(Recoded from a design discovered in an old folder, dating back to about '92. Produced for my own amusement. Not much to the actual game!)
I've not had chance to try this out yet!

I'm collating stuff ready for the next update. Would you be willing to summarise the backstory for a comment that will appear with the entry (1993/2018 etc)? Or perhaps I could convert your web page article into a .txt?

Grabbing the article to pop in a .txt file would be fine. 2018 is fine for the date of release.

Manic Scroller looks like Manic Miner for the VIC-20 :)

Seems that my last post won't be my last one in this thread :)

Super Master 2
(seems to belong to 2018 yet)

The download:

Probable related to earlier Super Master:

I've spotted it on Facebook groups. Shame that Speccy content is so scattered today all around the web. Like they couldn't all come to Spectrum Computing ;)

Thanks to everyone helping to keep track of all the new releases. Another good year. An especially big thanks to Ralf for keeping his ear to the ground.

Should we have a best game poll?

No need to. It’s obviously Zythum (by Mirrorsoft).
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Author of A Yankee in Iraq, a 50 fps shoot-’em-up—the first game to utilize the floating bus on the +2A/+3,
and zasm Z80 Assembler syntax highlighter.

Two Days to the Race.
A new three part text adventure by Davide Bucci, with great atmosphere and an unusual setting.
Not too difficult - took me 3-4 hours to finish.

A 2019 game, though, as it was only finished and released for spectrum this year. Also available in English. http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php ... ge=English
