Anyone interested in ZX Spectrum stuff should look at this. Really faithful to the Speccy.
#Christmas and #ZXSpectrum followers. I need one or two people to play test our Xmas game for listeners. Anyone fancy reliving their days on the classic 48k? You can either emulate or play on a real system..

I don't think I ever saw a 16K Speccy in the wild.

Was this any good? The original Robocop game was fun on the Speccy.

Worth a watch. In addition to creating Grand Theft Auto, Mike wrote the tools I am using for Speccy Next (and Speccy) dev, specifically the SNASM assembler and CSpect emulator.

I am going to have to revisit this when my Speccy Next 3 arrives (soon 🤞). So many things to take a look at 🤗

yeah! i think though my only realistic speccy option is the Timex spectrum with the cartridge that allows it to play spectrum games

Obviously, the biggest time saving has been just embracing 128K only from the beginning. Trying to get it to fit on a 48K speccy was a huge time sink on Quantum Hop 1.

As if you could get four Speccy fans in one room..the smell of desperation to be a Commodore kid would be overpowering 😂😂

Suddenly considering making a new Dizzy-style game, for no real reason. Honest.

Years ago I made "Higgy: A Speccy-ish Adventure" using GameMaker Studio just to get a laugh out of @ianhigton.bsky.social. It was small, and a bit shit but all human

I'm retiring my Speccy till I can fix it but I managed to complete RoboCop tonight! 🥳

As in the film, I destroyed ED209 with the anti-tank gun, entered the OCP boardroom and saved the president from Dick Jones. 58,780 points.

I salute Jonathan Dunn's ace title theme with this video.

“The arcade version was one of my faves and the Speccy version does not disappoint. Graphically, Chase HQ is great with the mean looking black Porsche ripping along the monochrome freeways in five quite distinctly different levels.”

Have you played Kentilla? That was one of my favourites on the Speccy - outside of the Magnetic Scrolls ones of course, which were the kings of text adventures in that time

Great post. You have to go to great lengths when storing m/c in a rem statement on a VIC-20. Fortunately, Nine Tiles spared us of that pain on the ZX81 and even gifted us SAVE/LOAD "" CODE on the speccy.

Nev: Oh come on it wasn’t what that bad how about we make a *hush* Nev doesn’t know if he should be flattered or offended either way Speccy gets the award for shutting up the smart ass raven. Just squish that beak.

Possibly. +3 and a multiface was absolutely the best way to experience the Speccy though.
October 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM
Both great picks! The Master System and Game Gear use SN76489-style sound with three squares plus noise, and the Spectrum 128's AY-3-8912 is also three squares plus noise, just with a different character. The Speccy scene is still huge, plenty to explore.
