Level 9 games for Spectrum Next

[Stefan123]

I'm happy to announce that a porting of the open source Level 9 interpreter is now available for the Spectrum Next. This interpreter supports all of Level 9's games (19 in total), uses the improved graphics from the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST versions of the games and provides saving/loading of the game state to/from an SD card.

To make it easier to enjoy, a compilation of all Level 9 games packaged appropriately for this interpreter has been provided. Note that the Level 9 games are copyright by Level 9 Computing. This compilation is not official and its curator is not affiliated with Level 9 Computing. The compilation is done in loving memory of Level 9 and their classic masterpieces and without any monetary gain involved.

I have an informal approval from Mike Austin (one of the Level 9 founders) for providing this game compilation for the Spectrum Next. Thanks Mike for making this possible!

Here is the project on GitHub with source code and everything:

This is great. It has to be said that they do look like the Amiga versions though. However, excellent for Next owners. Great work.

You can also use the Level 9 interpreter to display the graphics used in the Spectrum versions, albeit minus the colour clash.

Even for the Amiga versions, it's only the games released after Knight Orc (plus the games compiled for Time and Magik) that have digitized graphics.

Anyway, this is yet another reason why this forum needs a thumbs up button back.

Great stuff. Love me some adventure games, and always keen to broaden the ZXNext game collection.
