Spectrum Computing

This is definitely, one of the best Spectrum games ever. Got me so hooked about 17 years ago until I completed it, playing it every evening for 2 weeks (it has passwords, so that is another point in favor). At the beginning it may seem very complicated to master, but when you get the hold of the con...

Thanks for your help @sn3j in this Spectrum German Archeology work

I think soon there will be another batch of recovered programs/games posted in the site of El Trastero

Danke!

All Homecomputer mags are available online here, as well as other German computer magazines:

Thanks for the info and for looking, @sn3j

Hats off to Luis

Not even one of them?

There will be more coming soon

Excellent work, people! I have barely any time to do anything, but I appreciate it a lot :) some very interesting titles in there! (a uMIA from 1994, Spain, and a uMIA commercial French game among others!). BTW, the in-game screenshot of El Experimento seems to be somewhat strange :roll: https://spe...

Thanks for helping out and for the info, sn3j ! It also seems that another type-in for the Spectrum was published in that issue of the magazine, called "Superfile", which is, also in the recovered files: https://trastero.speccy.org/2023/IVAN/C10a14B/C10a14B.htm :) By the way, the game of t...

He is a real star!

Oh I know this one, this tape was at my home a couple of months ago hehe

Who did preserve it, Luis or Steven?

Thanks to all for the effort!

Strassenfarher is Cars: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/18379/ZX-Spectrum/Cars As for Dame, I'm almost sure it's a type-in, because I have the same game in a family made cassette (the same where I found Cars): https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7636 Thanks! So Dame must co...

Another 20 programs are now available, and this time, these are more difficult to classify as they are more obscure and small programs (some of them Homebrew from the early 80s):

Maybe @Luzie and @XTM can help us out

Thanks, Einar!
Yes, some of them are already in the archive, but for example Boxe is MIA, so it could be uploaded already
I have to also load some of the others, as I think that by loading them we can find some authors that are not yet mentioned

Hi there! Or should I say Hallo Leute :) We have managed to preserved LOTS of german tapes containing a lot of programs like type-ins, homebrew, MIAs and the likes :) However, I am not very familiar with the early 80s german Spectrum games/magazines/programs, so it would be great if you German guys ...

I also enjoy reading it it is always good to see the Homebrew getting some love, keep it up

I really think they are doing the best Graphics ever on the Spectrum, along with some other homebrew groups like Retroworks and Sanchez Crew. XTM compared them with Dan Dare 2, aber mann :D, I think Dan Dare is far away from some of the Zosya productions, as sprites are limited and repetitive as wel...

Excellent news, Ralf and Andre! Thanks!

Maybe it would be nice to create a separate thread to attract the attention of possible coders/experts that could compile or put them together

Some more games:

-Yoyo´s revenge
-Slightly Magic
-Hostages


Little correction on the list, it is not The Last Corridor, it is The Light Corridor

-The Last Corridor
-Afteroids
-Yucan
-The Running Man
-Rocman
-Comeme el Chip

I think so, I have been playing Hakkenkast lately and it does have AY music and sounds at the same time

Some of the tech gurus will probably know better and how!

While checking the RZX of the game, at the end of it:



It seems like some lines of code were "infiltrated" into the final message?

Thanks for preserving, mate!

It looks like that someone in Stockholm had regular trips to Liverpool

Also both Tom and Jerry games were programmed by Germans (well, included in the Magic Bytes can that XTM opened )

Also, I have a few amount of tapes at home with homebrew german programs and even some games that will be sent to the preservation team soon

"Turtle" looks identical to "Turtle Bridge" which is chapter 4 of Richard G Hurley's "15 Graphic Games for the Spectrum", Micro Press, 1983. Especially if line 1 is a REM statement with mchine code in it. Ace! How did you remember?! The game is not even yet in the SC d...

Towering Inferno looks similar to the game Bounce in the DB. I feel like there are a lot like this, but usually the tower is on the left of the screen (like the Game and Watch Fire game they are based on). Thanks! You mean this one, right? :) https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/38680/ZX-Spectrum/...
