Sorry to necro this thread. Just wanted to say that I showed a whole bunch of year 7's and 8s some retro gaming on the Dragon today, and Flagon Bird went down a total storm. I have a lovely picture of an entire y8 class playing it, and one in the attachment in close up that I can show as I have parental permission- as it is my y7 daughter. Next time I will get them on Dunjunz, perhaps.
For the record- they thought it was really hard- 21 was the highest anyone managed in a lesson.
No, its thank you- and of course Sixxie for the wonderful X roar online.
I even got to waffle on a bit about the Dragon itself, old computing generally, and Microsoft BASIC- the pupils could relate to a lot of the history as we are close to Fforestfach, which is home to a big Tesco, so most know the area.
Any sequel will be eagerly anticipated!
Time to wake this thread up again - Flagon Bird, as well as Paul Shoemaker's games, have been very popular at this weekend's Retro Computer Festival in Cambridge. But I have a question for Steve - is the highest possible score 64? We had a young lad who THREE times (to everyone's astonishment) got to 64, but could get no further.
I still can't get beyond 6.

Hah, lovely Bit like the boy a few Dragon meets ago that did as well as I'd ever done on Blockdown on his first go. It's not that we're old though, right?
Interesting. I''l need to check the src to see if I capped the score at 64 - Flagon Lord, on the later version. As Rob says, it was certainly possible to go higher on the first version.

I suspect you imagined no one would ever go over 64 - but then along came this kid who did it three times! And it surprised me as I'd seen Rob's video where someone went into the 200s ...
