Quasar Forge -ZX Spectrum NEXT-

 by refactornator


Quasar Forge is a ship-building space combat game for the ZX Spectrum Next, inspired by the open source 'Event Horizon' by Pavel Zinchenko. The game uses 320x256 256-colour graphics in Layer 2 and is written in Z80N assembly.

Players start at the edge of a spiral galaxy consisting of 35 sectors arranged in four rings. Each sector contains nine areas, with a boss at the center. Defeating the boss conquers the sector and unlocks adjacent sectors. Progressing inward, players face escalating opposition: corvettes, frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, leading to the final confrontation with the OVERLORD battle station.

Ships defeated in battle drop credits and components. Salvaged wrecks can be added to a fleet of up to eight ships. In the hangar, players configure their ships cell by cell, fitting weapons, armor, reactors, devices, and drives. Components can be combined to form higher-grade equipment. Planets held by the player offer raiding opportunities via scrolling shooter levels, granting credits and blueprints for advanced parts manufacturing.

'Quasar Forge' incorporates gameplay features such as customizable ship-building, strategic sector progression, salvaging, equipment upgrading, and a mix of top-down galactic exploration with scrolling shooter sequences.

Defeat Chaos -ZX Spectrum NEXT-

A HeroQuest-inspired turn-based dungeon crawler for the ZX Spectrum Next by Hash6Iron


A HeroQuest-inspired turn-based dungeon crawler for the ZX Spectrum Next

Gather your party — Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf and Wizard — and descend into the dungeon to defeat the forces of Chaos. Defeat Chaos recreates the thrill of a tabletop adventure as a full turn-based game, built from the ground up for the power of the new ZX Spectrum Next.

Features

  • 4 playable heroes, each with their own strengths, equipment and — for the Wizard — a hand of elemental spells to master.
  • Turn-based tactical combat, with full-colour illustrated combat scenes for every type of monster and every outcome of the fight.
  • A full campaign of missions, with character creation, an equipment shop between adventures, and persistent heroes.
  • Mouse and keyboard support, alongside Kempston joystick, for smooth, modern-feeling control of a classic-style game.
  • Original music and sound effects, built for the ZX Spectrum Next's expanded sound hardware.
  • Built natively for the ZX Spectrum Next, taking advantage of its Layer 2 graphics and extra memory to deliver illustrations and animation far beyond what the original 8-bit Spectrum could do.

No Trust (ZX Spectrum Next)

 by shrek128


A platformer for the ZX Spectrum Next where you can't trust anything. Not even the floor.

You are Jax, a maintenance engineer from Sector Nine. You came to repair the station's core and found the names of the crew it had erased. You copied the missing crew log – and the core marked you for deletion. Every exit locked. Thirty sectors full of machines stand between you and the surface.

Your suit can restart your heart. It cannot make the next room safe.

About the game

  • 30 sectors, 120 hand-built rooms. Each sector introduces one new idea and four rooms that push it a little further every time.
  • The machines play by rules. Every trap behaves the same way every time. A saw warns you before it comes out, a press has a moment of delay. Learn the rules and you get through.
  • Old traps come back. From sector eight on, traps from earlier sectors join each new mechanism, and the last sectors throw several at you at once.
  • Quick restarts. Death puts you back at the start of the room. The game does count every one of them, though.
  • Your progress is saved. The highest sector you reached stays unlocked, and you can start from it.
  • Music: Respawn Rush by Shrek / MB Maniax.

The Warhorse -ZX Spectrum-

A platform game for ZX Spectrum by cosmooster


The Warhorse

A bold and loyal horse has perished in a brutal war, and must make their way through purgatory to prove their virtue in this life and the next. Chased by demons and steaming lava, can you collect the holy relics and guide them into the light?

This game was hand-coded from scratch in pure Z80 assembly, with no pre-made engine or libraries, no LLMs at all for anything (we use NO AI), no Googling, no copy-pasting, and no prior knowledge, using mainly "retro" development tools. All assets (art, music, text...) were likewise manually human-made.

The Great Giana Sisters (ZX Spectrum)

 by kirby2000


The Great Giana Sisters on the ZX Spectrum: all 33 stages, the bonus rooms, the hidden warps and every power-up.

A Spectrum version was reviewed back in 1988, then withdrawn before it reached the shops, and no copy is known to survive. This is a new conversion, made to fill that gap.

Two covers: UK or German

The game comes with a choice of two covers, one for each of the original boxes:

  • UK cover (Rainbow Arts)
  • German cover (Time Warp)

Each has its own loading screen and its own printable cassette inlay. Apart from that the games are identical, and both are in English, so just pick the cover you like best.

The Last Putt

Retro golf for the ZX Spectrum Next and N-Go. Read the wind, choose your club and time your swing. Go straight for the flag, play it safe down the fairway or send a low chip rolling across the green. Once you’re putting, check the slope and use your one prediction per turn to judge the break.

Build Dangerous Spectrum -ZX Spectrum-

 by revive8bits


Build Dangerous Spectrum is a game for ZX Spectrum.

Thanos is a building inspector. He is also immortal, which is the only reason he still has the job.

Every building in town is about to open, and every owner has the same plan: cut the ribbon, let the crowd in, and hope nobody finds the live wires, the hungry guard ferret and the "NOT A COMPACTOR" room before the insurance runs out. Thanos's job is to find every trap first. Since nothing can kill him, the quickest way to make a trap safe is to walk up to it and set it off. Then he signs the room off and moves on, while the crowd outside gets more impatient by the second.

He is immortal. Unimpressed. On duty.

Nintendo Game & Watch on ZX Spectrum 48K — Sharp SM510 Emulator

 by tuklusan

Nintendo Game & Watch on ZX Spectrum 48K — Sharp SM510 Emulator

19 games. Real ZX Spectrum emulation. Original gameplay, LCD animations, and glorious misses.

What happens when a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K pretends to be a Nintendo Game & Watch?

It works. All nineteen times.

This collection brings 18 classic Nintendo Game & Watch LCD handheld gamesto the ZX Spectrum using a cycle-accurate Sharp SM510 emulator written in Z80 assembly. It also includes Munchy, a completely original LCD-style maze game.

These are not graphical remakes. The Spectrum's Z80 executes the original handheld game programs through an emulated 4-bit Sharp microcontroller, preserving their logic, timing, LCD segments, sounds, and Game A/B modes.

Two very different pieces of 1980s hardware. One unlikely collaboration.

Christina-Ley la sangre de Bran -ZX Spectrum-

 by michel


Christina-Ley la sangre de Bran es una aventura de texto para el ZX Spectrum.

El juego consta de 7 capítulos.

La aventura se desarrolla por opciones, con pequeños toques "boleros" como la energía y vampiros que nos protegen.

Transilvania, 1820. Hace cien años, la Orden del Fresno quemó viva a una mujer llamada Christina. De sus cenizas se levantó Christina-Ley, señora de la noche, que duerme en su cripta con su perrito Benito-Ley.

Esta noche, un crujido de piedra la despierta: alguien ha profanado su cripta y ha robado el relicario de su madre, lo único que le queda de su vida humana. Las huellas llevan al pueblo de Bran, al bosque de los lobos y a la abadía de la Orden. Habrá que hablar con todos, buscar pistas y desconfiar: no todos dicen la verdad.

Aldeanos, curas y monjes la esperan con estacas y agua bendita. Christina tiene poderes: lee la mente, se transforma en murciélago, hipnotiza y puede convertir a sus víctimas en aliados. Pero cada noche tiene un final, y el amanecer no perdona.

Doctor Who – Adventure Game -PC-

Graphical adventure, slightly reminiscent of the old LucasArts games by Sokurah 


Doctor Who – Adventure Game is just what it sounds like. You take control of the Fourth Doctor in this original graphical adventure that sees him visit many locations and encounter many foes – all of which are inspired by “real” locations from the show’s “classic era” (1963-1989), and along the way you have to solve various puzzles – some of which are also inspired by events from the TV show. Along the way you will encounter and interact with known characters such as Sarah Jane Smith, K9 and enemies such as Daleks, Cybermen, Krotons and others.

The game itself is inspired by games like Pyjamarama and the classic LucasArtsadventures games. You walk around the scenery, uncover items by examining things and then use those items to solve puzzles which will allow you to get further into the game. So grab your Sonic Screwdriver, hop into your TARDIS and get out there and explore the galaxy. Enjoy.

The legendary Metal Gear by Konami, originally released for the MSX2, comes to the Amstrad CPC 6128 through an unofficial fan-made port.

The project aims to recreate the original game's experience on Amstrad's classic 8-bit computer, preserving as much of the original content and gameplay as possible while adapting it to the CPC's hardware limitations.

Additional features include an options menu with a built-in colour palette editor and support for both English and Greek text.

Beta 1 is still a work in progress. Some features require further development, including unique boss sprites and behaviour, additional character animations, radio graphics, sound improvements and fixes for occasional enemy flickering.

Two versions are available: the main tested Beta 1 build and an experimental version featuring checkpoint-based CONTINUE.
