Hi Pete Well, Drift! 2K22 is missing from the ZXDB as a standalone entry, but this is not exactly a game on its own, it's more like a revision from the 2019 game Drift! removing the intro and other things and adding one new car, a new loading screen and three new tracks, basically. https://www.zosya...

How was this recovered? Hi Dave According to my friend Javi Ortiz, Alberto recovered the game himself from his old cassette tapes recently. While Javi was visiting him, Alberto showed him Z80 Attack and Javi encourage him to release it as soon as possible. Since Alberto hasn't got his own itch.io w...

Hi everyone! Z80 Attack, game created by Joe McAlby [Alberto José González Pedraza], one of the founding members of New Frontier (later Bit Managers) around 1987/1988. All this when he was about 15 or 16 years old with the well-known CRL 3D Gamemaker. A new MIA rescued from oblivion, where the autho...

This looks like it could be awesome, but playing it through a spectrum next (N-Go) I get horrible player judder (motion sickness) when running with the ball. Is this how it should be, or a timing issue with running it through a Next (N-Go)? I recall that Voxeltower commented on the video above that...

The 2022 release of Mabus Mania Deluxe Edition is listed as an additional release of the original title.

Oh! It completely passed me by.

Thank you @PeterJ !

Hi Excellent work on this update, as usual. Congrats!! I've missed an entry for this game in the latest updates: MABUS MANIA DELUXE EDITION by Hicks. It was released on October 30th 2022 through the author's itch.io website: https://hicksretro.itch.io/mabus-mania-deluxe-edition-zx-spectrum Also, a p...

Hi

A new 128K football game by Voxeltower called Speccy Soccer is in the final stages of development. El Spectrumero Javi Ortiz shared this preview video on his Youtube channel a few weeks back.

Yes, most if not all Thalamus' covers are credited to Oli Frey and according to Mobygames Armalyte is not exception, despite there are some missing in that listing. https://www.mobygames.com/person/211736/oliver-frey/

Submariner (System 4): Rafael Estrada Per signature https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/4980/ZX-Spectrum/Submariner I've just credited Rafael Estrada as cover artist of Evaristo El Punky, Khazzad-Dum, Submariner and Cerius (System 4 release) through the Preservations Tool on ZXDB. Regards. Review...

Does it have almost the same map as the original (with small improvements) or is it significantly different? If it's different enough, then it would make sense to classify it as a sequel. But if it's almost the same with improvements, then it's more like a derived improved version of the original. ...

PROCESSED New ID created . @Audionautas can you upload a loading screen and run screen (as .scr) for this game please. I don't own this one. I don't own the game either, but I called a friend who owns the game and he will try to do some snapshots for me and I'll try to upload later today or tomorro...

Hi Rafael Estrada responded to my tweet asking for more titles, but the games he mentions are from MSX or PC-MSDOS as we can see on this list: https://computeremuzone.com/autor/R.%20Estrada Rafael Estrada: "Hace mucho tiempo, pero recuerdo alguna más: Tensión, Sports Puzzle, Superbingo, Sexy Pu...

We cross-posted. The signature on Evaristo el Punky and Khazzad-dum does look the same as Cerius and looks more like R Estrada. Neither Evaristo el Punky or Khazzad-dum have artists listed in ZXDB. Rafael Estrada just confirmed me on Twitter that he was the artist behind those System 4 covers: Evar...

Hi This new version of Nosy is still missing from the ZXDB. We have an entry for Nosy 48K from 2020, but as Andre Leao mentioned in his review, this new version from 2022 is a huge improvement over the first one, with four levels, 8 tunes of AY music and sound fx and a lot of improvements on the gra...

We cross-posted. The signature on Evaristo el Punky and Khazzad-dum does look the same as Cerius and looks more like R Estrada. Neither Evaristo el Punky or Khazzad-dum have artists listed in ZXDB. Yes, some Spanish cover artists are still missing in ZXDB. In coming weeks I will try to find out mor...

Cerius (System 4): P Estrado? Per signature https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/873/ZX-Spectrum/Cerius Hi I think the artist is Rafael Estrada. On Computer Emuzone he's credited as R. ESTRADA on two other System 4 releases. Evaristo el Punky (https://computeremuzone.com/ficha/450/evaristo-el-punk...

The Pawn Long suspected this was another Steve Weston. Signature is only visible on the poster available at https://msmemorial.if-legends.org/games.htm/pawn.php . This is one of the covers listed here: https://www.exotica.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=127 I think I used this source in the past to cr...

This looks like a little "SW" on Cybernoid 2 : Great find StooB !!. It looks like a "SW" for me too. What confuse me the most about this cover is the background art, those faces all over the cavern walls, it feels like a different painting techique, it's like a background made b...

Being from Zosya I suspect that all of this "rediscovered tape" stuff is just fiction of their own. I agree with Alessandro. I suspect we'll play this game sooner rather than later. Those animations and that parallax scrolling in the background don't come from a lost 80s or 90s game, no w...
