Amateur indie ZX Spectrum game dev
Most of my creations start with a question:
“I wonder if this could work on the Speccy.”
. . . and I start typing in BASIC
My favourite Speccy games:
Laser Squad (1988, Target Games), The Sentinel (1986, Firebird Soft.), Elite (1985, Firebird Soft.), Stalker (1992, J.H.C.S.), Advanced Pinball Simulator (1988, Code Masters Ltd.), SimCity (1990, Infogrames), Podraz 3-6 (1986-1988, Fuxoft/Antok Software), Lemmings (1991, Pasygnosis Ltd.), The Armageddon Man (1987, Martech Games Ltd.), North & South (1991, Infogrames), Dictator (1983, DK’Tronics Ltd.)
Modern homebrew/indie I enjoyed:
Wycheweald and Hafoc Tor (RedZebra), Ad Lunam (Zanklesoft), Amusement Park 4K (Jonathan Cauldwell), Break/Space (Blerkotron), Frost Land (Roman Skorik), Tenebra and Shift (Haplo)
Software I frequently use (as my games are written on the Speccy directly):
Laser Genius (1986, Ocean Software), HiSoft Devpac (1983, HiSoft), The Artist (1985, Softechnics), User Defined Graphics (1982, Oxford Comp. Publ.), Zeus Assembler (1983, Crystal Comp.)
