ENDLESS FORMS MOST BEAUTIFUL! PC REMAKE!



Ok I don't get excited very often, but this comes close.  Legendary programmer Locomalito, in conjunction with RetrogamerCD have remade my ZX Spectrum Game into a new PC remake.  I don't know much about PCs (which stands for Personal Computer don't you know), but considering Loco is working on inferior hardware to the ZX Spectrum I'd say he's done a jolly good job.  Arf.



Video here:



Here's a cool video of a guy enjoying the frustrations of the game.  Put the biggest smile on my face.



It's freeware and can be downloaded from here or here.

It's an absolute treat to play these remakes, though I must admit the most annoying thing (in addition to not being able to complete them) is that I keep wishing "I wish I thought of that".

Please download, enjoy and above all, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Well done everybody, and thanks.

The Lost Disks of SAM

Well I'm thoroughly chuffed to say that blackjet have written a conversion of my ZX Spectrum game for the SAM Coupe; THE LOST DISKS OF SAM.  It bears most resemblance to 'TAPES OF ALBION' but also bits of EFMB, plus extra stuff.



It's an absolute treat, and I'm annoyed to say looks & plays better that mine. 

It can be downloaded here, and the SIMCoupe emulator here.

I don't know a lot about the SAM Coupe, but I gather it's essentially a hugely beefed up version of the ZX-Spectrum.  So it's still an 8 bit, similar processor but has more memory, higher colour resolution and more.  I was suprised to discover the SAM is a British computer, as the car like appearance and name screamed USA!USA! at me.

Thanks for this guys.

Krill

The Krill in this picture decided my original caption for this picture was not amusing enough.
