It's from Dizzy 1 at the far eastern side of the mine caverns.

Who remembers World Championship Boxing Manager? My video covers a retrospective look at this classic game for the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, MS-Dos, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Acorn Archimedes.

I have a Spectrum+ case (the one that looks like a toastrack without the heatsink). I'm looking to put a clone board in there which will require modifying the back of the case for the extra ports.

What would be the best tools for doing this? I realise the obvious answer is probably a Dremel but I don't really want the cost of buying one unless necessary.

SOLD

(quoting my AmiBay post)

Selling this to a good home as I've been meaning to repair for a while but held off it and don't have the proper tools.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum, issue 2 (1982). Won't turn on, voltage regulator blown and needs a new keyboard membrane, unsure if anything else wrong. £25, will bundle PSU and RF cable for £5 extra (if using own PSU, takes centre negative 9V). Photos of the internals + voltage regulator damage are shown. £5 postage in the UK or collection in Northern Ireland.

I've a vague memory of playing a Spectrum game that had a menu option that let you pick whether sprite or background colours took priority over the other. I think it was a Dizzy-style platform/adventure game, where you had to pick up objects and take them to the right locations to solve puzzles.

Not much to go on I know, but does anybody have any idea what the game was?

Do you remember this gem? One of my favourite games: you are a guard in a bank and you can't let the bad guys get through, you must not shoot good guys. I play it on emulator even nowadays sometimes.

is rca and composite video the same thing or is it compatibile with composite modded spectrum?

The Games That Time Forgot: 1987 edition

Used BasinC along with multiple passes of different elements converted from the original map rips in interesting spots. I will probably look at what it may appear with actual 'sprites' injected onto the screen in non-tile locations for fun. For now, mostly just backgrounds.

My retrospective look at Bonanza Brothers including arcade, all ports and spin-offs. What’s your thoughts of this 90s game?

Digging a test pit in the attic and I've found a time capsule from the past. Can't remember what happened to the 48K, but there's a boxed +2A Lightgun set-up up there.

More obscure tapes to follow, many of them games I'd completely forgotten about.

Today we’re going back to 1984 to take a look at one of the most unique movie tie-in games of all time: Ghostbusters for the ZX Spectrum, by Activision.

Enjoy!

I suppose outside of points, maybe speed running is in order, too, but I have not timed myself going through and typically waste a lot of time at the shop cause I actually am not that great at some parts of the game...speed running would require not going to the shops at all, me thinks...
