Re: Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh (ST Adaptation)
What about copyrights? I'd like to port some games from Amiga to ZX Spectrum Next just for fun not profit, but copyright issues, especially regarding to graphics, discourage me. I wrote an email to Peter Johnson telling him that I'd been having a go at making a Sam version using his ST graphics and...

Re: Manic Miner: Deeper and Down
This looks amazing! I was lucky enough to get to play the Sam version at RetCon last year and was very impressed, it's very cool to see the Sam logo on a spectrum screen! Are there any plans to make a version of the full game to work on the Sam? As a 128k game it will need some help to get it runnin...

Re: Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh (ST Adaptation)
https://i.postimg.cc/sMnm6y0Z/arkdemo.gif I'm sorry for the delay, I've finally had a bit of time to get this into a more working state. There's still plenty to do but I thought it was good enough for a quick teaser showing what it's looking like. I'm not sure why the image came out so small here, ...

Re: Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh (ST Adaptation)
May have to buy a mouse interface as mine got misplaced during a move. Could be worth it though Definitely! I put it off for a long time but it's really useful to have, and not just for the games that make use of it. I used it for my Arkanoid level editor and also my sound FX editor and now I could...

Re: Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh (ST Adaptation)
Maybe like in modern versions of Arkanoid: Eternal Battle: Well, that's very interesting! Thanks for the heads up, I'd never heard of this before. I've had a quick look at the gameplay on youtube and my initial thought is that the modern game looks considerably easier than the old versions, so the ...

Re: Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh (ST Adaptation)
Oh - this may be an obvious question, but Keyboard is ok as well as mouse? I'm afraid not! This is mouse only and I really can't see how you'd make keyboard or joystick input work for Arkanoid. You need to be able to get from one side of the screen to the other instantly to have any kind of a chanc...

Re: Why didn't the Spectrum have many Roguelikes?
There’s also Master of Magic, although I can’t remember if it’s randomly generated dungeons and the playing area is absolutely tiny I loved Master of Magic BITD! The dungeon isn't randomly generated but it has a really nice 'real-time' feel that made it very compelling. I still play it on the Sam o...

Re: Arkanoid II: Revenge of Doh (ST Adaptation)
Thanks to Gordon for posting about this here, I lurked for a bit and now I've made an account. What a great forum! :D Everything is going well so far, but I have a couple of backup plans just in case the Sam starts to struggle with the large sprites from the Atari ST version. I'm only using the HEXD...
