 by Kirby2000

The Game Boy classic comes to the ZX Spectrum 48K and 128K. Turn a crowded well into a clean sweep, chase a new high score or face a friend with both boards on one screen.

Version 1.0.0 includes both editions, player instructions and a print-ready cassette inlay.

Three ways to play

• Game A: build your score as the falling speed rises.
• Game B: choose a level and starting height, then clear 25 lines.
• 2 Player: clear 30 lines or force your rival to the top. Clearing two, three or four rows together sends one, two or four rows to the other board. First to five rounds wins.

Features

• Original-style monochrome graphics, menus and level selection.
• Local head-to-head play, high scores and name entry.
• Rocket and dancer endings, plus the faster heart-mode challenge.
• 48K beeper music in menus and endings, with gameplay sound effects.

• Keyboard, Sinclair joystick ports and Kempston support.

ILLUSTRATED CRIMES – English_Version.– (ZX Spectrum)

by ZXBasicGames 

ILLUSTRATED CRIMES – THE SHOT IN ROOM 104 –

Illustrated Crimes was the gamebook of the moment during the COVID pandemic lockdown. It gave us many enjoyable hours and sharpened our wits. Later I bought the book, and I liked it so much that I decided to try bringing its first case to the computer of my childhood, the one that still brings me so much joy today. Ported to the ZX Spectrum, this isn’t a game in the usual sense; instead, I have (humbly) tried to recreate it as if we had the gamebook right in front of us. Grab a pencil and paper, write down the clues, deduce, and solve the case.

If you press “7” in the main scene, you’ll get additional clues to help you solve the case. They might help clear up any doubts.

When you think you’ve cracked the case, you can use the second load to watch a full reconstruction of the events and check whether you solved the mystery correctly.

Side A: Main scene and clue gathering.

Side B: Case solution and reconstruction of events.

A thousand thanks to Sergio ThE pOpE and The Mojon Twins for their help and tools.

Code and Graphics: Basic Games

Original work: Modesto García

Original illustrations: Javi de Castro

Music: Jimmy Devesa

Solar Trader Demo - ZX Spectrum 48k & C64-

 by Mjnurney

Complete and playable.

It is the age of the colonies. Nine worlds of the inner system - Mercury's Solar Terminus, the cloud cities of Venus, United Earth and Luna Base, New Olympus on Mars, the Io refineries, Saturn's Ringwatch, Coldharbour at Uranus and Triton Deep at Neptune - trade water, food, machinery and rare gems across the gulf between them. Beyond Neptune lie ten more settlements in the dark, where three nations fight a quiet war for the outer system.

You begin with a battered Trader, 500 credits, a 60-unit fuel tank, a 20-tonne hold and a reputation of +10. Everything you do changes how the system sees you.

The objective is to attain the highest or the lowest rank in the system: reach a reputation of +100 and be named Ambassador of Sol, or fall to -100 and become the Most Wanted Criminal, a mercenary pirate hunted by every patrol. Both take real dedication - a few hundred deeds either way. Along the road, 250,000 credits earns the title of Trade Baron. When you reach a maximum rank, you may continue playing or end the game and review your captain's log.

Like cat and dog (Como el Perro y el Gato) -ZX Spectrum-

 by CarlosITV

El autor: "Este es mi proyecto en BORIEL BASIC, con él he ido aprendiendo cosillas, y MIL COSAS MÁS que me faltan por aprender. He sido capaz, a base de ensayo, error y búsquedas en Google, de hacer CASI TODO por mí mismo, pero no soy programador, e inevitablemente la IA me ha ayudado donde mis conocimientos no llegaban; en este caso con la IA (valga la redundancia) del gato. Logré hacer casi toda la inteligencia de persecución y elección  de ruta pero tardaba una eternidad en pensar...

Quiero dar las gracias de forma muy ESPECIAL a JUNTELART por mostrarme el mundo de BORIEL BASIC y todo lo que con él se puede hacer.

Además de agradecer su infinita paciencia conmigo".

ESPAÑOL

Como el Perro y el Gato es un pequeño juego de estrategia y persecución por turnos para ZX Spectrum 48K.

Cada turno tiras un dado que determina cuántas casillas puedes mover ese turno, ¡y hay que gastar todo el movimiento!. Muévete por un tablero cuadriculado esquivando obstáculos, recoge power-ups de movimiento extra para ganar velocidad (y de paso, ¡ignora el coste de movimiento por invadir esa casilla!), o  arriésgate con los power-ups "sorpresa" (quien sabe que te pueden dar... o quitar...) y acorrala a tu rival antes de que se te acaben los turnos.

El gato (controlado por el Spectrum) no se limita a huir en línea recta: evalúa varias direcciones posibles cada turno, calcula distancias hacia el jugador y hacia los power-ups cercanos, y decide si merece la pena desviarse a por uno, si es mejor seguir huyendo, o si va a por TI.

Cuanto mas difícil te lo pongas en la configuración mas puntuación obtendrás.

Castlevania (Amstrad PCW / PCW# mini)

 by Enrique Galvez

Konami’s gothic classic comes to the Amstrad PCW!

Originally released in 1986, Castlevania combines challenging platforming, carefully timed combat and a world inspired by classic horror. This Amstrad PCW adaptation brings Simon Belmont’s battle against Dracula to Amstrad’s iconic home computer.

Count Dracula has returned! Take control of Simon Belmont, heir to a legendary family of vampire hunters, and venture into the Count’s sinister castle. Armed with your trusty whip, you must fight through his monstrous servants and reach the tower where Dracula awaits.

Make your way through dark halls, treacherous passages and deadly traps. Bats, skeletons and other creatures stand between you and your goal, while powerful bosses guard the way forward. Every jump matters, and a poorly timed attack can leave you dangerously exposed.

Upgrade your whip, discover additional weapons and learn your enemies’ movements to survive. Success demands patience, precise positioning and the courage to push deeper into the castle.

Whether you remember the original adventure or are entering Dracula’s domain for the first time, prepare for a demanding journey into the heart of an enduring gaming classic.

Take up the whip. Enter the castle. Defeat Dracula!

ZxNextMaker

Make ZX Spectrum and ZX Spectrum Next games without writing code.by Foko Games

Make ZX Spectrum and ZX Spectrum Next games without writing code.

ZxNextMaker is a game maker for the ZX Spectrum. You draw the graphics, build the rooms, put the characters and objects in place, and give them behaviours with blocks. The app writes the machine code. You get a real game: a .tap for the Spectrum 48K/128K and a .nex for the ZX Spectrum Next.

Four kinds of game

- Platformer: flip-screen rooms, variable jump, double jump, dash, melee or ranged attacks, ladders, moving platforms, conveyors, crumbling floors and a two-character mode.

- Top-down / RPG: rooms, doors, keys, NPCs, talking signs, a sword and animated tiles.

- Isometric (FOKOMATION): Knight Lore-style 3D rooms, jumping and climbing, pushable crates, Sokoban puzzles, guardians and a custom HUD.

- Text adventure: a PAW-style parser, locations, objects, illustrated rooms and a game in English or Spanish.

On the ZX Spectrum Next

Every game also exports as a .nex, and the Next version can go much further:

- 256-colour graphics (Layer 2), colour hardware sprites and the game's own palette.

- Smooth hardware scrolling, sideways and in vertical towers, with a parallax background behind it.

- Title and game-over pictures in 256 colours.

- PT3 music: load .pt3 files from Vortex Tracker II or Pro Tracker 3 for the title, the game and the game-over screen. They play on the Next's second AY chip without slowing the game.

- Nine-voice music across the Next's three AY chips.

- 28 MHz room drawing, and much more memory (up to 128 isometric rooms).

The .nex runs on its own: no ROM inside and none needed.

Everything in one app

- Pixel editors for tiles, sprites and isometric blocks, with PNG import.

- A beeper sound-effect editor, a beeper melody editor and an AY music tracker (128K).

- Title screens, loading screens, custom fonts with accents, and HUDs.

- Play your game inside the app: a built-in ZX Spectrum emulator and a full ZX Spectrum Next emulator.

- Undo/redo, a project library, and an interface in English and Spanish.

- Sample games to open, play and study, including *El Faro de Sant Bru* (in three versions: top-down, isometric and text adventure), *La Tumba*, *SokoSoko* and *Microban*.

DEFENDER - AMSTRAD CPC EDITION

The classic DEFENDER on the Amstrad CPC!

Defender, on an Amstrad CPC. It’s the same game as the ZX Spectrum Next edition: its world, landers, mutants, humans, baiter, scanner, sounds and play, rebuilt to run on a CPC in mode 0.

It runs on any 64K Amstrad CPC.

THE SAME GAME

• The landscape, the stars scrolling slower than the ground, and the scanner with its dots and view marks
• Landers take the humans up. At the top, a human is lost and its lander turns mutant
• Shoot a lander carrying a human and it falls. Catch it and set it down safely
• Mutants, the baiter, smart bombs and hyperspace
• An extra ship and smart bomb every 10,000 points
• The planet comes back every fifth wave
• The sounds, played on the CPC’s AY sound chip

BUILT FOR THE CPC

• Mode 0 screen, 160 x 200 in 16 colours
• The Next’s own sprite art, converted for mode 0 and compiled into fast Z80 drawing code
• Enemies, humans, lasers, shots and explosions all run in Z80, so it keeps up with the action
• It plays at the pace of the Next original, give or take
• It takes over the machine completely, with no return to BASIC
