My second entry into the Remakes.org competition 2004.

Can't believe its 20 years since I played this game on my Spectrum! :)

The graphics are very "spectrummy", some of them maybe too much so.

I think giving the houses real height in 3d makes it look a bit better though.

Hope people get a bit of fun from the game.

I have binman (won it in a competition, but it's still shrink-wrapped)...

I'm sure its better than my version, 100% sure - but mine is £9.99 cheaper though. ;)

there's a big lot of trash out there - you never can have too much binmen :)

This is true... lol.

I have updated the game because it was suffering from the v1.87 crashouts with FMOD. :( Didn't know about this until the game was out. :(

v1.01
=====
Added facility to turn off the music.

Added code for 3Dfx users, to default into fullscreen.

Sound crashing bug fixed (hopefully) by reverting back to Blitz3D v1.86 (wasn't my fault, was the version of FMOD in Blitz3d v1.87!!)

TCK's Trashman is much more of an "authentic" Trashman than Binman is. For better or worse, they are actually quite different.

Congrats.

Me either. The first two look like complete crap. How'd they win??

Congrats mate. Well deserved.

I've played your game before and it's very good. I downloaded the two that beat you. The winner was made using one of those click and play software creators... and believe it or not is excellent! The 2nd place entry didn't impress me at all.
