Well guess we'll have to make do with the "Love Shack".

Hey, I got an idea, how about everyone change their minds right after I import the song! Well, Erik agreed to it (via PM), so it stays.

Trust me, if you want to hear a poorly written '80s song, listen to The Final Countdown.

Least that guy can sing in that song - Popcorn doesn't even do
that. Everyone knows I hate Popcorn here, so your added it for
spite. Trust me - you'll end up with Brain Damage. Don't come
crawling back to me crying about it.

Not really if it's goin' to draw people to hunt down & shoot
Vintage Computers. Perhaps removing the boxes is a good idea
after all?

Okay, now I need help choosing a song for the main gameplay. "Spirits in the Material World" or "Too Much Information"? (both Erik's suggestions)

I've heard neither, so I can't possibly decide.

(By the way, if Popcorn was good enough for a Tetris sequal, then it's good enough for the game...)

Sounds like Too much Information to me!

They seemed to be very wise & dropped it on the CPC versions -
the outcome might of been different if they hadn't.

Okay, Too Much Information it is. I'll have to run these MP3's through good 'ol GoldWave, as the game is closing in on 15MB. Hopefully GoldWave will take 5MB off that...

Beta 5 is now available!

Updates:

-Redid some dialouge in the game
-Added 2 songs into gameplay (read above posts)
-Added 2 easter eggs
-minor graphical changes

I've also included an executable version of the game, for our dial-up friends. It'll still try to download the video off the internet, but at least it won't crash if it can't get it. However, if you ARE connected to the internet, there will be a short delay before the window appears. (I set it to download the the video before frame 1) Maybe I can work out a load screen or something...

If I remember correctly, there's currently 8 Stages. By the final release, I plan for there to be 15 Stages...

Remember, all releases can be found at:

Awsome! *Guitar Solo*

I'd also like to add that it kinda sucks that the US channels don't air BBC shows very often. (&, more or less, vice-versa) I mean, do you know how much I'd love to see "The Secret Lifes of Machines" right now (Sorry if I miss-spelt that...)?

We DO have BBC America though...

(Random thought of the day: "Damn, right when I decide to download Windows Vista (Premium Ed.), Microsoft cuts the Customer Preview Program!")
 
BBC America? The legends were true!
Seriously, I didn't know there was one.
As fer Doctor Who, is it the new series (which, btw is better than the old ones) or the old ones, where you can see the strings?
