And here I am with the man himself #MartinGalway, who wrote all the tunes on the #Commodore64 version of #Wizball

Imagine if you could hear the #Commodore64 & 16bit tunes from Wizball on the AY chip of a 128 #ZXSpectrum.

Well... I JUST DID & the C64 was literally ASTOUNDING, the 16bit version was BRILLIANT!!

You've got to hear these & you will at some point soon

V1.3??

As I'm in a #Wizball mood at the moment here's some history. Shown here is my 1st rough idea for a #ZXSpectrum ld scr, then a start of an attempt. Next is Simon Butler's sketch showing me how to change the art to landscape, then the original loading screen by myself.

Let's see your high-score tables then! I'm crap at it (but I can now score more than I could on the old version).

Who's better at #Wizball for the #ZXSpectrum than me?

Here's a short video of me playing the finished version of the enhanced, 128k only, version of #Wizball on the #ZXSpectrum. Full of various improvements - it has changed the game for me - now it's addictive & fun to play instead of being way too hard.
It'll be launched tomorrow! #OceanSoftware

My highest score ever on #Wizball on the #ZXSpectrum thanks to this new enhanced version that should be finished & released later today.

So much more fun to play when you strive to beat your highest score & get your name on here #OceanSoftware #RetroGaming

We've now got a full credits screen that mentions everyone that was involved with the game #Wizball #OceanSoftware #RetroGaming #ZXSpectrum

Here's a video showing the new version of #Wizball as it is at the moment. Leigh has all my original graphics that I drew for the #ZXSpectrum version so he's going to see if anything can be added as loads of them weren't used.
