Hello!

The lovely folks over at Planeta Sinclair reviewed the game and gave it a lovely 8/10

You can read that review here:

Hello again! Just me, talking to myself as usual ;) Well, the bundle is now over, and our grand total at the end was $6310 for Special Effect (https://www.specialeffect.org.uk) which is amazing! Thank you all so much, whether you bought the bundle, donated a game to it, promoted it - or all three! T...

Less than 12 hours left, with $5405 raised for Special Effect so far! :O

Hello! Me again! Couple of exciting things! At time of writing, we have reached $5053 raised for Special Effect, which is amazing. I keep saying this, and it becomes more sincere each time - thank you all! The second thing is that we finally managed to get a couple of extra items into the bundle - n...

WE DIT IT! \o/ This evening, we hit our goal of $4800 for Special Effect thanks to a very generous purchase of $85 Honestly I think I'm till in shock so I won't write much right now, just enough to say THANK YOU! :D Also, again, a reminder of what Special Effect does: https://www.specialeffect.org.u...

Another update! At time of writing we've collectively raised over $4100 for Special Effect and have four days(ish) left till we hit our target of $4800 :O Thank you all! That's amazing! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FRMdJXMXIAA32os?format=jpg&name=large A reminder of what Special Effect does: http...

Stunning stuff. Keeping my eye on all of this

A good bundle for a good cause. Purchased :) Thank you! Just an update here on the Speccy's 40th Birthday - we have so far raised over $3500, which is bloody amazing! Thank you! Here's a little montage of everything you get in the bundle so far! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FRDUg4fXMAAwEbz?format=jp...

I'm so glad you got it sorted and thanks for the support! \o/

@Quantum Sheep, I went to itch.io to get your Lava Birds game (as part of the bundle I bought last Saturday) and noticed that the other newly added games are not available for me to download? Do I need to buy the bundle again? :?: Or am I missing something (beside the newly added games, that is)? I...

Hey all, So, I made a new game called 'The Lava Birds'. Basically, the Earth is dead, and you play as Space Knight Nerys, visiting what used to be Liverpool, jumping around collecting the eggs of the vicious Lava Birds. The floor is lava! And if an egg falls into it, it'll hatch and you'll have the ...

Awesome!

What a great cause! I'll be giving this a go later!

Happy 40th and happy Anniversary of Liberation day! <3

OP edited @Quantum Sheep. Thank you! I knew as soon as I mentioned something we'd have to add something else! Jonathan Cauldwell has generously donated his game Albatrossity and his Speccy game making tool, MPAGD. Sorry to ask again so soon, but can we update the original page again? :O I use MPAGD...

Just a quick update! Three games have been added to the bundle thank to generous donors! Chez Maxime ZX by Highrise Ooze: The Escape by Bubblesoft Games Robot 1 in The Planet of Death by Prefim Thank you, you three! Much appreciated! :D Dear admins - is there any way to add these fine fellows and th...

Hey all! I just wanted to thank everyone for their support - the bundle has so far (at time of writing) raised over $2500 for Special Effect! That's incredible, and there's still 10 days left! :D The current target is $4800 so we're over half way there! If we reach that, the next target will be 16k ...

[/quote] Thanks so much for organising this. I’m not rich so only paid the $10 (which converted to £7.99) but hopefully a lot of people will get behind this wonderful idea. Hey, thank you for supporting the bundle! :) Bought it :) Very good bundle :) Just a note (as I told in another place): I would...

Hey all, hope you're doing good! :) Great news! The ZX Spectrum 40th Birthday Game Mix Bundle has gone live! You can find it here: https://itch.io/b/1343/the-zx-spectrum-40th-birthday-game-mix-tape Yay! :D The bundle is $10 for about 34 games worth around $55, which itch.io helpfully informs me is a...

Very exciting project. I think I've bought quite a few of these already on itch but will definitely be supporting it. It's for a great cause & it'll be worth picking up the ones I've missed! The Pat Mortia games are worth the entrance fee alone! :D I am in exactly the same boat! It's for a grea...

Hey everyone! Today (about an hour ago!) I set up the bundle :D It's looking awesome! There's over $50 worth of games in there (it's about $55 but it fluctuates due to exchange rates as the bundle is in dollars but some of the games are sold in Euros and Sterling as well). Here's a sneak peek: https...

LOVE this game - so many lovely little touches to it!

Hi all, another quick update! Well, we're nearly there! I had a concern that I couldn't give revenue directly to Special Effect, but we got round this by making the charity add a project page on their account. This means I can treat their project as a 'game', add it to the bundle, and give all the m...

@Quantum Sheep, There are loads on my emulator comparison spreadsheet. The ones with green highlighting at the bottom of the sheet have been updated recently. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=89424#p89424 Thank you Peter, I will certainly take a look at that! Any other recomme...
