Spectrum Computing

5 minutes: Rockman or Suspensionbridgeman
15 minutes: Robocop
60 minutes: Dan Dare or Chronos
Whole day: Space Crusade or R-Type

R-Type is impossible to finish without pokes. Dixit.

Lovely game !! I am playing it right now, it works very well on my CIP03 machine (Romanian clone, 1993). I don't know why, this games reminds me of .... Bruce Lee... :O

The game looks very sweet! I don't know if a system is implemented through which, once you finish a level or a series of 5 levels, you receive a code. Thus, the next time you play, you enter the code and you are able to play level 30 directly, you don't start the whole game. Maybe the authors of the...

There are many other books found by me on various libraries, maybe PeterJ will take a close look on them

Impressive ! I remember MK on PC some 20 years ago, but I never thought I'll see it on Spectrum

Completing Chronos without cheats, reaching bridge 30 on River Raid, finishing Rainbow Islands without cheats and so on. Great times and great memories.

I was trying to run it on Spectacular and it's not working. The original game has no problem.

It looks classic but it is new.

I got one of these but different color from an online shop in Romania. I see a link for a shop in UK, take a look, I am using it to digitize tapes, it works fine: https://www.auna-multimedia.co.uk/Radios/Radio-Cassette-Recorder/RQ-132USB-Portable-Cassette-Recorder-Voice-Recorder-Tape-Recorder-Micro-...

I'll soon finish a nice pack of books and magazines. When it's ready I'll send it to @PeterJ for indexing and preservation

Great books !! I'll read the last one and I'll try to adapt it to Python (I am learning it from time to time). I wish I had any of these books in the early 90s when I was in high school and started programming.

In Romania, Spectrum's golden age was between 1990 and 1995. Before 1990, during the communist regime, very few people had access to such a computer. The electronics industry produced a few hundred computers a year starting (I think) in 1985, but they were intended for research institutes, universit...

If this project will ever become a game I want it soooo bad !

Not so many colors in Chronos and yet one of my fav games.

I am browsing my old tapes and I think I've found some interesting stuff. I'll make a zip of everything and put it somewhere for download and preservation.

Thank you both !! I just tried Скачать Taper 3.1 and it works great !!!

Please please, is there anyone to explain how to load a program from tape than save as a tap file ? I tried with Audacity and I've obtained a wav file. I saw that people often use Taper and/or tape2tap but these programs are not working on my computer (Windows 8.1). I have some tapes to extract so I...

I am not the admin/uploader of that site specified in the first message ;) So: Code Scanner 3.2 was made in 1994. I have to check, but as I remember, Code Scanner programs load files from tape and let the user search for interesting stuff, like text messages, pictures. I am not sure and I have to ch...

When I am walking on tiles I always expect one to lower a bit and something to open. Also, I collect tapes, all kinds of cables, various parts of computers etc., they have to fit somewhere for sure.

For sure I have some stuff. I'll take a look, I'll be sure the tapes are loadable and I'll try to understand how to create .tap files . But first I'll check if the programs exist or not in the archive.

Sure, these are NOT: Bioritmuri (1995)(Mecosoft & Zodrachsoft)(RO) https://www.z80-romania.ro/files/109/Bioritmuri%20(1995)(Mecosoft%20&%20Zodrachsoft)(RO).tap?1683494939 CHR$ Designer (1994)(Mecosoft)(RO) https://www.z80-romania.ro/files/109/CHR$%20Designer%20(1994)(Mecosoft)(RO).tap?168349...

I had the pleasure to see a list with all our programs and games: https://www.z80-romania.ro/Colectia_Mecosoft-109 Some of them are in Romanian, sorry for that :( Many of these programs are already preserved at https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/list?label_id=20315 but there are some others that may ri...

Looks great ! It reminds me of Dan Dare

Great game ! Are there some pokes for something infinite ? It seems I am too old to play the game for real
