New game for ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX

Phantomas Saga Infinity is a brand new game developped by CEZ Games Studio. It's a sequel to the mythic platform games Phantomas, made by Enric Cervera in 1986, and Phantomas 2 made by Emilio Salgueiro in 1986. This new version looks very good and makes good use of the ZX Spectrum limits with colorfull graphics and smooth animation. The game is also available for Amstrad CPC and MSX and is even free for download!

Sudoku for Sinclair ZX81

Stafford White has programmed a Sudoku version for the 25 years old ZX81! You can create your own grids and play them.

It always amazes me to see that there are still people motivated enough to produce new software for systems long gone. But that's good news as new software (and new projects) is essential to communities largely based on memories.

Vintage Hungarian magazines

Sometimes (most of the time in fact) , old computer websites contain real pearls you can only find by digging deep into the different pages, particularly when the site is in foreign language you don't understand at all :-(

This excellent hungarian website is a good example of what should be a perfect website devoted to one computer (here the Enterprise 128): it contains tons of stuff : pictures, scans, screenshots, documentation, hardware projects, emulators, software to download... Perfect.

Above all, I spent some hours browsing "Mikroszámítógép Magazin", and old hungarian magazine scanned by the webmaster. A complete collection is available ranging from 1983 to 1990, all issues scanned in JPG pictures. There are real gems, like retro pictures coming from another dimension...

To reach this section, go to the website, choose "Zene Dokumentacio > Ujsagok" on the left menu, then scroll down and click on "Mikroszamitogep Magazin". Enjoy.

one chip MSX

One Chip MSX is a brand new MSX machine! This computer is compatible with MSX1 and MSX2 standard, allowing you to play hundreds of games "for free". Based around a FPGA chipset, it offers 32 MB SDRAM, SD/MMC memory card slot, 2 MSX cartridge slots, SVHS/composite/VGA video ouputs, PS/2 keyboard connector, 2 USB connectors and 2 MSX joystick ports! On the paper it looks amazing. The One Chip MSX is already available on pre-order from BASIX website.

Dancing baby on a ZX-81

Yes! They made it. Or should I say they coded it: the famous dancing baby animation on a 16 KB Sinclair ZX81 or Timex-Sinclair 1000 (you decide). The animation can be seen on the first page of this nice site : www.ts1000.us. The music choice is excellent too (though not played by the real machine). Have a look!
