 		I can't honestly believe this is a DECADE ago!!
It's scary to think that, ten years ago, I was making piddly little games that are, in many ways, exactly the sodding same as my current piddly little games!!

Green's Tiny 8bit Collection


The date of the final release is the 6th of May, 2003. That makes this release 10 years old, today.
TEN!?
Yikes!!

Time sure as hell flies, doesn't it!?

Back then, we were all hanging around on BlitzCoder, having fun, and enjoying the coding.
That was before all that Idigidragon shit happened.

    Menu 3
    1 JNKTiny Oh Mummy - Took a while before I could be arsed adding AI.. (God, I'm lazy sometimes ) Was hidden in releases 1-3, without AI.. Eventually added To release 4.

    Happy Little Easter Egg

    On the titlescreen hit the Amstrad's reset keys.. Ctrl+Shift+"That key to the left of the 1" (I'd've made it Ctrl+Shift+Escape, but Windows uses that to open Task Manager! Someone at MS must've been a CPC fan!)

    Resetting the machine will take you to the Basic CPC Frontend, where you can code a piddly little text thing. I never got around to adding much to the little engine, so it's limited to just Print, Locate, CLS, Run, GOTO, and simple list, load, save commands. Nothing magical, and pretty shit, but it's from a decade ago, so no whinging!!
