I have now consumed a large amount of pasta and my plan for the day has evolved accordingly. It is now focused on finding an old ZX Spectrum game. I have no idea what this game was called, and actually I barely remember anything about it at all. But I must find it. All I remember is that it was an adventure game, there were villages or towns involved, one of them was called Parma. I only remember this because of my surprise when I found out Parma was a real place, and the people there apparently were not all pixelated. Um, and in this game you could go into inns and things, and they'd tell you to go away usually. That's all I remember.

Wow, I'm sad.

Somewhere I have a hand-held game called Wizards & Warriors where the warrior has to recue the princess from the evil wizard by grabbing a key while trying to escape fire balls and deadly bats. They are all pixelated, you made me remember it and now I'm going to have to find it!

huh. it wasn't one of the Ultimas, was it?

It's called ParmaTown!

Knightlore or Nightshade maybe?

"Nightshade is, as you might have begun to suspect, more of the same the brilliant 3D graphics system of Knight Lore and Alien 8 juiced up and improved to simulate a mediaeval village. Somehow the programmers have managed to get colour into the screens.
Outside a house

In order to see your little hero in the narrow village lanes one or two walls drop out of the picture, remaining as white lines on the screen. That system does, however, allow for some, wonderfully detailed views of inns, barns and the like...."

And you're less sad than people who Google for a few minutes to look for your missing Speecy games ;)
