Pit With Monsters is a port of a ZX81 type-in to compiled Boriel Basic for the ZX Spectrum.
The original game source/LISTing was published in ZX Computing June/July 1983 and was written by Jim Enness.
Tips
- Combat costs you hit points but treasure (not gold) boosts hit points after the battle by +30 per item.
- Spells are all of the Magic Missile type and might work/might not. You can recover spells via some types of treasure at +1 per item. Press S after combat and looting finding to see what effect they have had.
- You can run around at negative hit points if falling into pits etc. but you will be gambling on being able to a - kill monsters via spells instead of combat, and b - finding enough non-gold treasure to build your hit points back up again. So being alive on -152 hit points is a feature not a bug.
- Passageways only rarely have monsters (a sort of Wandering Monster check) but never have treasure. So while they are safer routes to try and wait for stairs to arrive you will not be recovering hit points and spells. You need to risk doors and cave entrances to search out the treasure.
- Continually retreating is risky, the computer hates a coward.
- A monster is as tough as it's hit points.
-Screech Bats are bastards. That is all.
-As are acid pits but you'd expect that really.

Supernatural short story for ZX Spectrum Next, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad PCW, MSDOS, C64, Amiga and Atari ST by Alan Pemberton
THE SECRET OF BARRON WOOD is a supernatural short story in the form of a text adventure. Venture into the deep wood and explore its darkest recesses, where a century-old secret awaits your discovery.
The game was designed to have a retro feel, harking back to the heyday of adventuring in the 1980s. It can be run on a variety of the old 8-bit favourites, as well as more modern computers.
It was intended from the outset to be short and the puzzles straightforward to solve, so that it can be completed in a single session, just like a short story.
> NORTH (or just N) to go north
> NE (to go northeast)
> EXAMINE FLOWERS (or X FLOWERS to examine flowers)
> LOOK (or just L, redescribes your location)
> GET ITEM (allows you to pick up an item listed in the description)
> OPEN BOX (some objects are containers)
> GET ITEM FROM BOX
> PUT ITEM INTO BOX
> SAVE (to save your progress - note down the file name you use)
> LOAD (or RESTORE, to load it back in)
>RAMSAVE (saves to RAM, use RAMLOAD to load again)
> SCORE (displays your current score. This can go up and down, and it's possible to get to the end with a score of less than 100%)
> QUIT (when you've had enough!)
Game notes:
The game was written using the DAAD adventure writing system and compiled to the various formats using DAAD Ready (version A1). Images were initially created by AI (chiefly Google Image FX and then imagetocartoon.com). If you prefer not to play games made with the assistance of AI, then try the 128K Spectrum, Commodore 64 or Amstrad PCW versions, as they are text only. I was originally only going to make versions for ZX Next and QL, but since DAAD Ready offers all these options for other retro micros, it would have been rude not to use them. Hope you find your favourite amongst them.
The locations are inspired by the woods next to the house where I grew up. However, the story and characters are all completely invented.

ZX Spectrum game - update of old Sinclair Programs type-in by Coopdevil
A port to compiled Boriel Basic of Fryolites, a type-in game originally written by G. Sweeten and published in Sinclair Programs August 1983. It's an early take on the "Snake" design.
The author has added joystick support (Kempston, Cursor), QAOP keyboard support, redefined font (courtesy of https://damieng.com/typography/zx-origins/), an actual in-game score board (the original lacked this) and thrown away the level progression and difficulty curve.
The original has just 7 levels. This version just turns into a wrist splinter as the speed and number of obstacles ramps up through the levels.
Take 100 "steps" per level, avoid the flashing blocks ("Fryolites" whatever that means - sounds like something to fry your bacon in), the wall, and your own tail.

Asalto y Castigo fue publicada en 2009, como una precuela de El Trono de Inglaterra. Ahora, se encuentra disponible, para su descarga, en la página de itch de este autor.
La trama discurre antes los acontecimientos narrados en el relato anterior, concretamente, la vuelta a Westmorland desde una expedición de castigo a una aldea sajona (Ulfius, Uther y Arturo Pendragón eran britanos). En una época en la que inglaterra se llamaba Locres, y de la que la mayor información que perdura en la mente de todos es la leyenda artúrica, magia, caballeros y druídas se reúnen para contar una historia protagonizada, en realidad, por seres humanos.
Una aventura de texto, para el ZX Spectrum de fantasía medieval, muy valorada.

Classic fast action platformer with Adrian, featuring stunning graphics and sound by ntpr
and the main hero of this new adventure is none other than Adrian, a very close friend of Crystian. When he saw how difficult it was for Crystian to search for his lost almost-crystals, he decided he couldn't just stand by and had to help him immediately! (Author's note: though, he's also doing it partly so they can play GTA VI together later, because it would take Crystian an eternity to find and collect all of his lost almost-crystals ;)

It is the height of WWII. Germany has conquered most of Europe, and Britain is suffering under constant seige by air. The dark shadow of facism looms heavy over the free people of the world. You are Sgt Kozwowski of the Polish special forces. Captured as part of a resistance cell opposing the German and Russian occupation of Poland, you are transported to the dread castle Wolfenstein just over the border in Germany for interrogation and execution, or possibly worse.
Befriending one of your guards is not difficult. He seems uncomfortable with what the Nazis are doing to the people of Poland. It is a shame then that you have to strangle him to get the key to your cell and a knife, but this is war. Escape is your first priority, but as a member of the resistance you won't pass up this opportunity to hurt the German war machine and avenge the people of Poland. As you make your way thru the dark corridors you can't shake the feeling that something is not quite right. You slowly open a door and peek inside, What the!!! Is that a spider?? It sure looks like a spider but I have never seen one the size of a small dog!! Seems those rumors of weird scientific experiments may be true. It looks like this is going to be one strange day. Good-luck soldier, the free world holds you in its prayers.

Shards es una agradable sorpresa que acaba de salir en el vasto mundo STEAM, y además, gratuito.
Lo que más destaca de este twin-stick-shooter es el aspecto visual, en un cuidado entorno isométrico 3D encantador que recrea una atmósfera, única. Recrearnos en cada estancia de la "ciudad" mientras controlamos un pequeño robot es todo un placer. Además, la jugabilidad es muy táctica en cada uno de los combates contra los jefes.
Este juego es un proyecto de estudiantes para su graduación, ISART DIGITAL, y lo único malo es su corta duración, en apenas 20'-30' podemos terminarlo. No obstante, y siendo a coste 0, vale la pena cada uno de los minutos que dura.

Alien Ooze is an Atari 2600 game!
Somewhere in the vast depths of space, a mission has gone horribly wrong. The mission started like many that have come before. Explore an unsearched planet for valuable resources. These long term missions were usually husband and wife teams but Holly and Dennis were not married, yet. They would be getting married after returning from this mission.
The landing on U54381 was uneventful. The life scans came up with nothing more then simple multi-celluar organisms. But there was a huge hit on the mineral analysis in a nearby cave. Dennis brought out the rover and they headed for the cave to see what awaited.
Once inside the cave they disembarked and started running scans going seperate directions to cover more ground. Holly followed a very promising reading and wandered away. Then she saw something move. Her eyes widened. "Uh… what was that?" Grabbing her pistol, she trembled as she crept closer to where she had last seen it. However, all she found was a large green puddle on the ground. "Huh. Must’ve been my imagination." Then, the puddle moved, and formed into a sphere, rolling into her ankles. "What the heck?" She stared down at it. "Well, that’s just weird!" Then her boot started to smoke. Holly ran back to the rover, dropping the pistol. Hiding behind a pile of supplies, she peeked out to see if it was still there. To her horror, she watched the ball of goo grow an appendage, pick up the pistol, and roll towards her.
Holly screamed for Dennis and he appeared next to her and shot the blob several times. All that was left of it was a puddle of non-moving slime. Dennis looked down at Holly and said, "I think we should get out of here". He reached out his hand to help Holly up just as a glob of goo landed on him from above. He stood there for a second before he started screaming, and his body began to dissolve. Holly ran back to the rover as numerous blobs started falling all around her. Slamming the door shut, she jumped into the pilots seat and activated the laser cannon.
Trapped on a planet in an unknown part of the Galaxy. Fight for your life against the ALIEN OOZE!!
