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.

Dawn of the Terrorbots -ZX Spectrum & ZX Spectrum NEXT-

 

Dawn of the Terrorbots is an action platformer for the ZX Spectrum 128K and ZX Spectrum Next. 

The game is set across ten space stations, each formed as a maze with rooms, ladders, and sealed doors. The stations are overtaken by Terrorbots and protected by a Warden located in the deepest room. A single failing power grid provides electricity for lights, doors, and weapons, requiring continuous management. Every action and shot depletes the limited power supply, affecting lighting and accessibility.

The stations include sectors like the foundry, hydroponics, reactor, cryo, and core. Players must decide which two circuits to keep online in each area — lights, doors, weapons, or turrets — and proceed by disabling each node before engaging the Warden. After defeating the Warden, an escape sequence is triggered where the player has to return to the entry before the timer expires.

The game features four types of weapons and three grenade types: explosive, flare, and EMP, the last of which disables bots but drains the sector’s power. Players can perform dash rolls, utilize traps, access terminals for shields and upgrades, and rescue trapped technicians. Wardens have specific attack patterns and advanced behaviors, while Terrorbots use knock-back and stomp attacks. Progress is tracked by score, high-score tables, and passwords are provided every five levels.

The ZX Spectrum Next version includes enhancements such as Layer 2 pixel-art backgrounds, real-time lighting, hardware sprites, advanced audio with three AY chips, effects, and the ability to save high scores to SD card.

Tome of the Dead -ZX Spectrum-

 by alstepan

The Tome of the Dead lies in the Sanctum beneath eight dark depths, and it hurts all who stand near it. There is no way back up and no saving. Find the key, unlock each lair, slay its boss, and take the grate down.

Tome of the Dead is a turn-based, side-view dungeon crawler for the ZX Spectrum 128K, written entirely in Z80 assembly by AI agents (agentic development, directed and reviewed by the author). Pick a Warrior or a Mage, descend through procedurally generated depths, and see how far you get. Death is permanent.

What you get

• Two classes. The Warrior fights with sword, throwing daggers, a bow found on depth 2, and mana-fuelled power attacks. The Mage fights with a staff and five spells: Spark, Firebolt, Frost Shard, Drain Life and Lightning.
• Procedural level generation. All eight depths are generated anew every run from a 3x3 grid of rooms, with doors, ladders, pits you can jump, and traps you can search for.
• A boss on every depth. Each guards a lair and a locked grate. Kill it to open the way down. Each drops a unique treasure, from the Goblin King's Helm on depth 1 to the Mirror Helm of the Death Knight on depth 7.
• A final fight. On depth 8 you must slay the Necromancer Archmage, then destroy the Tome itself before its aura destroys you.
• A varied bestiary. Rats, bats, slimes, goblins, spiders, skeletons, vampires, ghosts, orcs, archers, mummies, necromancers, an Ogre Warlord and a Death Knight, plus the Archmage.
• Items and gear. Potions, scrolls, food, skill and spell books, weapons, armour, helmets, rings and amulets. Hunger, poison, fear, confusion and other status effects all matter.
• XP and levels, and books that teach or strengthen your abilities.
• AY-3-8912 music and sound effects (128K sound chip), with switchable sound options: all on, effects only, or off.
• Full joystick support. Kempston, Sinclair 1 and Sinclair 2 are supported, or use the keyboard with fully redefinable keys.
• A built-in how-to-play screen on first start.
