Brand New Game: Dave Infuriators by Black Jet

posted by nix./site


ScreenieOkay, here's a new platform game from England, which is completely unorthodox to anything you may have played on Spectrum before. It's controlled with only two buttons (spacebar for jumping and M for changing direction), it's full of traps, it's pretty hard to beat the clock or your own record (although that depends on what difficulty you choose).

Download it here.

Somewhat late news coming up! :)

A new game from Zeroteam (Slovakia) was released recently. Its' gameplay resembles Lines: you need to find a requested combination of two blocks on the field so it could be cleared out. Clearing out the entire row on the field will bring you more new blocks.

You can download either the original .tap flie or tiboh's TR-DOS adaptation.

[ZXEvo] Brand New Game: Project Robo by hippiman

posted by nix./site


ScreenieIt now can be honestly said that while the Russian game development seems to be back on its' feet, the ZX Evolution gamedev has only arose. Here's a fine proof: hippiman has made this quirky blend of a top-down shooter and a rouge-like game on pure C (which couldn't be possible without the SDK developed by Alone Coder and Shiru, though), which also includes eyecandy comparable to what you may see on Sega MegaDrive and really lush music from Sprinter.

Given that this game was made for a really sophisticated Spectrum clone, most of you guys might not own an actual PentEvo, but that's not a big bother, since you can run it on a very special emulator available here (use F3 to load the game, then F12 to reset to TR-DOS and autorun the game). WASD moves the player robot while cursor keys let him shoot in different directions.

Download the game itself here!
