Re: ZXDS 2.2.2 and 1.4.1

yep, they are just regular .z80 files. I'll try to grab one from elsewhere and will let you know if it works.

I assume it's still just 'IO' and 'Load File' to load .z80s?

Re: ZXDS 2.2.2 and 1.4.1

I've got this set up and it is great but it won't load up any of my z80 files (it crashes all of them) but the online ROM finder works great.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Guess the screen$

No idea. I thought it might have been a terrible looking Gauntlet clone but beyond that I'm stumped.

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Keith Burkhill): vote

1. Gilligan's Gold
2. Missile Defence
3. Commando


I played Gilligan's Gold a lot. Not sure it was good though. It was bastardy hard.

I picked MD second hoping it was the version I used to play. I think it was.

Commando was a good conversion but very repetitive.

Re: Riding motorcycle through the forest

It may be sacrilegious around these parts to admit it, but I've never seen the appeal of Deathchase. You just accelerate to full speed, hold down fire, then dodge the trees until one of your bullets hits a target, which eventually it will. Once you get over the amazement of 3D tress whizzing past i...

What was the point of all those shooting range type sections in Combat School if you take on the final mission barehanded?

Re: Guess the screen$

Mad how these answers pop into your brain isn't it?

Anyway, here's one. It's a horrible one maybe but it's a normal, well-known game in the Speccy's popular period.

Re: Guess the screen$

Nope. Admittedly this is a pretty trivial detail in this game.
