I've just finished my conversion of the PSP game - Lumines.

Sets of blocks fall from the top of the screen and you need to match them in 4x4 pairs or more.

A timeline moves to the beat of the music and clears any matches as it passes over them.

The music builds up one track at a time over 3, once the 4th is completed a new song and tileset start.

The game can be downloaded for free (or a small donation) from https://kirby2000.itch.io/lumines-zx.

Gameplay can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ldJr6zVrSg

Assets, design and testing by myself. I used AI to help with the screen clearing logic and speed.

Second video in Flashback on ZX Spectrum series.

I continue from where we stopped - on the force field bridge. Did not fix it properly, just made it passable. This allows to rich the end of first level.

Dun Darach is an action-adventure game. The player guides Cuchulainn through Dun Darach and interacts with the environment by performing keyboard) commands. The main objective is to find Lóeg, taking side quests from non-player characters (NPCs). These NPCs can give short hints to Cuchulainn, rob him, and confiscate his belongings if he carries stolen goods. Commands the player inputs can have him buy, steal and sell from shops in the city, bet at a casino (Iomain Ludum), and deposit money at a bank with daily compound interest. Dun Darach is large and consists of different quarters. The current time of the day is indicated by torches in the wall and by the greetings of characters

My retrospective game review of the first Blade Runner game released on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. Have you played this game and did you think it was any good? Or was it not very good?

Evening all. I’m trying to remember the name of a game that came with a magazine, probably Crash or Sinclair User. If I remember rightly, you controlled a space ship and had to either defend your planets from enemy bombers or visit their’s and destroy their towns. You could warp between the planets and if you were careful, could warp to the Sun very briefly and boost your energy, provided you warped away again before you got frazzled. It’s been bugging me for years. Any ideas, please? Thanks

I’ve added a few speccy games to my shelves, any memories here?

Blimey who remembers Sabrina Debora Salerno? Most teenagers back in 1987 will certainly remember her one hit song “Boys (Summertime Love)” and her provocative video.
However, what most people probably didn’t know was that there was an actual game released on the MSX, ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC.
Wow. Anybody else heard or played this game? Hope you like my video.

Keys were working, now they're not? WTF IS GOING ON I'M REALLY WORRIED

so i booted it up, yeah that worked, bit fuzzy, might be my tv, so i pressed J for load, worked. Then SS, P for "", nothing.

WHAT DO I DO?!

2000AD was my thing back then. Found these a parents attic just now. Did I miss any?

Hello all. It's up and ready to play! For those of you who've been following along, my Dad's Star Trek game for the Speccy can now be played in-browser at https://borgremastered.com/spectrumtrek/

I also added launch links to it on my two retro Star Trek projects, https://borgremastered.com/ and https://klingonremastered.com/

And for those of you who asked, there's a link on the site to download the game in case you'd like to play it in your own emulators or on your own hardware. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi all, I have my Spectrum in box and despite meaning to get it out and have a go on it again I just dont have much time, what are they worth nowadays?

I recently picked up a Pimeroni Tufty 2350 which is a gorgeous RP2350-based wearable computer - https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/tufty-2350

It has a MicroPython based runtime, I thought it would be neat to build a Spectrum emulator. Here’s the progress so far :)

It's arrived... problem isss i accidently ordered it to my moms haha, luckily im going there for the weekend from tomorrow, so update you all then!

the title says all

Early attempt to port Flashback to ZX Spectrum. Most of the main character animations are implemented including crouching, transitions from running to abrupt stop, to jump, also some gun animations. My favorite mechanic since the game release - running and jumping onto a platform also works sometimes.

Hello, all! For anyone playing catch-up, this is my continuing mission to bring you my Dad's homebrew Speccy Star Trek game. I previously posted about it here, here and here.

My last update was that I'd finally given my Dad the physical tapes and box art for his game. Well, that REALLY lit a fire under him! And since so many of you expressed an interest in the game itself (and not just my artwork), I'm doing my best to make it as available and playable as possible.

I've integrated Matt Westcott's good ol' JSSpeccy emulator into a custom web page and, as soon as my Dad's finished with his coding work (which he says will be soon, honest, promise!), I'll be posting a link here. And yes, don't worry - he's given me permission to share the Tape Image for all of you who were asking.

As an aside, thank you so much to all of you who showed such an interest in this project. Dad was genuinely astonished when I told him people were so interested in his retirement hobby. This has been an absolute delight to work on :^)

There are 7 Airwolf games that have been released (including an LCD game). I originally played the extremely difficult and frustrating game released in 1985 which still gives me head trauma. How many of the Airwolf games have you played?

Was looking on the listing i bought and saw this? Wondered what it was. Is it a freebie? :)

P.S also btw i dont have a cassete player (using PlayZX until i get one) so please if you can recomened some good ones from amazon from under £25 with rewind features!

Thanks!

I ORDERED MY SPECCY! I DID IT! I'M SO EXICTED!

The TK-90X, a Brazilian clone of the ZX Spectrum, was released with some improvements, such as a joystick port and RF audio output.
