The game has thousands of mazes to explore, a versatile powerup system, several enemy types, a few bosses and a number of secrets. The game can end after the 7th level or continue indefinitely. There's an options menu where you can set a specific random maze seed - handy for exploring, or doing a head-to-head challenge with another person, as the same seed will give you the same "randomized" map".

A retro graphics compositor for Blender by uri_inbar
Pieces of 8-bit is a retro graphics compositor for Blender. If you grew up with a ZX Spectrum, a Commodore 64, an Amstrad CPC, or an MSX, this tool lets you relive that magic — right inside Blender.
Built on a series of Geometry Nodes modifiers, Pieces of 8-bit works like a mini Photoshop for 8-bit hardware. A canvas modifier sets your screen resolution and border size, layer modifiers let you stack images, videos, text and color gradients, and a converter modifier handles the final conversion to authentic hardware palettes and color limitations. Contextual gizmos make transforms intuitive, just like you'd expect from any modern graphics tool.
Layer features include:
Every parameter is animatable in Blender's timeline, so you can create animations and export them as standard video formats.
You can also export images directly to the native file formats of each supported machine — load your creations in emulators, on real hardware, or import them into compatible drawing apps like Multipaint for further editing.Supported machines and modes:

The arcade has been sealed for ten years. The main lock was replaced in 1984. The basement door was not, however. It opens without resistance.

Gracias a iniciativas como la disponible en Solvalou, los usuarios pueden acceder a un sistema de IA a través de internet, incluso desde sus máquinas clásicas.
En plena fiebre por la inteligencia artificial, alguien ha tenido una idea tan brillante como irresistible para cualquier amante de lo retro: llevar ChatGPT… ¡a nuestros ordenadores clásicos!
Ahora puedes chatear con una IA directamente desde tu viejo equipo, como en los mejores días del BBS… pero con tecnología del siglo XXI. ¿Será posible verlo en ZX Spectrum?
El invento responde al nombre de ChatGPT Telnet Gateway, y su propuesta es tan sencilla como fascinante: permitir el acceso al modelo de inteligencia artificial de OpenAI a través de una conexión telnet.
¿El requisito? Disponer de un ordenador clásico con conexión a internet y un cliente telnet. Por ejemplo, sistemas equipados con dispositivos como el popular WiFi modem tipo Hayes.

A game for C64 by Sveinacious-G
The author: "Space Invaders for the Commodore 64 has, of course, been done before.
The very first version I know of - Avenger (1982), developed by HAL Laboratory - was likely programmed by none other than Satoru Iwata, long before he became president of Nintendo.
There are even near arcade-perfect ports here on itch.io.
SG Invaders MMXXVI takes a slightly different approach.
Instead of chasing perfect accuracy, this version goes all-in on what the C64 does best - delivering something smoother, and more visually engaging than the original.
This is achieved by leaning heavily into the machine’s strengths:
The result? A version that is more colorful, more responsive, and - in my admittedly biased opinion - more fun to play".

Quantum entanglement at its best!
Take control of two entangled little guys traveling through a series of intricate levels. They move in unison; guide both to the finish flags without stepping in the opposite colours. Sometimes a well-placed crate can be a great help. Have an eye out for those pesky canon balls though!

A Post-Apocalyptic Fruit Salad Nightmare for ZX Spectrum. CRAP GAME 2026.
Spoiler warning: Download and play the game first if you'd rather experience the fruit-based carnage fresh.
The Earth has passed through a region of space bombarded by unusually intense radiation, breaching the heliosphere and triggering a chain of mutations in all living organisms. Humans, fruits, and vegetables have merged into horrifying new forms of life. Otherwise, everything remains perfectly normal. You are a banana. The artichokes are furious. A mutant coconut awaits your confrontation in what can only be described as the most ambitious RPG ever coded in Sinclair LOGO—a programming language designed to teach children basic geometry by moving a turtle around the screen.
Let that sink in for a moment: someone has weaponised an educational tool from the 1980s to create a text-based dungeon crawler about anthropomorphic produce engaged in mortal combat. The turtle, mercifully, was not harmed during development, though your dignity certainly will be.
You begin in THE FRUIT BOWL with 15 hit points (represented as "YOUR PEEL" because of course it is) and must navigate a randomly generated nine-room labyrinth featuring such delights as A CRUMBLING COMPOST SHRINE, THE CENTRAL SUSPICIOUS PANTRY, THIS ROOM SMELLS OF OLD SALAD, and the ominously titled SOMETHING HAS BEEN PEELED HERE. The map layout randomises each playthrough across three configurations, and certain passages are "PEELED SHUT"—locked doors that require a BANANA PEEL KEY to unpeel. Yes, you read that correctly. Your own discarded skin is the key. The existential implications are staggering.
Random encounters with HORRENDOUS ARTICHOKES punctuate your journey, triggering turn-based combat where you can either attack (A) or run (R). Fleeing causes you to "SLIP AWAY ON YOUR OWN PEEL" whilst losing 2 HP, which is both mechanically sound and deeply embarrassing for a banana. Victory heals you for 2 HP, encouraging aggressive play, whilst defeat results in being "MUSHED"—the botanical equivalent of a gruesome death. Reach zero peel points and "YOU HAVE GONE BROWN," which is game over in the most organically depressing way imaginable.
The endgame awaits in room 9, where YOU SENSE A HARD PRESENCE. That would be the mutant coconut, a 15 HP monstrosity that "ROLLS AT YOU" with murderous intent. Crack the coconut and you win. Fail and you're compost. Upon victory—or your inevitable mulching—the game cheerfully asks "FRUIT AGAIN? Y/N" as if you haven't just endured botanical warfare. Press Y and the madness begins anew with a fresh random map. The entire adventure is navigated with single-keypress commands (N/S/E/W for movement, A/R for combat), because LOGO wasn't designed for complex input and neither, apparently, were you.
The writing is where this shines. Every message drips with produce-based wordplay: doors are peeled rather than opened, your health is your peel, death is going brown or being mushed, and the atmosphere oscillates between absurdist comedy and genuine dungeon-crawling tension. It's a proper roguelike—permadeath, randomised layouts, resource management—implemented in a language meant to teach seven-year-olds about angles and loops. The fact that it works, let alone entertains, is a minor miracle of vegetable violence.

Drone Breaker is a focused MSX2 shooter by Japanese developer Tomioka, built on tight dodging and smart power‑ups. Or maybe it’s just a dream?
The term “bullet hell” is popular when it comes to shooters, especially on other systems. On the MSX, though, we haven’t really seen them – until now. Drone Breaker unleashes more bullets than you can shout “TAKE THAT, BASTARD!”
This razor‑sharp MSX2 shooter stands out with its unique style, offering a fresh twist on the vertical shooter genre. It might be a dream, or maybe a nightmare, since the craft you’re piloting looks strikingly like a woman.
Blast through thick swarms of drones, give them your missiles, and drop bombs to clear the screen. Clever power‑ups slow enemies, erase bullets, or make you invincible, keeping the intensity high and the action nonstop. When you think you’re done, meet the end-boss.

The Skynet demo was created during the first quarter of 2018. The Next's FPGA core was still evolving and had a maximum system clock speed of 14MHz. There was no NEX file format back then, so it exploited the 128K snapshot.
Sadly, the demo was never officially released, as the audio engine did not support HDMI output. I've decided to remaster and release Skynet as it was lost in time...
Skynet is compatible with 1MB ZX Spectrum Nexts, clones, and MAME. Due to the remaster, a 28MHz core is required.
There are three Easter Eggs if you can find them ;)
The demo displays an error if the file is fragmented. Use the DEFRAG dot command or try copying the file again to your SD card.
