  1. #Nectar; Good fun arcade action from #Lunysoft. Remember, if you want to see more development, consider donating. Coffee and beer keeps my gaming inspiration lubricated at night. #zxspectum #retrogaming #arcade

    On the ZX Spectrum I think the Frequency Analysis of a string of text may be the easiest bit.
    I cheated a bit and POKED memory addresses (still all BASIC) rather than get messy and chuck arrays of strings around.

    Inspired by your stream last night I wrote a quick and nasty #ZXSpectum #BASIC version of the game "Surround"
    My version doesn't have a score or a death condition (yet).
    It does have collision detection so the appearing blocks can't overwrite your character and you cannot move into an occupied block. The video is real time so it moves quite fast at the moment. The listing is less than 2 screens of BASIC.

  4. Although if you do go there & it's sold out, you can still buy tonnes of 8-bit homebrew at rock bottom prices.

    There are some awesome #ZXSpectum games on their site!

  5. Have just been given this #ZXSpectum to repair, needs a new keyboard membrane, a recap and a good clean. Will be getting a lot of help from @_B_

  6. #DailyRetroGame 198: Deus Ex Machina (1984)

    This one was weird. It featured a machine that had taken human form, and you had to work through its seven stages of life. The audio came by way of a tape you played in sync with the game, which featured the likes of Ian Dury and Jon ‘The Doctor’ Pertwee. A kind of multimedia experience at least a decade ahead of its time, DEM was like nothing else out there. And nothing since.

    Play it on: #ZXSpectum

  8. Anyone keen on playing Speccy games that will make you want to smash your keyboard in frustration, may be interested in a game we made last weekend for the CSSCGC, that's just been released!

  12. You know when a project comes along & you are so confident that it'll be awesome that you have zero hesitation in recommending it to EVERYONE before you've even played it?

    Well here is one such project, just downloaded it but I want to set aside some proper time to delve wholeheartedly into it...and so should you!!

  14. More #BASIC #BreakOut listings … (where does this stop??) - Peter Shaw‘s „#Games for your #ZXSpectum“ in German.

    The intro says: „Peter Shaw is 16 years old, goes to school and contributed to the „Interface“ Spectrum magazine. Last christmas he played the leading role in a stage play at his high school“

  15. The completed key of ACG.
    "Congratulations you have escaped"

    All that is left to do now it has finished printing is give it a sanding / smoothing, then paint it and add the magnets.

    Removing the supports was a pain as i printed the parts vertically. Im going to work on a modular version were all the parts can be printed flat with minimum supports. See how that turns out

  16. #homebrew done, now time to tackle this little #ZXSpectum issue 2 board. Not sure why it doesn't have the spider mod on the CPU. Hmmm....
