ZX Spectrum game mash-ups that don't currently exist.

General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

Awesome thread idea!

Dynamite Dan Dare - Released in 1985½, Dynamite Dan Dare is the quintessential difficult British game. Land your air ship on an asteroid and search for dynamite sticks to blow up Dr Mekon's base. You'll also encounter a lady called Professor Peabody, but she's not your girlfriend so under no circumstances must you touch her.

If anyone ever manages to complete the game (not likely), you can call Mirror Soft Virgin and claim an actual ride into space! (Just hope and pray the developers don't go into liquidation while you're still up there).

I was talking about the ZX Spectrum in the pub last night, and the landlord overheard us and because of his mangled memory, came up with a beauty for this thread: "Do you remember Jet Pac Willy?!!!"

Also, earlier in the week I posted my contributions to this thread on the Facebook group Spectrum For Everyone, and got these from member Mark James:

I'll just say:

And I'll return to my cave to continue with my vow of (not so much) silence.

Cue the Jacks...

Jack the Nipper's Match Fishing. You have to concentrate on catching fish while some little scamp is trying to spoil it by exploding whoopie cushions, poking you with a stick, chucking bricks in the pond...

A text adventure in which you are in a pub and come across a page-three celebrity and try to flirt with her.

It's coded by Opera Soft with its usual level of difficulty, so do not get your hopes up!
