Spectrum Computing

I have heard that the SAM scene is much-derided in the Spectrum community at large, because there's so little activity, and what little there is going on takes so long to happen... and that reputation is not entirely undeserved, I guess... but there is stuff happening. I've been assisting on an upd...

@Ivanzx I know a few, mostly working on the SAM Coupé rather than the Spectrum... and all currently busy with their own ongoing projects. The main stopping point with this adventure is the lack of story. No story means no characters, no puzzles, no objectives, etc. The few graphics I have might be ...

These are very interesting screens and concept of game. Maybe a coder here feels like finishing a game with these?
Or do you know any, @HEXdidnt '?

It is for sale now here, unlisted in the archive:

Oure is fairly simplistic (completed it on my first go but, to be fair, I've yet to do so again!), Neadeital looks fantastic, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, or how (making it very true to the Gargoyle adventures, from my perspective). I agree in the games, Oure is kind of short b...

By the way, Ricardo Pinho will work on the inlay next month. He was the guy behind the graphics of City Connection...

Hi Andre! Did Ricardo have some time to put the inlay together?

You won´t be disappointed, they are top notch

Yes, in that page, just below where it says "TWITTER", it also reads "Play my adventures"

If so, they are MIA except for one, that was just included in today´s update (where did the moon go?)

At the right side of the screen. It states that they were made with Adventuron, so I guess they are for the ZX (or Next).

Nice to see you here, Skaepoy! Also, curious to see those 2 finnish games, incredible that the Speccy managed to reach so many different countries. It is crazy to think that at any given moment of 1984, there was a person in countless countries, typing up something for the Spectrum. Also, as I have ...

They have amazingly good Spectrum games, one of the Top Spectrum groups nowadays for sure

That would be great, Bob
Maybe a password system for the cassette release would be also great, as I tried to beat the game and it was really hard!

If you have a point to make about the description of a YouTube video, please include or at least make mention of the description in your post, rather than link to an embedded video in which the description does not appear. Seriously? I am out of this discussion, I am not even going to play the game...

Is this a joke? The video you share does not even mention Kayamon. It shows the game only credited to WorldofSpectrum.org. Even if there is some YouTuber out there who gets it wrong, it seems quite unreasonable to blame Kayamon for it when he clearly credited only WorldofSpectrum.org, not himself. ...

That's not correct. He credited it to World of Spectrum, not himself. But why he appears to be the only author in the Spectrum Show video then? Also in another video appears: conversion by Kayamon and members of WoS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrYAijTFPSw If this was a community effort, maybe ...

Aren´t the Futurewas8bits based on Finland?

Kayamon credited only himself, when there were other people involved? Does not seem a very right thing to do

Yep, both versions (Erbe, Hit Squad) 128K have the same changes compared to the original 128K release from Ocean. It's kind of funny Erbe may change code sometimes to try fixing issues. In the C64 Gryzor release from Erbe, most of the third level is missing and 2 sound effects are swapped which mak...

From what we know, Erbe used to change the code for some releases, correcting possible issues. It is maybe possible that the Hit-Squad release is the same one as the Erbe one?

It was the spanish release, so I highly doubt that there were any feelings involved in there

Eons ago :D I organised the compo Spanish coin-ops in your Spectrum. At the end of it, we released a cassette with Retroworks as publisher, where all the games that participated, 4, were included. Here more info about it: http://www.retroworks.es/php/blog.php?id=205 Only 25 tapes were created and so...

The author of the game Senku, published in Microhobby, is not from Spain, but Uruguay:

North And South is, and has always been, compatible with the +2A+3. The +3 disk version actually contains more features: a custom font and the train chase scene. On the other hand, Frank Bruno's Boxing was not. There is even a cure for it on my website. Scooby Doo is actually compatible with the +2...

By the way, and going back a bit to the "not totally correct statements made back in the day" :) see this?: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/zxdb/sinclair/entries/0004365/Scooby-Doo(Encore).jpg Guess who has been playing it in his +2A today... yes :D and flawlessly. Also, I remember North a...

I think Gem Chaser 1 and 2 never got a Cronosoft release either
