Spectrum Computing

That is perhaps it in a nutshell. When you get past the initial shock and awe you are left underwhelmed. It becomes so-so. I even enjoy zynaps more as a game or more tea vicar. Hmm. Even Saint Dragon is more fun. ;-) Zynaps is very good and smooth. It's not as splendid as R-Type bur I find it easie...

R type And I can understand it. It looks great. But does it play great? Personally I'm unable to finish the first level. I tried several times and always failed. Ask yourself a question - do you play R-Type from time to time? Once for a month, once for six months, once for a year? I don't. And I do...

Street Fighter 2 https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/pub/sinclair/screens/in-game/s/StreetFighterII.gif Good, big and detailed sprites and graphics. But try to play it. It's slow as a drunken turtle and very random - you have just one fire button and when you press it, you never know if your character w...

There isn't any ready function like ToUpper to do it, I believe.

You can make it with your own code however. Loop through all characters in the string, check their ASCII value and if it is a lowercase letter change it to uppercase.

So it's yet another project which aims to recolor Spectrum games ;) Like Spec256, EmuZWin or this one: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1634. I must say that the games on these Youtube videos work really well, without any visible glitches. Flying Shark is especially nic...

MK is already done years ago, Warcraft is nearly done (Black raven), while Worms and Kyrandia are playable demos AFAIK. Well, I should be more precise, I guess. Morta Kombat has a full version but it has tiny sprites and for me doesn't have the feeling of the original much: https://spectrumcomputin...

Everything big that was announced but not released/completed like: -Toki -Mega Twins -Thunderjaws I would also like to see some games released only as demos from Russian scene. For example remakes of big games from early 90s: Mortal Combat, Warcraft, Civilisation, Worms, Legend of Kyrandia... Person...

What?
You should show some manners...
Wuh?
Eh?
what's wrong with you?

Okay, people please stop this caveman talk and everything else before some serious fight emerges.

You have to belong to that group to see the content.

Ivan, maybe you could upload them somewhere so we could see them?

@Ralf: it's Mr Heli, Renegade 3, Target Renegade and Goody isn't it? It's much more. Some are unfinished like Outrun Europa but demo versions/unfinished project also go to the database, if they were released in this form, am I right? I could send you info, screenshots, files etc. What would you need?

Anyone managed to get into Drift! ? Is't a game with beautiful graphics, probably as good as monochrome graphics may be. Animation and framerate are also good. But I can't play it :( You have to move on some track with obstacles. But I get off the track all the time. And often I don't see that track...

Valley of Rains is incredible. Looks like not a Spectrum game, like something running on a much more powerful platform. And it's actually very intense but playable and accessible to an average mortal at the same time. I would never expect in my life to see on Spectrum a Savage style game better than...

Lots of great stuff here!
Dift! and Valley of Rains seem to to particularly interesting and polished.
Cant wait to get back home

Is it this one, or has something changed?

Oh, sorry. I've seen a recent post on another forum and believed without checking that it's absolutely fresh. Seems it isn't.
Please ignore my earlier post then.

Something is going on



Can't give the direct link, I guess. It's on "Spectrum For Everyone" Facebook group.

Deadline moves to 5 december. Really looking forward to this one - more than 15 games coming Oh well, I almost forgot about it. And sorry, I won't be submitting anything myself this time. I'll have something yet this year but not for this compo. But 15 games? It sounds really splendid. And in previ...

I'm currently talking with Ralf about trying to add some of my music to his amazing colour mods (eg Rod-Land, Golden Axe) :) We shall see how it goes! :) I can confirm that we are in contact :) Adding music to an existing game may be in many cases harder than altering the graphics. The game may run...

I remember really looking forward to this after seeing a rolling demo on a YS tape.

I remember that game. Unfortunately very repetetive and very average gameplay.

In the 80s you couldn't turn your TV on its side

Well, if you were daring enough, you COULD turn your TV on its side. The problem was that usually your mum and dad used it to watch tv and they wouldn't be happy seeing you doing it

And welcome to the forums !

Seen on Vivaldi latest version on Windows 10 at 1920 x 1080. I had to check what is Vivaldi, beside being a composer ;) From Wikipedia: "StatCounter estimates that Vivaldi had a 0.05% market share for desktop browsers in December 2018" You are a hipster, Alessandro :) But I'd like to add ...

Players software have very distincive graphics style in their games. It's obvious that they went from the same artist - Martin Severn called Jabba ( https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=999&label_id=6748 ) I would say most of them are okay, above average if we compare them to other comp...

The trailer is fantastic...

I was going to say the same. Very good, professional quality trailer.
And certainly a lot of passion went into this game. I'd love to see the results soon

As a man from Poland I would just have one comment, please remember that Europe doesn't end at Germany

So I'd give each mod its entry regardless of what was changed or quality. In such case there are thousands of Italian cracks waiting for us. And lots of Russian translations as well. I wouldn't like to be selfish but would really suggest starting from Bruce Lee RX and my mods ;) I'm regularly I'm a...

Which file did you load Rafal? The .TZX loads fine in Spectaculator 8.0 under both 48K and 128K emulation with fast loading enabled.

I just loaded the file form the link given by Andre Leao. First clicked "aqui" then got transfered to Dropbox and got my files there.
