@Mpk Hi there!! I think our last game of this year "Pirate Captain Creed: Adventure on Halloween Island" (Spectrum 48k, October 2023) is not included...

Cheers!

Hello PeterJ , thanks for your kind words... yes! as Andre said I am living in Japan since 15 years ago. The other half of Furillo (Molomazo) lives in Spain :D ... this game was a request of my daughter, she is Japanese and she asked me to make a game readable in Japanese (Misaki hiragana font). The...

Hello, we are very happy, it is having a very good feedback. Here you have some more images from the game, cheers! :) https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMjI4MDU5Ni8xMzUzNjI1OC5wbmc=/347x500/Sydksq.png https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMjI4MDU5Ni8xMzUyOTAxOC5wbmc=/347x500/%2BBUYJc.png https://img.itch.zone/aW...

Andre Leao thanks for sharing the news!!! :) Dear all, now English version available too! :dance https://furilloproductions.itch.io/the-dark-veil-el-velo-oscuro At the download button (it's free) . This is the first MuCho engine game including music (Shiru's Beepola engine). We rebuilt the engine t...

Dear all, thanks to the Retro Virtual Machine (https://www.retrovirtualmachine.org/), and the technical explanations of our kind colleagues, a big part of ZX Spectrum 48k games are now directly playable in your pc web browser for free (English version except one in Japanese), no need to download. Ju...

Hi ionut76 !! Thank you for your comment and for sharing your thoughts on the theme of the game. :) " Cursed Demons of Wallachia " is actually a tribute to the gothic movies from the 60s produced by Hammer Film Productions , specifically the portrayals of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing ...

R-Tape oh the scream, so happy you noticed it! I did it myself on purpose for the game. It is made with the wonderful "beepfx" by the also wonderful Shiru. I wanted it to sound like the typical "AIEEE" scream of the pulp magazines... :) trial error trial error until I felt it wa...

Dear all, thanks for your kind words. :oops: :) "Cursed Demons of Wallachia" is a little ZX Spectrum 48k game, a colourful platformer homage to the classic Hammer's Dracula gothic horror movies. It is available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzExOTY3NTQxLnBuZ...

EdToo , pavero Thank you very much! I want to share something that was explained in the presentation of the game only in Spanish but I forgot to mention in English, so I apologize: There are two Morse code hidden words in two of the songs/loops that are played along the game . One of them is quite ...

Thanks Andre Leao for showing a preview!! Dear all, Happy New Year 2023! hope you all the best this new year. We manage to publish our third ZX Spectrum game in 2022. The name is "The Void Bringer. The Backrooms: Level 711". A ZX Spectrum 128k game. As usual all for free: https://furillopr...

No-one had any thoughts on this one? I loved the aesthetic, and the gameplay was unique, if simple. As someone who can't do combos in fighting games at all, it was nice to have the arrows printed out for me to follow. I achieved Nirvana without too much difficulty. ( And also in the game. ) This is...

Dear all, thanks for the good words. If you find something strange, like an unexpected bug or something that does not work well please let me know. Be well and best regards!

To make the barrier to entry even lower, you may wish to consider a javascript based emulator on a web page. Good point! but that requires more than one file, downloading a zip containing the navigator, etc. It is not embedded into a single .exe file (which is for instance more useful for people wi...

[mention]Andre Leao[/mention] , thank you for your follow-up, my friend! :) Dear all, the application above is a Windows .exe file for Windows 10 or a recent Windows version (it will not work with Windows XP, Vista or 7). A single file including an emulator and our complete collection of 48k games i...

Dear all, just a quick message to confirm that we finally had time to publish the tool and files required to use the Japanese feature with the MK1 engine :D . Files and a guide are at this link: https://github.com/Iadvd/RetrocomputingZXSpectrum/tree/master/GameExamples/MisakiDemo/MK1_Tool To the for...

[mention]akeley[/mention] thank you, glad you like it!! yes, one week, except the new tool to convert to hiragana: that one was made in 2020 and took me around 1 week to think about it and make it. Cheers! :) This game was made in one week? Seriously? Wow. I think it's quite wonderful, especially lo...

[mention]Lethargeek[/mention] hey thanks for your support, it is really important the feedback. Regarding MK1, MK2 and MK3, this game "Yopparai Sarariiman" is quite special, we just had one week to prepare it and we wanted to show the hiragana features, so it was not our best moment / oppo...

[mention]TMD2003[/mention] yes, as you see it is possible, but tricky. The Hiragana set of characters requires more characters of 8 bytes each to be stored than our A-Z letters, for that reason if you want to store that set you need to use not only the a-z characters set storing place but the A-Z pl...

Dear all, we hope you like this game! We made a new tool for the MK1 engine in order to be able to write games with in-game texts in Japanese language (Hiragana, using a self made conversion of the classic Famicom 8-bit Misaki font), so this is game is intended as an example of use. It is also a &qu...

Thanks [mention]Andre Leao[/mention] , waiting anxiously for your in deep review. P.S. there is also a Jukebox .tap file including all the music tracks of the game all for free, give it a chance:

Cheers and have fun!

[mention]1024MAK[/mention] Thank you I will try next weekend. By the way, I forgot to mention that I bought another issue 2, and this one has the speaker working, so I will measure both and compare them. I'll be back.

[mention]1024MAK[/mention] Thank you, :) regarding D13, if faulty it should affect to the mic output... And I can hear clearly all sounds through the mic output with my headsets (keyboard clicks, loading sounds, music...)... so whatever is wrong it seems to be another component or the pcb circuitry ...

[mention]1024MAK[/mention] Hi! I am back with the results. It worked! I changed the two faulty chips ic15 and ic21 and the 48k memory is back!! The image is stable, memory ok... But still the speaker does not work :( This is the current picture: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Iadvd/Retrocomputing...

The diodes in the issue two are D9, D10 and D13. D9 and D10 are near to the loud speaker (do please check the wire connections to the speaker). D13 is near the ear socket. Does this board / machine still LOAD from tape okay? Does it SAVE to tape okay? Note to the admin/moderators, if you want to mo...
