The Spectrum Show 16K — Invaders

The Spectrum Show 16K Edition. Invaders by Artic Computing 1982. Is this a poor character based jerk-fest or one of the best Space Invaders games for the Spectrum?

Image To ZX Spec 1.3.4 Released

posted by TecSoft


i2zx
As a reminder, Image To ZX Spec is a multi core capable image and video converter that can produce vintage computer art images (jpeg/png) of any size and can even convert work to a real ZX Spectrum (or an emulator) as a slideshow or video. This is useful to create retro 8bit music videos, posters, tshirts, mock screenshots etc etc - you do not even need a Spectrum to use this program!

Version 1.3.4:

  • Updated for Java 7.
  • Added VLC compatible video importing option.
  • Added simultaneous video decode/spectrum encode.
  • Added new prefer detail setting improving output.
  • Added new Sierra error diffusion option.
  • Added automatic preference saving.
  • Added dynamic memory allocation (grabs as much free as possible).
  • Added conversion cancel button (finally!).
  • Removed some redundant localisation code.
  • English text and licenses changes.
