Another Elektronika-inspired title is Diver Mystery Of The Deep.

A couple more made in Sinclair Basic : https://awesome-table.com/-KTJLy2xX7_E1 ... ilterN=lcd
One inspired by Ball from Nintendo. The other one won a recent Sinclair Basic russian jam (all 48K games I think..though all are made to run in Pentagon).

BASIC - interesting.

How about a Game & Watch engine that works like my CharAde engine, as an extension to BASIC - you'd have to load in a SCREEN$ with all your graphics, then program up the attribute squares in memory that you want to show and hide for each game 'cell', then you could just do an LPRINT with a code in it to turn a whole cell on or off. The logic for your game could then be programmed in BASIC.

Anyone want to try it out if I write the engine to do this?

And while we talk about Game & Watch it looks like another game inspired by simple handheld console is coming to Spectrum

Brick Racer, soon on our machine:

Not exactly Game&Watch but close enough to be mentioned in this thread, I guess ;)

I had this brick game handheld, not many time ago (2004, 2005 maybe) and it was simple but diabolically addictive. With those crap graphics, it has dozens of Tetris games and variants, car chase games, etc. Over 100 games in total. The one in the link is green, but mine was grey.

The weird thing is that I got it free when I bought a cheese (yes, a cheese!) in my local supermarket. All very WTF.

The next days I couldn't stop playing it. Really addictive :lol:

Ah yeah, I owned the Ball Game & Watch.

Was OK, though when I saw the Donkey Kong one I thought it looked and played amazing.

I recall there were more but as I said before it's hard to search for them. I'll report if I find anything more.

By the way, something wrong is with palette of this screenshot. Non bright red seems too dark. Actually I checked it and it's (190,0,0) in RGB which is too far I would say.

I seem to remember the criticism of Mad Nurse was that it played like a G&W game.
