Spectrum Computing

Fantastic, this looks to be a bit different & very intriguing. Great stuff.

There were other people having the same idea :) https://planetasinclair.blogspot.com/2024/02/premier-iii.html :o :o :o :o No way!! That's incredible. What an obscure game for that to have happened on completely separately...then to be unearthed within months of each other! :lol: PeteProdge yeah, I ...

Fun fact, this was the inspiration for Dazza's room in Golden Joystick.

Beautiful!

I've spent quite a few years thinking about getting a 3D printer, for one reason & one reason only, to cover up my old divIDE. In the meantime, I'm using Lego ...

Yeah, you may have a point, Renegade/Target Renegade set the bar so high, that amazing artwork in the ads, then to cap it all that utterly shameless Crash review set expectations to a colossal level. Had it have been a budget game with nothing to do with the series, called "Time Punk" then...

On the database it has a vote for every score 1 to 10, I wonder if it's the only game that has that? https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/4090/ZX-Spectrum/Renegade_III https://i.postimg.cc/VJYW3MnP/Screenshot-2024-04-17-06-16-34-090-edit-com-android-chrome.jpg Not sure I'd want to take a trip into ...

This looks fantastic! Really intuitive.

I'm especially excited by the prospect of having a Next game creator in the pipeline!

Oooh keeping an eye on this thread, I have a tape I really want to save as a TAP file.

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/pub/sinclair/screens/in-game/m/Maglaxians.gif I always return to Maglaxians . It just cheers me up, and reminds me that I may never tire of platform games. You probably couldn't get more 'oldschool' and 'bedroom' if you tried. 23 lives, I reached level 10... of 128! ...

Pippo?

Reminds me of the Jonny Cabs from Total Recall.

It's odd, there's 3 games there where I have definite memories of playing the absolute heck out of the demos & really enjoying them, but never getting the full game (19, Skate Crazy & Mad Mix)

All 3 I got to play through emulation years later & was pretty disappointed with.

Christmas '83 it came with Horizons and we got Pool, Hunchback and Football Manager. Played all 3 to death, still love Pool & FM, have a bit of a love/hate thing with Hunchback.

I don't know about having to reveal how many levels there are, there seems to be a rush to have walkthroughs & spoilers for absolutely every single element of pretty much every brand new Speccy game within moments of release (especially when Devs have spent months crafting them), so it's nice to...

If I was to pick a dozen games that defined the Spectrum there'd probably be a decent crossover with that list, not bad when there's tens of thousands of them!

After reading Pete's summary, I don't think I'll bother reading the actual article.

Freddie Lakers Airline Capers - backstory, from the other forum, is here :lol: Love this. When I read the opening post I was thinking that if someone did that, then there'd be Boffins who would be able to work through the code & discover that it was much more recent. Must have a crack at the ga...

Now if some boffin could remake Deathchase for the Next & make it compatible with the Driving Controller, that'd be incredible!

I've only recently been able to pick up my Next & I'm really impressed with it. One of the unexpected bonuses is that the excellent game Bikers allows you to use the Atari 2600's driving controller, which is incredible, I absolutely love being able to use the spinner controls. They obviously wor...

One of my favourite Atari 2600 games "Jawbreaker" was a bit like that.



Would love to see a Speccy or even a Next remake of that.

This game is absolutely class, loads of creativity on show. Lots of fun.
