Alien Breed Fan Remake Next -ZX Spectrum NEXT-

 by filharvey


Alien Breed Next — Playable Prototype

Tight corridors. Hostile aliens. Four sections between you and escape.

Explore an infested space station in this unofficial, fan-made top-down shooter for the ZX Spectrum Next, inspired by Alien Breed. Find access keys, unlock bulkheads and fight your way from Docking through Maintenance and Reactor to Escape.

Keep an eye on your supplies: health and ammunition carry between sections, and the final exit is your way out.

Alien Breed Fan Remake Next -ZX Spectrum NEXT-

In this build

- One playable level across four connected 768×768 map sections.

- 320×256 Layer 2 graphics with scrolling in both directions.

- 32×32, 4-bit marine and alien sprites.

- A larger docking bay with a 192×144 shuttle, consoles, recessed vents, machinery and cable runs.

- Shooting, pursuing aliens, health and ammo pickups, keys and locked bulkheads.

- Title screen, controls menu, pause, death, restart and final extraction.

- Short AY sound effects.

Latest visual update

Floor seams now line up across decorative tiles, wall shading wraps around inside and outside corners, and ventilation grilles have recessed frames. The shuttle is three times wider and taller, with an expanded hangar and a clear route around it. Scattered decorative arrows have been removed. The ship now rests above a closed split docking hatch with guide rails and warning stripes. Wall edging remains continuous beside equipment, and the hangar console has more clearance. The docking hatch is scenery, not an animated mechanism.

Super Action Cornhole -CollecoVision-

 by DIRoccoVision


Cornhole comes to the ColecoVision, from the backyard to your television. Each frame, both players throw four bags at the board: 1 point for a bag on the board, 3 for a bag in the hole. At the end of a frame, the first to 21 wins.

Before each throw, step left or right with the joystick to choose your line, then choose your shot. With a Super Action Controller, each color button throws its own. YELLOW is the slider, a solid toss onto the board. ORANGE is the airmail, a high lob dropped at the hole that clears the bags in its way but can sail off the back. PURPLE is the blocker, a soft toss that stops on the front of the board to guard the hole. BLUE is the push, a flat, hard throw that drives the bags it hits up the board, and sometimes into the hole. With a standard controller, press 1 to 4 on the keypad to pick the shot, then either button to throw; the button alone throws the slider.

The board gets crowded. A bag that lands on another knocks it: hit it square and it jumps up the board, clip its edge and it only nudges aside, and a bag knocked into a third can move that one too. Knock a bag off the edge and it's out; knock one into the hole and it scores 3 for whoever threw it, just as in the real game. The mini-board beside the court shows every bag from above, so you always know what you're aiming at.

Play the computer or play a friend. Pick Standard scoring, where both players keep what they score, or Cancellation, where only the frame's winner scores, and only the difference. At the end of each frame the scores flash, the players walk to the other end to a "Charge!" fanfare, and the view turns around, from a mountain sunset to a city skyline. Win, and the closing screen shows the final score: press the button for a rematch, or # for the menu. Press * at any time in a game to pause.

Sink a bag and your player jumps for joy while the screen flashes in your color. Flocks of geese pass overhead, birds chirp and a cicada hums between throws, and an original song opens the game. Every bag sounds like what it hit: a wooden tok on the board, a thud in the grass, a clack when it knocks another bag, a falling "fwoop" through the hole. At game point a quiet pulse tells you this throw matters, and the winner gets a tune. With a Lundy speech module Super Action Cornhole talks: it calls each frame, cries "In the hole, three points!", reads the score after every frame and names the winner, and the voice switches off from the menu.

☀ GLOOMKEEP II: WHAT THE LIGHT WAKES ☀ -C64-

by J5


☀ TEN FLOORS · TEN GUARDIANS · ONE DAWN ☀

🕯 Your lantern is a stolen god, and it is telling them where you are.


You escaped GloomKeep with the Idol of Orcus. It burns, and it will not go out. Ten floors above you the Spire opens onto the sky, and only the dawn can burn it away.

GLOOMKEEP II is a turn-based dungeon crawler for the Commodore 64 where the light that lets you see is the light that gives you away.

Carry the Idol and the dungeon opens up around you, and everything inside that light wakes up and sees you. Set it down and you disappear into the dark. But the stairs will not open for empty hands, so every clever sneak ends with a walk back to fetch it.

Round UP -CollecoVision-

Saddle up! ROUNDUP is riding onto the ColecoVision


(WIP) In 1981, Bob Whitehead's Stampede put Atari 2600 owners on horseback, chasing a runaway herd with nothing but a lasso. Roundup brings that game to the ColecoVision, built from the original cartridge's own rules and redrawn in full ColecoVision color.

Ride up and down across six lanes of cattle and press fire to throw your rope. Jerseys are worth 25, Guernseys 15 and dark red Herefords 3, and a Black Angus is worth 100 if you can rope it before it rears your horse. Ride into a row to herd it forward, steer clear of the skulls on the trail, and don't let a dogie fall behind: you can afford three strays, plus one more for every 1,000 points.

Highlights:

• Eight levels, from Sidekick to Cattle Baron, with Novice (long rope) and Expert (short rope)

• A herd that picks up speed over about three minutes, just as on the 2600

• Pass 10,000 points and the steer's-head brand appears

• Speech with a Lundy speech module: "Saddle up and head 'em out!", your score at the end, and a voice ON/OFF switch

• New title and closing artwork, and an attract mode that rides on its own

• Runs on the ColecoVision and the Coleco ADAM

Bomber-Basic-Amstrad -Amstrad CPC-

 by Altanerus Dog


Altanerus: "Programar en BASIC es agradable porque te permite interactuar de cerca con la máquina. Con Bomber-Basic-Amstrad he querido seguir la pauta de aquellos primerizos juegos programados íntegramente en BASIC, como ya lo hice con Tetris-Basic-Amstrad, pero esta vez con otro título emblemático como lo fue Bomberman de 1983 (Hudson Soft). Se podía portar el juego al BASIC del Amstrad con sus numerosas limitaciones; vean ustedes mismos.

Bomber-Basic-Amstrad se puede denominar como el clon más sencillo que existe, con 6.3 Kb, y queda claro que no ostenta nada, solo es una demostración. Dispone de 9 niveles diferentes con final, ya que odio los juegos que no lo tienen. Es lento, ya que volvemos a confiar en la matriz bidimensional con numerosos bucles y, lo más importante, es 100% Basic, pero es totalmente jugable y muy adictivo. Solo debes cogerle la práctica".

Warmux (ZX Spectrum Next)

 by sherk128


Turn-based worm artillery for the ZX Spectrum Next. Two teams of three, eleven maps, terrain that really breaks, wind, and sixty seconds to land the shot before the turn runs out. Written from scratch in Z80N assembler, on a full-colour Layer 2 screen, with hardware sprites and three sound chips.

What it is

A port of Warmux (formerly Wormux) to the ZX Spectrum Next. You take turns, aim, charge the shot and try to put the other side in the water before they do it to you. Every explosion takes a real bite out of the landscape — the terrain is both the picture and the collision mask, so a crater genuinely changes where you can walk, where you can jump, and what is still covering your back.

Play against the computer at one of three difficulties, or two players at the same keyboard.

What is in it

  • 11 maps converted from the original Warmux: Island, Desert, Bankiz, Country, Pillars, Oktopus, Frog, Moon-4M, Birds, Farm, Icebergs — each with its own 256-colour palette.
  • Destructible terrain — a 512×256 world, two screens wide, scrolled by the hardware.
  • 7 weapons: bazooka, grenade, dynamite, mine, cluster bomb, gun, and a sniper rifle with a laser sight. The bazooka and grenade charge while you hold the key; the gun and the rifle fire the moment you press it.
  • Crates and medkits dropping onto the map as the match goes on.
  • Wind, falling damage and drowning — the numbers come straight from the original game's own settings.
  • A computer opponent at three levels (Rookie, Veteran, Master) that aims with the same physics and works the same keys a player does.
  • Music and sound effects at the same time — TurboSound: the music plays on the first two AY chips and the effects have the third to themselves, so neither has to give way.

Encirclers Xiuh Edition -ZX Spectrum-

 


This is a game for ZX Spectrum by Coopdevil

The author: "Exactly the same game as Encirclers just with a different background in lovely #00FFFF cyan this time (rather the somewhat stark black on acres of pure white of the original) and a different font.

Nobody asked for this but I did it anyway.

The mask is that of Xiuhtecuhtli and Xiuh- is also a Nahuatl prefix meaning turquoise.

I have absolutely no idea how that is pronounced".

MAZINGER Z (SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis)

 by NK/Soft


Mazinger Z

What if Mazinger Z had been released for the Cassette Vision in 1981?

About

The Cassette Vision was an early cartridge-based home video game console released by Epoch in Japan in 1981.

It became one of Japan's popular home video game systems in the years before the arrival of Nintendo's Family Computer (NES).

On a sudden whim, I decided to create Mazinger Z based on a simple idea:

"What if a Mazinger Z game had been released for the Cassette Vision back then?"

The game is designed to capture the simple gameplay and limited visual style of early home video games.

I hope you enjoy this little tribute to the classic era of Japanese gaming.
