Game of the day...
Re: Game of the day...
Must try that. It could be my only chance.
Re: Game of the day...
Being 30 year old this year, I'm trying Stormlord, which I've never played at the time. Easy it is not.
Re: Game of the day...
Happy birthday Cruelman! You're getting younger ;-p
Stormlord is another classic game that I never got around to playing first time, and really should give it a proper go.

Thank you R-Tape, I think I'll stop around 22.

Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Kendo Warrior [Byte Back]
Mixing beat'em up's and maze games, like Saboteur. Neat graphics.

Stormlord, Hit, The Real Ghostbusters, Kendo Warrior: all 1989's games just like:
Sidewinder II [Mastertronic Plus]
Cautious and moderately paced vertical shoot'em up.

Satan [Dinamic Software, 1989]
A strange Dinamic game in which it's hard to die and there aren't colourful but clashy graphics, they're in fact small and monochrome.
Your character is an agile guy jumping, clinging and climbing with ease while collecting power up's and annihilating dozen of monsters.
It's playable. Dunno if it can hold one's interest for long though.

Re: Game of the day...
That sums it up nicely. It's pretty good, but to me it seems like an accomplished tech demo with placeholder graphics, waiting for the artists to give it a personality.

In fact I'm puzzled.

Fired up my (so far) trusty +2, and played the Cronosoft release of Buzzsaw+ until the level 4 cutebots handed me my arse.

Fridge Frenzy by Bug-Byte.
An bit irritating Manic Miner-like game by Bug-Byte. You have to move quickly due to the limited time to pass the screen.

Mummy! Mummy! by Mc Lothlorien.
A not-bad version of the arcade classic Panic, which I love in every version.

Still can't get past the first level of The Untouchables. 70% is my top completion score.
Re: Game of the day...
Interesting title screen effect, I wonder if it's meant to look something like the patterns in this Interlace demo.

Zig Zag by DK'Tronics.
An odd game, you have to drive around a 3D maze in pursuit of these weird alien thingies. The aim is to trap them in a corner so you can mercilessly blow them to pieces with your gun, causing the maze to expand and more aliens appearing. It's basically a reverse 3D Monster Maze.

The ZX-Dev remake of Alley Cat—Misifu la Gatita
It looks a bit rough round the edges at first glance, but it's very addictive!
