Yay, this will be the firest time that i play spectrum. I heard manic miner is good.
 
Thanx a lot rlyeh for your AMAZING work. :)

Check your Paypal account guy. ;)

Merry christmas to you rlyeh and to everyone. :)
 
Brilliant, Time to sort some speccy games out. Cheers Rlyeh.
 
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 :D
 
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 :D
 
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......
 
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!
 
Nice work rlyeh!
Thank you and a merry christmas to you!

(centrlink.... be carefull what you link to.... good list.... but.... hmm, not sure you are allowed to link to a page like that....)

edit: or... maybe all spectrum roms are legal.....if so, i´m sorry...

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
