garethj Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 In that, it's File, Save Snapshot. Don't bother using the in-game save options.Ta, I'll give it a goWant to swap it for a Renault 14? Low on miles.....No thanks! I've only just managed to get shot of a Lotus Elan, I felt like that BL dealer on the North Circular with stock that hasn't changed in 15 years....
RedSparrow Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hey, check out my forecourt. Had trouble shifting the Fiat. Still, only £20 for a new engine. Hey-ho.
pogweasel Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 hey, how the frick do you get this game to work?I tried to download it then my computer had a RIGHT SPAZ because it was a .tzx file
Mr Lobster Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 /\ Instruction plz. I want to be downloading this myself then I can spend half the night selling motas.
RedSparrow Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I would recommend the emulator ZX Spin, on this page (scroll down a bit): http://www.worldofspectrum.org/emulators.html Install it, run it, go to load file and open the .TAP or .TZX file (newwhe_1.tap or similar)
Ratdat Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I got it working but it won't recognise my arrow keys
RedSparrow Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I got it working but it won't recognise my arrow keys I had that problem. try number pad keys, its 6 for down and 7 for up on my computer.
Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Arrow keys are numbers like RS says, in this game you'll only use 6/7 though (5 is left and 8 is right). Took me a while to figure out! I have to use the ones on the top strip as they don't work on the number pad on the emulator I use.Here's my personal tips for the game, seeing as this great game barely seems to exist on the Internet! It's fantastic how it has been unveiled to an audience who seems to appreciate it.- When you're setting the opening hours, take two days a week off and make one Wednesday (so you can go to the auctions), otherwise your missus will leave you and you'll eventually go off with stress.- Don't buy high-mileage cars, it's not worth it! If you get a part-exchange one, don't offer much, stick it in the trade stock and let a trader have it (probably at a minor loss). Never put them up for sale as stock, even cheaply they will be sat around for ages. By all means clock them, though. Just don't do it often or take them down too far.- If most of your days result in no people turning up, increase your advertising budget.- Try to stock a varied selection of cars at different values, this will give you the best chance of getting a sale, then you won't be turning away people who only have £500 to spend (a great way of recycling rubbish part-exchanges).- Keep a healthy balance between unusual/ordinary stock - if you've just got a load of Astras and Cortinas it's inevitable that the only people who turn up will specifically want Alfettas and the likes.- If someone asks for a bit of stock which you haven't got, try cars from the same make or of a similar configuration, I once managed to sell a Cortina to someone who actually wanted a Renault 11.
warren t claim Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Keep getting a message saying WinRar is not a free download! Anyway around this?
HillmanImp Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 If you click on the It opens it up in a new window and you can play online. Make sure you pick cursors as joystick though.
r.welfare Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Damn. Haven't sold a car for a whole month. Serves me right for filling my forecourt with Granada Ghias, while all the punters want are Citroen GSs, Audi 100s and cars for less than £750.Great game though. Is there any way of making Fuse open into a bigger window?
HillmanImp Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I have stockpiled several Mk2 escorts which i am not selling. i am going to keep them in the back of the lockup until 2008 and then flog them to a bunch of overpaid accountants in the middle of a midlife crisis that want a decent shell to spend squillions on for 'My rally replica, okay ya'.
RedSparrow Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Micromen is repeated tonight. Might have to watch it again.Forgot to go to my dads to pick up the retro computing equipment. Won't have a chance til Wednesday now. Darn!
Richard Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Great game though. Is there any way of making Fuse open into a bigger window?I think that's just the resolution you get with a Spectrum. I was going to try reducing the computer's resolution to make it bigger.
Guest Tony Hayers Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Hirst, that game is brilliant Ive been playing it for the last 4 hours and ended up broke when the recievers stepped in. My tip - The Renna 14 does not sell quickly Buy the XR4, you know you want to. All I was offered in the auction was a poxy 1.6L Sierra and various Montegos, 3i's and a Nova! And this thread should be made a sticky, so as not to forget this game.
MrDuke Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Was someone after a Stanza? Lucky first auction? Unlucky first punter, though. "Madam, does this look like the kind of establishment which would encourage the purchase of *COUGH* Renaults???"
Guest Tony Hayers Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Was someone after a Stanza? Will trade you my 14 and Monty Gl for the Stanza? And im bleeding cuttin' myself to the bone guv.
Mr Lobster Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Ha! This is superb. Surprisingly absorbing. Sold an Alfasud, R11, a clocked Fiesta and a Datsun Cherry. Mrs L thinks I'm mad of course...
brammy777 Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Ive only sold a 1.3 Metro so far, and someone keeps nicking my Astras engine. LEAVE IT IN THERE
trigger Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Have any of you kissed a girl Not since is started playing it yesterday! I wonder if there is a way of getting it to work on a PSP, it would be a great time killer when i'm on a nightshift.
andrew e Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I find sleeping on a night shift most agreeable
warren t claim Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Three punters in a row have told me they dont like the Stanza's interior...No taste these people!
MrDuke Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Three punters in a row have told me they dont like the Stanza's interior...No taste these people!It was probably the bright red option... would've been fine if it were beige!In an unexpected but ultra-realistic twist, a total time-waster expressed interest in all 5 of my fleet, and even took one out for a drive, before making his pathetic excuses and running away. Tosser.

Pillock Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I wonder if there is a way of getting it to work on a PSP, it would be a great time killer when i'm on a nightshift.Yes. You need to be a "leet hack0r" though, i.e. have a PSP with custom firmware. Then you can run a spectrum emulator on it.
warren t claim Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Now the Council want to evict me for having too many shite px's!!!
Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Have any of you kissed a girl Look who ended up with a VIC-20 for Christmas! Useful things, those supermarket free ads.
Richard Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I accidentally bought a Granada Ghia that stands me in £7225. Nobody wants it, even though I've clocked it back to 2k.
Richard Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Finally shifted the Astra. I'll not be buying another of those in a hurry.
