Speccy Screenshot Maps

Whether it's Mire Mare or a BASIC tape you found in the attic, it needs to be preserved digitally. Post here and experts can help to do so.

The Dan Dare II: SU Edition map seems to be quite different from Dan Dare II: Mekon's Revenge.

It would be nice to have it mapped too.

I checked Sinclair User version of Dan Dare 2.

Looks like it's a specially prepared very short demo of the proper game.
Here's the rzx walkthrough of it:

It's hard to get through some parts. Dan bounces off the doors and floor in a weird manner in some places.

Thanks Rafal for RZX!

Yep, the game is very short.

These are a great nostalgia hit ! Is there any way to download them all at once ? I don't want to leech the site.

If necessary, you can add a schematic map of the web-maze.

Very good game engine, comparable to the best shmups like Zynaps.
It just deserves better graphics.
Is it a complete version ?

I wouldn't compare it to Zynaps. In this game only the very top and bottom are being scrolled, the sprites are not interacting with the background at all.

Totally agree. This would be ace with a bit more polish.

There is a new Czech shoot-em-up. And yes, teh game is (probably) complete.
