Wycheweald is a rare thing on the ZX Spectrum – an actual Role-Playing Game, with a first-person viewpoint and turn-based combat. It was created by Red Zebra and first released in 2023. And, while it is a little slow to play, it is well presented and quite absorbing. That is: if you like these kinds of esoteric RPGs. Which I do! 🙂

The officially-licensed ZX Spectrum version of Donkey Kong was developed by Sentient Software for Ocean Software and was initially released in 1986.
Uridium Plus, ZX Spectrum
First released in 1987 by Hewson Consultants, Uridium Plus is a continuation and update of Andrew Braybrook‘s classic scrolling shooter, with all-new levels.
Uridium, ZX Spectrum
Andrew Braybrook‘s classic Commodore 64 shooter, Uridium, was converted to the ZX Spectrum by Dominic Robinson in 1986, and – considering the machine’s limitations – he did a remarkable job.
