Oh here, as there's loads of new people on here now & we don't have pinned posts it might be time for an introduction.
My name's Dave & I'm a huge fan of the #ZXSpectrum
During lockdown I started making Speccy games with my son on MPAGD. They're all available for free here: sloanysoft.itch.io

OK, so I was a C64 lad but am keen to get more into the Speccy. I’ve obvs played many Speccy games but if you’re a *big* fan, what are the very best – old *and* new?
BUT! No games that are objectively better elsewhere. (So: no Head Over Heels or Chase HQ, say.) And the games need to hold up today.

The dull, low effort "who remembers Daly Thompson's Decathlon/Horace Goes Skiing/Jet Set Willy/Space Invaders" posts for some reason now come with AI versions of the inlays even though the originals are already widely available in picture form.

"Original physical media images" screams the soulless AI voiceover on the James Pond Legacy trailer, like it means something.

Ventured into a fast food place for the first time in years a few weeks back. Stop Just let me see the menu FFS! If it wasn't for my blood pressure pills I'd have gone full Michael Douglas in Falling Down.

I've been helping Badger Punch on this game for like 3 years now, starting with LOTS of testing on Amiga version. I haven't been closely involved in this one as some of the previous but this has still been one heck of a journey. If you like casual Lovecraftian roguelikes, this is a great game!

I've been testing a pre-release of Roguecraft DX on Steam today ❤️ It's a lovely polished upgrade to the Amiga DX version, retains the same great gameplay, and adds some fun extras.
The full release is very soon - go wishlist it now!
