SHOVEL DUCK II - DIG DUCK! (2024) Preview, ZX Spectrum Modern ZX-Retro Gaming 2024-04-02 | An early Proof of concept showing some of the moves and one of the core 'levels'.

One was deliberately easier to find than the other). I always mock up and make proof of concepts for levels and things I'm aiming to do before building the actual game. No point in imagining a level that is a hybrid of Space Panic and Mr Driller if you can't deliver something close to what you're imagining...In developement by io.rrwm in 2024.Download here: ktbproductions.itch.io/shovel-duck-iiHuge playlist archive with games from 2024: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxOanVBhqd3v4iOX8AVEg3LVN97GGcUeE

To reach them you must steer your squad through the streets defending yourselves against attack until you reach the junctions where the gang leader is holding the civilians. Try to stay alive, wipe out the terrorists and not shoot the victims or civilians. Couldn't be easier.On the way up the street you may just happen to notice that the gangs have grenades, which they keep lobbing at your team leader. Try to anticipate where it will land and move him away. Everything keys off the leader. Gang members will go for him, snipers take pot-shots at him and the grenades always fall his way! Once he gets taken out, another team member will take over.Keep going forward and don't let the baddies get behind you. They have a particularly nasty way of neutralising SWAT teams if they get too close...

In 2001, Digital Integration released Top Gun: Combat Zones, their first game for the GameCube and PlayStation 2 as well as Windows.When Titus Interactive went bankrupt in 2005, it supposedly did not effect Titus' international subsidiaries which included Digital Integration.

Look for the Elven Wizards, only they have the wisdom to stop her.» Ogion died that night, and, with regret, you direct your steps towards Goil, the capital of the island, in search of the Elven Wizards…In this adventure you will take the role of Ged, the wizard’s apprentice. After the death of Ogion, his master, Ged must find the Elven Wizards of Maroland, and obtain the knowledge to be able to defeat the Shadow invoked by Ogion, and which killed him.

TEMPEST (2024 Edition) Longplay, ZX81 4K + CHR$128 Hi res Modern ZX-Retro Gaming 2024-03-20 | This game works on a ZX81 + 4K RAM, but there is also a version that supports CHR$128 Hi res. This is a fast "Shoot'em Up" by S.P. Kelly originally published by Micro-Gen. Despite the name this is NOT a ZX81 version of the arcade classic.This is actually a pretty intense shoot'em up game. I'm not quite sure how the scoring works though as far as, "sectors captured" and "entering sector" goes. A sector seems to be based on your survival time.The "Liner Lazers" are the most dangerous objects. Don't get trapped by them, leave a trail if missles so that they run into them and then get out of the way as they approach, from above or below.2024 version by Greg Harder.Read more and get download link here: sinclairzxworld.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5450&sid=40695942b2ae4bce6633d12f10166ac3Huge playlist archive with ZX81 games: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxOanVBhqd3uwm41hIxxc812cexbMfdEQ
SPACE FLEET (2024) ZX Spectrum Modern ZX-Retro Gaming 2024-03-19 | Space Fleet is a ZX Spectrum Chaos Inspired W40K Type-in - A discontinued Warhammer 40,000 board game from the early 90s has now been implemented in Sinclair Basic for 2 to 4 players.Author's notes: "Back in the early 90s I was a member of a “wargames” club, in another town, being something that you had to seek out in those days, particularly in towns like the one I grew up in. I happened to come across a hobby shop on a family holiday in the midlands at the turn of the decade and was fascinated. I didn’t even really understand it all properly being a bit too young but It was all I could think about after that for months until eventually I became a subs paying wargamer after finding a club a short bus ride away from home. There were all sorts of table top role playing games, wargames, and board games in circulation and for a couple of years it was how I spent every Saturday and Thursday evening. I still have a real soft spot for all things TTRPG, their rule books and lore, which I'll happily read like someone else might read a good book.I got older and became interested in other things and spent more time with my more conventional school friends, but towards the end of that time I remember a board game called Space Fleet that I got for Christmas but never got the chance to play. I had friends interested in computers but had stopped going to “wargames” by that point and had always been slightly embarrassed of my hobby even among my nerdier school friends. I did always think that it would make a good computer game however. It reminded me of Chaos on the ZX Spectrum which I had on a cover-tape and played to death. I still had a ZX Spectrum at this point along side my Master System, and it felt like it would make a great speccy game along the same lines as Chaos. I did dabble with programming back then but this would have been beyond me.Thirty plus years later and I’ve now given it a go after the resurgence of the speccy thanks to the ZX Spectrum Next, although I've stuck to 48k basic so it will run on any ZX Spectrum. In the style of a ZX Spectrum type-in, written in Sinclair Basic for old times sake. I started off using Boriel Basic, which is great, but the more I got into it the more it felt it would be more fun to create a type-in that could have existed back then. Perhaps even published in a supplement or magazine somewhere. So I have. The restrictiveness of the language and slowness of Sinclair Basic in particular created some fun problems to solve and some frustrations. BBC Basic is a much better and faster period appropriate Basic with named procedures, parameters, and else statements but a bit middle class like the hobby itself, unlike me and my ZX Spectrum, so I've had to eat the GO SUBs and GO TOs as best I can. And actually it is incomplete when compared to the board game but I think it plays well all things considered. There are no critical rolls or collisions, which I have coded around and may revisit in a future version but for now I will call this version 1. If you don't really fancy typing it all in you can download the .tap file here. There's also a github repository which I may develop further, although I definitely feel like I've scratched this particular itch for now."The game was made by Belmeister in 2024.Download here: belmeister.itch.io/space-fleetHuge playlist archive with games from 2024: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxOanVBhqd3v4iOX8AVEg3LVN97GGcUeE
