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.

I recommend playing this game with the Currah Speech System :D

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!

Great game that I couldn't play it back in the day.

This is the first Spectrum game I've played on a emulator ('Spectrum' by Pedro Gimeno for DOS) back in 1993. Cool.

The more I played, the more I like it.

My highest score is still only 80 points... after realizing that I not only must avoid walls and certain objects & enemies while falling off but also get the balloons (or are they flying jellyfishes?)

:oops:

Why the absolute F would you choose to play this game?!!! Just seeing the in-game image reminds of the abject misery I experienced after receiving it from those buggers at The Home Computer Club. They sent it me as 'The Editors Choice', pah, editors choice my arse, more likely that the editor hated children and wanted to inflict unimaginable misery which would scar them for years to come. Look at the bloody colours, what kind of damaged mind would do that?!!!!

A very decent conversion of the original arcade. Cool shooter.

Devil Diver by DK Tronics, by John R. Edmonds, the same author of Fantastic Voyage. It uses the same character and the movement is very similar.

Image

We can define it as 'when Fantastic Voyage meets Scuba Dive'. Entertaining.

A funny maze game. Use bombs to kill enemies and reach next level. Activate bombs wisely or you'll kill yourself!
I do not spam this site., Here you view the "Original Game in new Fun2019"
I love the game "Eric and the Floaters"

With that many punts, you can conquer a small island country. You just need to recruit more Freds and invest in a few poles.
