites, as I always found those terrifying as a child! Maybe for Knightmare 2?

@tomjamespotter.bsky.social Greetings! Loving Knightmare, truly a great recreation of the show! But I’m stuck! Folly keeps being mean to me!
The first two goes I got past his “Play Your Cards Right” puzzle, but haven’t been able to do it since! Is there a pattern to it, or is it just random?
Help!

If anyone fancies donating, I'm attempting to run the length from Gaza to Jerusalem over the course of a month, raising money for medical aid in Palestine.
Stride for Palestinians 2025
I am striding for Palestinians in aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). Starting on Nakba Day, I will be completing 107km in one month and virtually covering the distance from Occupied East Jerus

I haven’t tried to complete an Ultimate game since I finished Alien 8 last year. So let’s give Knight Lore a go.
I recall it being much easier than Alien 8!

Having complete Wanted Monty Mole and Monty is Innoncent must means it is time for Monty on the Run!
I’ve been looking forwards to this one! Hopefully it’s not as brutal as Wanted was!!

This is really sad. RZX Archive has long been the go to channel for Speccy walkthroughs. All those countless hours spent on these videos just gone puff :(
Very sad to learn that YouTube have removed RZX Archive's channel.
Both our sites and various other Spectrum sites and gamers have shared those videos for many years.
This take down is an even bigger problem since the owner of RZX Archive died a few years ago.
