Spectrum Computing

We've already got it, ported in 2014 by Trefi and Tiboh: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/30073 :) Blimey, you're right! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TP171sPJw8 Also worth mentioning another quirky modern platform game conversion: "Nothing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtksG-w...

I think Keith Stuart has compiled an excellent list here, with a nice mix of machines, and no shortage of reference to the 8-bit era. I'm personally happy that YS made top ten :dance Interesting to note that the 18 magazines in this list represents less than 1 in 5 of the total British videogames pu...

Yes that's gotta be the ultimate one, I very nearly mentioned it!

Had a quick look at a video of IWBTG and it looks fun. Doesn't look easy to me, looks hard, maybe even cruel. Though not as cruel as "World's Hardest Game" - another awesome title that would be fun to convert to the Speccy. I think the most distinctive feature of IWBTG is the tiny little s...

Maybe I'm a bit old but beyond the Speccy, my only knowledge of YouTube videogame reviewers is AVGN I think twentysomethings these days seem to have a general knowledge of YouTube celebrities that we don't. Certainly I don't!

Am I the only one who's never heard of "IWBTG"?

Gotcha. Bit like how I approximated the phrase "Hey Mickey!" in this recent tune.

How exactly are you planning on synthesizing vocals?

There's a video review of v2.5 here . It's Russian but you can skip through for a quick visual summary of the nice features of this version. I do need some templates and compatible samples to try out before I take a crack at making my own. Templates aren't needed, but it's definitely useful to have ...

So, I found this old thing that somebody was working on Fascinating! Running this is a bit over my head, but could this actually convert a game music file into a vortex tracker? I didn't even think that was possible. As for which tracker, I've tinkered with Deflemask and I know Furnace is the ultim...

Wow, Prophyt, you did it! I was starting to think this one was impossible. I thought about Noah's Ark games but the word is in the title. Very well done!

My best mate and I spent a lot of our time on Target Renegade and Rampage. Oh yeah, the three of us played Rampage a lot, too! :-) Terrific fun! https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/SCRtoImage.php?SCR=pub/sinclair/screens/load/r/scr/Rampage.scr&border=0 https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/SCRtoImage.php...

If you like non-standard time signatures, Tim Follin is your man!



And here's a nice one from Doctor Who…

Curious little puzzle game. Good music!

Agreed; I'm excited about it!

To my ears, the singer from OMD did have a lot of vibrato with a loose pitch. Maybe I overdid it though. I'll fix it though on my next revision!

Love the site! Fantastic. Looks great! Would love your feedback and suggestions though. A few humble suggestions off the top of my head… 1. On the main banner image, maybe you could add a bunch of game covers to the right side, to show what the site is all about and make it more exciting? The list o...

Which bit? Do you mean one of the parts has too much vibrato?

ParadigmShifter wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 11:40 pm That's good but it needs the lyrical melody as well I think.

No problem, I've extended and improved it!

ParadigmShifter wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:39 pm It's not a very good rendition of the tune

This any better? Just knocked this up!

Answered within 5 minutes! God bless the internet! I could have answered, too, had I been quicker.

Now this is a nice conversation. Not just recalling games, but whom we played with. Do share, folks!

Hello, my pink friend :lol: Gee, how could I not have heard of Gee Bee before? Looks like fun. Pete Prodge did a nice summary of all the Breakout clones on the Speccy last year. He's amazing at collecting data and facts together, one of the best and most prolific thread starters here! There are one ...
