I'd meant to prep this update so it could go live on Xmas Day.. Alas, Real Life got in the way!
- I was shocked and saddened to hear about Daren Pearcy passing away.
Daren was a long term colleague and friend, going back before The Tipshop was online.
He will be sadly missed.
- Hopefully the search boxes will now work without Chrome grumbling about mixed content.
Let me know if I've missed any, though!
- I added a POKE for my Hackers Anonymous counterpart Raymond Russell's game Blockz.
- Something a little bit different - content for Next games! Mike Mee sent in
POKEs and POK files for Astronuts (Next), Bubblegum Bros (Next)
and Montana Mike (Next).
- Andy Ford sent in additional POKEs for Manic Miner and Spellbound
as well as new POKEs for Batty and Invader Cube.
- Hippy Smith sent in lots of POK files in a ZIP. I've converted them back to
text for Tipshop, and included a link to the individual POK file.

Sunday 15 August 2021
Those paying attention might have noticed that largely due to people not
sending me enough new tips to warrant doing an update, there have been gaps
of up to 6 months between updates. For this update, things are slightly
different - it's 7 months. Ho hum. On with the update, I guess!

Chris Hester for letting me know I'd made a booboo.

- And that's it.. Aside from a lot of RZX entries, it's really not a
whole lot for 7 months - but if very few people send in tips, then - y'know...
If you know of tips/POKEs etc being posted on forums/Facebook, please
let me know - a lack of time means I don't follow those.
Saturday 02 January 2021
Happy New Year, Spec Chums! I was hoping to do this update for Xmas - but difficulties involving fermented apples got in the way (hic!)
- It's been a very quiet couple of months in terms of new tips - but an update is an update!
If anyone has any tips/POKEs/cheats/maps - you know where I am!
- Martin Møller Skarbiniks Pedersen contacted me to let me know that a couple of links
for maps weren't working properly. I did a little checking, and found I'd copy/pasted the same
