Spectrum Computing

Forgot about tax didn't i... £34 added on top of the £170 Oh well, i'm going for it. Order is in, parts are on the way
I'll take some WIP pics when i get the bits and start building.

Estimated arrival, Feb 10th on some parts, Feb 19th on others.

I think i have my image... https://i.ibb.co/xgc6hyb/176x112-Speccy-Sprites.png Green Beret is gone, instead JetPac is in. Wally has changed to his Pyjamarama version. Clive was added. Fairlight guy is gone, in favour of i forget... Bruce Lee snuck in, as did your character from Valhalla. Technician ...

Good call. I've swapped out Head as i lost Heels anyway. Clive is in. And i've cropped it to 176x112 to lose the top and side rows of plates.

Now, does anyone remember that famous game with the T shaped character

I don't mind the lack of "lego" written on them, especially for the huge benefit of cost. Seraphima, i know the game, but not played it. As i originally said, its a personal piece so is going to be mostly very early iconic characters i grew up with, you can tell by who is on it so far... I...

So i've expanded the image to 192x128. This is 24,576 pixel bricks. I'm getting conscious of size, but this seems best for the plates and brick numbers. Its allowed me to re-add the stripe too, which i missed. Then i've found what looks to be the best bulk buy price on Ali for the bricks and the bac...

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32964412076.html 200 1x1 bricks for 40p These come up as £2.23 for me... But its a great idea. I don't mind the "lego" not saying Lego on it. I think i'm going to try to source the micro lego, extend the colours used a little and make the whole mosaic a bit...

I never actually knew his name... But i guess its " Space Cadet Farley from Project Future" as worcestersource suggested.

No time to add these, spent much of today just creating thsi list and updating my own collection. Did a compare of my current archive with the ZX Next section of SCs ZXDB list and these seem to be missing. 2001 HAL Themed autoexec (2023)(ChuckNZ) 320.bas (2021)(Johnny McGibbitts) Alien Annihilation ...

No White Door, no vote. I haven't played the others. I know a lack of vote from me will be upsetting, please keep your spirits up...

Alchemist
Zip Zap
Never Ending Story

Alchemist was amazing to slowly work out, over many games. One of the few games i completed way back without internet guides and the youtubes.

Don't yell. I know we are past the "discussion" phase here :) My Tartan folder looks like this. You have more than me, i have more than you. I usually don't get involved in the discussion as you do the work and when its wrong someone always shouts up. https://i.ibb.co/48K3t7w/tartan.png My...

Thanks for that 8-) I love it but would go the other way - full resolution at greater expense: at that amount of money, a few quid more to get it perfect would definitely be worth it I've seen micro-Lego stuff... https://thebrickblogger.com/2014/09/nanoblock-micro-size-building-bricks/ Yeah, i woul...

I’d propose Space Cadet Farley from Project Future. Yep, he's in my current version below :) I have (almost) enough characters now, the sheet is pretty much completed. I now have to decide whether to drop some characters, shuffle it around and try to get it down to a 4x6 piece and save some money o...

This is the website, showing cost and size. OMG the size. Although i have the ideal bit of wall space...
So 168 pixels wide is 1.35m in lego! And a bargain at £350. lol.



If i made it 4x6 plates instead of 5x7 it'd be £240, but still 1.1m wide.

Excellent images, i've grabbed those for later, thanks. I found a site that can create a pixel art (buyable) kit of your photos. They use 24x24 plates and 1x1 bricks. Far from cheap, but not quite as scary prices as i thought. Its maybe doable... The website has a built in app for uploading your ima...

Brilliant. Gonna be VERY useful that...



Bugaboo swapped over. Gonna go through the sprite pack that g0blinish kindly linked me to. Updates later.

Movie, Dan Dare, Android Two added. Canvas expanded.

Wolfman, Ant Attack, Technician Ted, Fairlight all added. I can expand more...

This is not a war... They are all gonna have a big lovefest in the middle... Maria has a bit of a thing for men in white coats, thats why she's pointing out Mr. Rockit :) Ant Attack and Fairlight are going in. Thx. Knight Lore is essentially Sabreman and he is represented, so i have thought about th...

The orange and brown is to match my living room. This is going to be a thing eventually, i'll post a pic of the framed art when done. Ikari Warriors - good call, for me it was always Commando though, so i've picked up a sprite from that instead and added it in :) Layout is subject to change as it fi...

So i saw someone had made a huge lego Atic Atac piece for their wall and was inspired (he said it was over 1m wide, spotted it on Facebook). Since seeing it i have been putting together a sprite sheet and have enquired about lego costs buying in bulk. If done with 1x1 bricks we are at almost 23,000 ...

not played a single one... sigh

Frankie
Zzoom
Molar Maul

Well i know very little about the programming aspects, but it was very interesting to follow. Hope you do more.

And Zzoom. But yeah, Frankies the best one.
