KNIGHT ORC - ZX Spectrum Next Modern ZX-Retro Gaming 2024-10-15 | In a hole in a mound there lived an orc. Not a clear, dry sandy hole with only spiders to catch and eat, nor yet a comfortable hobbit-hole. It was an orc-hole, and that means a dirty, clammy, wet hole filled with bits of worms and a putrid smell.It had a perfectly round garbage heap, blocking the doorway, with a slimy yellow blob in the exact middle for spitting practice. The doorway opened onto a sewer-shaped hall - a deeply unpleasant tunnel filled with smoke, with secret panels, and floors snared and pitted, provided with treacherous chairs and lots and lots of booby traps - the orc was fond of visitors.But what is an orc? Orcs are not seen much nowadays, since they are shy of human beings. They are a pungent people, little bigger than overweight elves, with the charisma of blow flies and the appetite of gannets. Orcs have little or no magic, except a rudimentary skill with knives and strangling cords and, in short, they are evil little pits.This ore was unusually ugly, even for an orc. His name was Gringleguts.Grindleguts had lived in the neighbourhood of The Mountain for about a year and most people considered him two steps lower than a tapeworm, not only because of the smell and the plague, but because he kept eating their household pets.Knight Orc follows on from the events described in "The Sign of The Orc". Grindleguts has been volunteered as their champion by the other orcs, while in a drunken stupor, and tied to a horse so that he won't escape, or fall off, before the joust. Your first task, as the orc in question, is to live long enough to escape over the viaduct to Orc Mountain.The game story files and graphics are from the original Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and Amstrad CPC versions of the games. The graphics have been converted to Spectrum Next format.The games combine the layer 2 mode for showing colourful graphics and the Timex hi-res mode for displaying high-resolution text with a proportional font.

A1RL0CK (2024) ZX Spectrum +3 Modern ZX-Retro Gaming 2024-10-09 | Your hands. They hit the reinforced metal. They're starting to hurt. There's nothing to do. The safety lock is engaged. A1RL0CK is a survival text adventure about a child and some voices. Also, a lot of proteins. If you are looking for the kind of game that goes: "This is what happened and this is what you must do", A1RL0CK is probably not for you as it has an in media res approach and may result obscure to many players until quite far in the playthrough. It's a story meant to unfold step by step and it is intended to work like this. Rel.3.2 is the post-PunyJam#3 polished version with an added scoring system and a lot of vanilla systems in which to play (included C64, Spectrum +3, AtariST, Amiga, Apple II, BBC Micro) , and we recommend you play this one. Check ReadMe.txt for a full disclosure on what changed in the game.

KNIGHTMARE / Digital Version Released! (2024) ZX Spectrum Modern ZX-Retro Gaming 2024-10-08 | Welcome watchers of illusion to your new… KNIGHTMARE! Many years have passed since the dungeons of Knightmare Castle last echoed to the footsteps of a brave adventurer. But now great tumult rocks the mortal realm, and the dungeon once again opens its doors to those bold enough to venture within! Have you the courage to sweep away the cobwebs from the dungeon door and be the first to reawaken the terrors that lurk inside? The Story So Far… For many years, the dungeon of Knightmare Castle has remained locked and vaulted. A time of peace has prevailed across the kingdom under the rule of the Good Queen. For many years, peace and hope have prevailed across the land. Yet little did the citizens of the realm suspect that far beneath the Castle in the deepest catacombs did stir a mortal peril! For there beneath the mountain did the Dread Lord Fear, once thought to have been banished for all eternity, bide his time, replenishing his lost strength through sinister magic while secretly building a mighty army of undead horrors and ravening goblin hordes.Then, one day, as the cold wind howled and the full moon rose, did Lord Fear send forth his minions to ravage the peaceful lands, laying waste to all before them in a frenzy of pillage and destruction. In savage glee they salted the earth and burned the villages, before turning toward the Castle itself, whereupon they scaled the mighty battlements, overwhelmed the castle’s defences and – cackling with bestial delight – they fell upon the throne room, grasping the Crown for their dark Lord and sending the courtiers fleeing into the night.The True Queen has not been sighted since that fateful night, leaving some to believe she may remain within the Castle, though alive or dead we cannot know. The Sword of the Kingdom which grants rule over the realm has been shattered and the pieces scattered throughout the dungeons. Meanwhile, Lord Fear has begun a reign of terror, his forces sallying forth each night to terrorise and enslave the cowed population. The villagers shiver at their hearths as they hear the drone of the hunting horns of the goblin outriders, hoping that tonight will not be the night the slavers come for them.Yet amid the chaos and destruction, one man stands firm: Treguard, master of the dungeon, puts out the call far and wide for an adventurer pure of heart and noble of spirit to don the legendary Helmet of Justice and venture boldly into the heart of Knightmare Castle to unseat Lord Fear and restore order to the realm. Whomsoever will answer the call must undertake their quest to find the pieces of the shattered Sword of the Kingdom, locate the missing Queen, and by reuniting them, restore order to the realm and end Lord Fear’s tyranny.Dare you answer Treguard’s call? The reward of Knighthood awaits the adventurer who can succeed in this epic trial!
