"Atic Atac is a Spectrum Game Remake built using the internal machine code of the original Spectrum game.

The game has been done using the C++ QGAME framework build over the SDL library."

Thought I'd link it for you folks as I have not seen a thread about it.

It's a great achievement but for me it loses it's charm with modern 'softened' graphics.

And all the sprites seem to have this horrible individual 'vignette' effect where they darken away a certain radius from the centre of the sprite. It makes everything look like a smudge.

Used to see that a lot on the 16Bit ports for Speccy games. The artists didn't know what to do with the original graphics so they added gradients to them and called it a day. This has exactly the same problem. The graphics have been (badly, looks like Scale2x) upscaled and had gradients applied.

My favourite game is back, I love it!!!

I love Atic Atac, but this looks super uninspired and I can't be bothered to even download it. If I want to play it, I'll play the original Spectrum version.

Wow indeed, that’s a lot of interest.
