zx spectrum games

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

:lol: Have I bollocks. Sorry.

The closest to "finished" was the version done in Macromedia Director (now Adobe Director IIRC). I've lost that software (it was on the computer at my old job) so I decided to start again doing it in Python. Only thing is, this involves actually learning python...

For everyone of a certain age.
I could never understand anyone know owned one of them instead
of a commodore 64. The latter was an 8 bit computer, the former
was an 8 bit computer that behaved like a full color pocket calculator,
and had about the same audio capabilities.

:lol:

The Spectrum had two major advantages: It was far easier to program (BASIC or machine code) and it was about half the price of the C64.
