[centrlink]

I recommend you give the following a whirl for starters:

Jetpac
Anarchy
Bombjack
Chuckie Egg

Too many more to mention - better start loading up the old SMC

 

[Steve-O]

NICE .. Gotta get some sleep, will play tomorrow

Thanks

 

[frolik]

thank you rlyeh this is wonderful stuff.

Is there any possibility you can add a function to redefine the button mappings or add a button to map to UP on the joystick so that you can button jump in platform games instead of using up on the D-pad?

marvellous though, it does everything it says on the tin

 

[Shadow of Chaos]

top stuff Rlyeh, it would have been nice to have seen a different emu..

But still the speccy is worth a play on the GP.. ill give it a go.

Kempston !!

 

[frolik]

finally a quality playable version of thrust!!!

can't play dizzy though coz of my diagonals not working if i could only map the joystick up to the B button......

 

[Swiss_Cheeseman]

Never played the spectrum, though I have read a lot about it. Any speccy fan care to share their list of favourite games?

Awesome work Ryleh!

Well some are denied distrubtion, but I'm sure you can find the Ultimate games somewhere on the web (Jetpac, Lunar Jetman, Knightlore and SabreWulf are some good ones to look for).

As for the ones available on WOS (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/):

Dan Dare
Manic Miner
Trashman
Popeye
Tau Ceti
Codename Mat

 

[Axeman]

Nice one Rlyeh!

The Spectrum was my first 'real' introduction to the world of computers, and where I did my first real coding. To have a perfect emu willb e great. I'm yet to try it, but cheers!
