ZX Spectrum thread

[FateLanegod]

I have owned this device, the photos below were taken by me after I found it in the darkest corner of a balk:

My grandma has bought it for me on local flea market as a replacement for my Tetris 99-in-1 “console”, IIRC. Cool, isn’t it?

However, I had no idea what to do with this thing. At that time nobody around me was tech savvy, so it virtually took years (that’s right, YEARS) to actually being able to run something on it with the help of my school mate who’s father was electronics engineer. It was amazing experience, but my joy and excitement didn’t last long, because soon the computer just didn’t want to turn on. And I’ve totally forgot about it since then.

We loaded some games, but I don’t remember clear what they were.

What did you do on Spectrum if you had one?

Starting with the goat

Yes, I discovered ZX Spectrum because of Donkey Kong 64.

That's a great looking ZX Spectrum. This console have a great amount of library of games (3600+). My favorite game would be Robocop which is also one of the best ports of the game for an 8 bit console

One of my favourites is the port of R-Type. Incredibly impressive for the system.

For anyone who cares, I've been working on this:

The main 48k game is about 80% complete. Once that's done I plan on making an extended 128k version with music and (hopefully) voice samples.
