Thanks for making the thread! And yes, it's my game :) Very very nice! The screens look so authentic, both to the original game as to the Speccy. Great stuff! The controls are ok (using Fuse) after switching to kempston mouse. It would have been very cool if the tune had been truer to the original,...

I think V has been the crappiest letter so far?

Tim Follin's tune grabs my vote for Vectron.

I still remember my breath being taken away when going over the first hill in Enduro Racer - wow that "vertigo" effect.

Stefan

Curious that whenever I read 'They stole a million' I think of the compilation of similar title :D And I think of "they stole half a million" ;-) On topic though: once again too many great games in this bunch, Thanatos, Trash Man and Through the Trap Door were in the running, but finally ...

Does this help?

atic atac -> @ic @ac

but since you are going 3d vs 2d and @ is shift 2 it becomes

Cool! As a quick win, some very basic colour coding just of c vs assembly lines could make it even easier to use.

So I set a breakpoint in debugger and run the program. At some moment It hits the breakpoint and enters the debugger. And it's a first instruction of some block of code. So I may suspect some JP or CALL was before it. But how can I find it without crazy guessing? Does any emulators stores adresses ...

For some reason Everyone's a Wally jumped into mind.

Are you looking for an another version?

Federation.tzx loads fine in Fuse /if/ you select 48k - with a 128k machine a loading error is /reported/.

I would also add Grell and Falla http://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/pub/sinclair/screens/in-game/g/GrellAndFella.gif It's no winner here and maybe not so popular as it came to the market in final days of commercial Spectrum when everybody was moving to other platforms. But It's a really polished game, ...

Can we have a multi vote poll? Just selecting one game just feels so wrong. Otherwise I may need to create some sock puppets

Stefan

Quite a few decent arcade conversions starting with G:

Stefan

F16 Combat Pilot by Digital Integration
F29 Retaliator by...oops wasn’t on the Speccy

Stefan

Great!!!

Maybe a search option can be added to the 'advanced search' to browse for games that can be played in the online emulator?

Can an online preview be added similar to the RZX Youtube still? I scrolled over the contents of Apulija various times trying to find the online links.

Stefan

Still playing Elite Dangerous - so anything that laid out the groundwork over 30 years ago has been scientifically proven to be brilliant - FACT!

Enduro Racer was the first racer I saw that moved the horizon to indicate vertical movement - I can still feel the excitement / anxiety when going over that first hill. Wow!

Stefan

There are just too many good games in there - picking just one just reminds of the definition of agony: a one armed man hanging off the top of a cliff with itchy macadamias. But went for Chase HQ - the opening sequence of AY + beeper, speech, and a great game to boot. At least a top 5 would allow so...

Yes!

I'm going to have to swoop in and claim this one as Worse Things Happen at Sea.

Attempting to play the 128k .tap on Fuse - both intro and in game tunes are fantastic!

But... I don't get the gameplay - none of objects are picked up. I do lose life when hit by an enemy.

Compare the contents of memory at 24576 ($6000) with the contents of the Pasmo compiled source?

This post however seems to indicate that the ZX Spin assembler is just broken.

Stefan

Look at last 2 columns. Exactly one of these columns requires a painted square above (therefore none below), the other requires a painted square below (therefore none above). And it's not hard to figure out which one. Yep... got it - thanks! [mention]PeterJ[/mention] - are you planning on implement...

Stefan

This level required a guess:

After which I can finally say finished! [mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] thanks for the great game! MmcM thanks for the brilliant tunes!
