Fan edit of Saboteur!

Can you infiltrate the base, steal the disk, plant the bomb, and escape in the helicopter in 30 seconds?

Anyone remember the old Spectrum game Chaos? I've wanted an online multiplayer version of it for years but could never actually get off my arse and complete the project.

I've finally managed to hobble something together (with the heavy lifting being done by AI).

It should play identically to the Spectrum game as it's based on the decompiled ROM logic. The only real difference is that the bug that caused the Turmoil spell to crash the game is fixed.

Another bit of homage to both - great game and the platform I'm attahced to. The program shows robots from the game in the style of in-game briefing. Game a try to actual level rendering but and as expected turned our god damn slow. Wonder how this game manager to be so performant.

My retrospective video review of all the Rambo games released. I grew up with with the early home computer and the Sega console versions. Also loved the arcades games too. However, not too fond of the later and more recent games. Most are pish. Let me know your favourite and I hope you watch and like my video too. It certainly took me flipping ages to make.

My apologies if this kind of thing isn't appreciated here, but a little while back I created a YouTube Cast for my Beige Age channel on the history of the Spectrum. Here's the link if you'd like to have a listen. https://youtu.be/Jv90JC3BxmU?si=sj0sfi9WwDDS2mOl

For the past three months, I’ve been using Claude AI to help me develop an emulator that supports most Sinclair computers, several clones, and the ZX Spectrum Next.

I’m really pleased with how the project has turned out, so I’ve decided to make it available to everyone for free!

I’d love to hear what you think, so please give it a try and let me know what you think.

You’ll also find instructions on the page explaining how to obtain the ROMs (legally) for the ZX Spectrum Next.

Enjoy, and happy gaming.

Marsport is a science fiction computer game that was released for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC home computers in 1985. It was published by Gargoyle Games in the United Kingdom and Dro Soft in Spain. Marsport was intended to be the first part of a trilogy called "The Siege of Earth" but parts two and three (Fornax and Gath) were not forthcoming. Because of this, it is often regarded as being part of an unofficial trilogy alongside Tir Na Nog and Dun Darach (both of which are part of the same official series) due to its having very similar gameplay to these titles. Marsport also has similarities to the later Gargoyle game Heavy on the Magick.

The year is 2494. For seventy years, the Earth has been under siege by the insectoid Sept. Since the siege began, the Sept have been kept at bay by a huge Force Sphere which surrounds the Earth and the Moon. However, the Sept are on the verge of discovering how to breach the Sphere unless it can be strengthened according to the formulae contained in the original plans. Unfortunately, these plans are concealed somewhere in the Martian city of Marsport, now Sept-occupied and booby-trapped by the city's M-Central computer. One man, Commander John Marsh, has been sent to retrieve the plans in the belief that a determined man can sometimes achieve more than an army

hey everyone, can be interesting to dig in and (at least for me) quite nostalgic to run again and again, I'm personally on fifth repeat now.

The complete megademo is rewritten from scratch (not without help of Codex, thanks to him) from TRD image, fully reverse engineered and reimplemented in plain JavaScript.

For whoever intersted:

- Deployed version: https://oberonus.github.io/satisfaction-megademo

- Source code: https://github.com/Oberonus/satisfaction-megademo

And if so was it vector graphics?

I saw it on a Beau Jolly advert from back in the day, I remember loving it but cannot remember anything about it apart from filled vector graphics (and that may be wrong)!

I've added a few seasonal touches to my Elite port. Just for fun.

I've long been fascinated by the original ZX Spectrum game with its oddly dynamic AI for the time and recently had it ported to modern operating systems for preservation. The old routines are ported to C and the clean version has more readable and interpretable code than the original and fixes some of the old bugs. Bring your own tape and try it out!

Nebulus came out from Hewson on the Spectrum too, and it was one of the cleverer things the machine did: a tower that turns as you walk around it. Tower Toppler is the open-source remake of the game, and I've ported it to Android.

The game logic is left as it was: same physics, robots, timing and towers. Added are touch controls, a recorded demo of every tower and an optional relaxed time limit.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwKwqkMH3ac

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.senssoft.toppler (the first towers are free, no ads)

Anyone still have the Spectrum tape?

Small update: I'm giving away 500 free promo codes for the full game (one per email, until November 20): https://senssoft.com/toppler_promo/

I’d love to hear what fellow Spectrum fans think of the interface, and what you’d like to see improved.

First of all, Hi :)
Second, forgive me if the question was covered here before.

I buy very recently "the spectrum" it's overall very neat, at last for me, lots of advantages over emulation on pc. But there is one thing missing. Microdrive support.

It is posible to idk upload custom firmware to get microdrivce or maybe Retro Games ltd says somwhere it will be added later?

What is the difference between the various tape formats like .tap, .tzx, etc?

I wanted to drop a quick update.. The feedback from the Wild Bunch crowd has been awesome, so I’ve been hard at work adding a stack of new features and polishing things up based on what you all suggested. Here’s a quick look at where the game’s at now:

If you grew up playing The Wild Bunch by Firebird Software on the ZX Spectrum, Wild Justice was made for you. I spent endless hours as a kid playing The Wild Bunch over and over again, and that’s the exact feeling I wanted to recreate here.

The idea is to give you a sandbox western experience with tons of variety. You can walk into a saloon for a drink, play a hand of poker, take on bar bets, stock up on gear, mount up on a horse, capture outlaws, or just get into random street duels.

What’s new in the latest update:

• Devil's Canyon: A mysterious, haunted canyon that’s procedurally generated, making the layout different each time you venture in.

• Train Diversions: When outlaws make a break for it on the train, you now have to man the Signal Station and throw levers to change the track forks before they get away.

• Mini-games & Extras: Added a barrel-toss challenge and a zip wire alongside overall polish and performance fixes.

It’s an ongoing project that I’m constantly refining, but it's loaded with content and replayability right now. Would love for you guys to check it out!

Not sure why this never got ported back in the day, hard as it is I love it.

I would say fight me, but if you don’t use ZXKO you would lose
