Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.
That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.
The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.
The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.
It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.
If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.
I'm playing the Amiga version. I want to re-enter my home (to get pillow) but I can't use NE direction from Garden. When I type NE I got a message that fences are blocking my way. How to get home?
Second thing: how to buy train ticket? It costs 20$ and I have enough money. Typing "buy ticket" etc. doesn't work.
Also there is a bug because at some point the same perfume appears in your pocket twice and is unusable.
Thanks for the comments! The house disappearing and making you unable to go back is actually part of the games mechanic as it's based on trial and error, so if you later realize that you might need something from home I'd suggest remembering that and taking it with you on your next run. Buying the ticket should work normally, perhaps you didn't take it? After you write "buy ticket" a "You put 20$... prints you a ticket" message should appear, after that you need to "take ticket" or else it will just stay in the machine. Thank you for pointing that perfume bug out! Fixing that bug for all versions would be a bit too much effort on our side but if we do release a bigger update (which is rather unlikely) we'll make sure to consider that one! If it causes any troubles like taking up too much space in the inventory, you can remove it by using "drop perfume".
Buying ticket does not work. When I type "buy ticket" computer asks "do you mean ticket machine or the train ticket?". I type "train ticket" and get "nothing is on sale" message. When I try to "take ticket" the answer is "that's fixed in place".
Dropping perfume when it appears twice in pocket is impossible. When I type "drop perfume" computer asks "do you mean the perfume or the perfume?".
I think that current release of "Memory Lane" (for Amiga at least) is bugged and needs an update. Posting the solution on-line could also be a good idea.
hullo! before i play this, i'd just like to say that on the ifdb, you have the story file set as 'no story file'. you actually have a z3 and a z5 file avaliable, so if you want to, feel free to update that description! now i'm gonna go play the game. thanks
Thanks for the comment and for playing the game. I've uploaded the file to the ifdb database a few days ago. I think, it takes some time until gets visible there.

Now it's in place at https://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/memorylane.z5
Thank you. I added it to the ifdb so that it can be played online directly from there:

Looking good! Tip: Story data blocks are marked as free on C64 disk, so if player saves on the disk it can destroy the game.
Thanks for your hint and for helping to fix it! :-)

The Spectrum +3 version requires CP/M. For further instructions also check: https://github.com/ByteProject/Puddle-BuildTools/tree/master/Build/Releases
