Spectrum Computing

Some fine games here... a tough poll choice.

Leisure Geniuses Monopoly then the 2 Automata games, any order for me.

I imagine Blagger or Repton will win, but i have to say i really liked "Here Comes The Sun". Another adventure game, so thats my vote.

1. Here Comes The Sun
2. Son Of Blagger
3. Repton

Big fan of Transversion, this looks neat

In Spetaculator, it recognises the joystick is active and 1 will not work. I set the Joystick to "Disconnected" under the Control menu and 1 worked instantly.

I just tried the TZX in Spectaculator, it crashed immediately. But i was in ZX Spectrum +2A mode. Changed machine to "48k ZX Spectrum" and it loaded fine. I imagine it works in most emulators in 48k only mode.

edit// Also loads in "EightyOne" in "48k Spectrum" mode.

Its the same premise without the 2 side bars?

Problem is, when you start going over 10 or 15, it just becomes a list of good games. Quite true, but with over 10,000 to choose from, 100 is just the cream of the crop 1%. I feel my list (IMO) the games are all superb, widely loved great games that still stand up today. Rose tinted specs not inclu...

I know why top 10's become top 50's (even top 100's), because there are simply too many great Speccy games to limit it to 10. So here you go, breaking the mould (has anyone gone over 12 in this thread yet?)... Shortest list i can do, while being happy i haven't forgotten some goodies is 78. Many of ...

In no particular order and I've undoubtedly forgotten some gems: Knight Lore Highway Encounter Manic Miner Splitting Images/Split Personalities Jetpac Hypersports Quazatron Head Over Heels Three Weeks In Paradise Chase HQ Are you my clone? This list would be soooo close to mine. I'd drop Hypersport...

Sounds old don't it... I do mean the 2020's. Scrounge request. Has anyone sorted their "romz0rs" into yearly release sets and done the hard work of comparing SC's database against what a Tosec collection search might have pulled out? (Not all roms have the year on and not all recent roms a...

1. Cray 5 2. Los Amores De Brunilda (enjoy a good RPG) 3. Vade Retro (wacky exploring, keys, portals, gates and trains. Looks like a massive map) honorables... 4. Dungeons Of Gomilandia (Nice puzzler, well presented) 5. Sword Of Ianna (nice anims, but gameplay a bit clunky) 6. Genesis Dawn Of A New ...

This'll be it... Thanks.

Hmm, i had it on the first option. I played the first MM room, portal above toilet, screen 1. Second portal i came to (at the stairs with the Cross in it) was not flashing and i couldn't go in it. Nor the third or fourth portals i came across.

This is very cool. I completed the first portal to MM level 1. Found what looked like 3 more portals but none took me anywhere. Are they all portals to MM1, or is this a bug? Enjoying the game though

Playing all 16 of these games tonight on Twitch from 8pm UK time: https://twitch.tv/ReheatedPixels Gonna try to be there, but i have bookcases arriving so might be building furniture... I watched your past playthrough after the fact, fun watching you struggle with some of the games :) Especially th...

A really nice looking bunch of games here. Not played any but keen to try a few and put them in my 1G1R set... I'll be back.

YS for Bored of the rings and a nice scene demo.

U-Bend is ZX81 only ?
Its using the Chroma thing for colour on a zx81, i couldn't find the Speccy version.
