Re: Which ZX Spectrum game is most deserving of a sequel?
For the glory of necroposting...I'd say these types of initiatives fits well with a longstanding dream of trying a more decent Nightshade. Be It a sequell, a remake/demake or an enhancement, making It more RPG and puzzle-ish would have been great. Add to it a bit of strategy and you get a hit. I was...

Re: The Atari 2600 games library vs The ZX Spectrum's
Just remembered, back in 1982 or so, when 8 yo, a child flushed my colored pencils down the toilet, and to compensate me, he invited me to his house to play something new. This, which seems like some cheap plot or script, was the first time I saw a domestic video game (not the small Game&Watch t...

Re: How is a 3D game like Ant Attack implemented?
Slightly off topic but strongly related to the artistic techniques employed, I wanted to add this little study me and a friend did to better understand the graphics generation in isometric landscapes. Well, it's in spanish but it tries to explain graphically; in fact it helped a lot to advance an is...

Re: new life for QuickshotIV
Very kind your words, gentlemen (and your photos). So it looks like I was hoping in vain to be everything this more straightforward. The key is that being physically compatible to a DB9 COM I thought that was enough, while it's all wired internally in an Atari fashion. Great to see so many models wi...

Re: new life for QuickshotIV
Um, are you sure it connects to a RS232 serial port on a PC? Mark Of course. In fact it connects ' physically' Problem is, there is no device drivers to make good use. It's a DB9 typical COM.

new life for QuickshotIV
Greetings chaps!
As title of post said, I look forward to take advantage of owning an old joystick that as you know, has RS 232 interface (COM)
Any advice? I.E. Tutorial, manual. . . Important to note that I mean using it on the COM port, ibmPC
