Hi,
Navigating across WOS forums I read it was found and preserved some years ago a ZX Spectrum copy of a videogame called "Discovery" by CRL software house, a complete uMIA. Since then, no entry was made in that site, neither here, and I wonder if someone would give it a chance.
If you need to have a look to the game, use Slider link (posted here) and 50885 poke for control options:
Value of byte to be poked on 50885 address:
1 - Keyboard: P (up), L (down), Z (left), X (right) and 0 (fire)
2 - Kempston joystick
3 - Cursor keys
4 - Sinclair Joystick (Port 1 and keys from 1 to 5).
A little cheat from Battle Bunny - POKE 53750,183 (Inf. shields)
To make POKE works, MERGE loader, type it in before PRINT USR 50880 instruction, run it and load the rest of the game.
As commented, it seems it was a rushed software, not polished and details are missing (options menu, better loading screen, FX effects, etc) but it's completely playable.
See thread here.
