"Office Slacker" (2026) for ZX Spectrum

A game for ZX Spectrum by lawlord 


Office Slacker is an action/arcade game for ZX Spectrum 48K. The user is assigned to complete Q1_BUDGET.XLS but instead plays a pub-themed mini-game hidden on the computer. The player must quickly conceal the mini-game behind a fake spreadsheet whenever a bald boss approaches to check on their progress. There are two simultaneous avoid-detection challenges: monitoring the boss and the eyes in the pub mini-game. As the user progresses, more eyes appear and the boss speeds up. The game features full ROM beeper sound effects and a custom loading screen.

This title functions as a beta version, distributed as freeware, presented for the CSSCGC 2026. Development involved both human planning and AI input for visual and code elements. 

The internal mini-game references 'Piss in a Pint' by Mat Gubbins (CSSCGC 2015).

Dodge Rush -ZX Spectrum-

Alexandre Colella has perpetrated Dodge Rush -CSSCGC2026-


You control a black diamond that moves constantly in snake style using O/P/Q/A. There is no stop — you are always moving forward. You must avoid red sticks travelling horizontally or vertically, yellow diagonal sticks that are difficult to see against the white background, green square flies moving in patterns, and a caterpillar boss that moves horizontally across the screen, reversing at the edges.

Power-ups appear: an invincibility globe that works for a short time, and a magenta tortoise that is supposed to slow down the enemies. In practice the tortoise seems bugged — its effect is barely noticeable once the game speeds up. There is also a boss bar at the top of the screen. When it empties, the caterpillar stops moving, leaves its corpse on screen, and another caterpillar immediately appears.

The game features a combo multiplier that increases as you survive longer and dodge more enemies. The longer you last, the faster everything moves. And of course, there’s a leaderboard so you can proudly show the world your impressive high score in this masterpiece.

Final Verdict

Alexandre Colella has perpetrated Dodge Rush, a game that is ugly, and annoyingly repetitive, with barely-working power-ups and a boss that doesn’t even pretend to be a boss. Play it anyway. Go on, savour the pure, sweet taste of premium crap.

The aim of the game is to push with the bulldozer all of the boxes onto blue or light blue fields.  With the joystick, you can move the bulldozer around, but you can only push and not pull boxes. On white or light blue fields the boxes keep sliding unless hitting a border or another box. On blue and green fields boxes moved only on field at the time. Boxes and Bulldozer can not move into the black. You can push only one box at once. To restart a Level just press the fire button. In the game you can turn the music on or off with m-key.

If you wanna play a level later again note down the level symbol that you can see in the top left corner.  The symbol can be entered on the title screen to jump directly to that level. 

The game had been programmed compltly in assembler by armin kielack. elena kielack had encoded the music for this game.    

The more than 200 Levels for this first c64 isometric sokoban game had been designed (and checked that iz is solveable) by : Yippee, Marleen, Shirls, Janene, Breanna, Me, kielack, gianna439, jimbo, bob50, rabbits2, punkin514, starwars, arg410, tleit004, prabakaran, tumshee, CallumMcclellan, sha718, and pokemaster99.

Bomb Jack GX -Amstrad CPC & GX-

A conversion of the arcade game for the Amstrad 464/6128 Plus computers and GX4000 console by Anthony Flack


Based on Bomb Jack Extra Sugar for the Amstrad CPC.

This new port does not contain all of the extra features and game modes of Extra Sugar (which I'm not sure many people bothered with to be honest) but rather is a straightforward port of the arcade game which makes use of the Amstrad Plus features, namely extra colours and hardware sprites. 



Gameplay is ported directly from Extra Sugar with some small tweaks to bring the difficulty closer to the arcade game. 

The game will work on any Amstrad Plus computer or GX4000 console.  Recommended for use with the Pico-GX cartridge.

Featuring: 
* Arcade-faithful gameplay at 50hz
* Dozens of sprites and up to 50 colours on screen at once
* Persistent high scores when used with ACE-DL emulator or Pico-GX cartridge

Broken Altars -C64-

 by drmortalwombat


Broken Altars is a puzzle game for C64!

You are the well known archeologist Fumbling Fred, renowned for his successful rebuilding of ancient ruins from more than sketchy details while pocketing some undisclosed amounts of gold. Thus well endowed with academic laurels and the necessary funding, you take on the quest to rebuild sixteen ancient altars that have been broken thousands of years ago.


All archaeologists start with a basic pickaxe and acquire additional tools buying from a shop in between excavation campaigns.  You collect gold and altar pieces.  Once you buy the ancient papyri showing the layout of the altar to rebuild, you can try to piece the collected fragments back together to advance to the next.
