The Atariage user mariuszw has posted his work developing Pentagram, the final game in Sabreman saga, and it is a sequel to well known Knight Lore. He mentions that the game is being ported from the ZX Spectrum (as the images make that clear), and the most impressive thing about that is that he has developed a recompiler that takes the…
Almost time to slice the turkey and celebrate the new year and I just had a pleasant surprise: Amigaville issue 3 is out. Amigaville issues 1 and 2 had a staggering reception from the Amiga community and that was well deserved for being a magazine made with high-quality articles and professional finish. Amigaville issues 1 and 2 had a staggering…
Nothing like a good brainless shot’em up game to celebrate 2016, eh? If you agree you should try Flying Cobra RX, released today by The New Dimension. The game is very fast and the smooth animation, impeccable! I recommend the joystick instead of the keyboard if you can, as the game is harder using the keyboard. The sideways missiles are…

Who doesn’t love Duke Nukem? (except Duke Nukem Forever of course!). I remember spending countless hours playing it and laughing at Duke’s toughness. But that was Duke Nukem 3D! Not sure if it is common knowledge but Duke Nukem started as a 2D platform, released back in 1991 by Apogee Software for MS-DOS. The homebrew developer Revo decided to make a…
This compo is really interesting. While most compos would not allow anything other than standard machines, ZX Enhanced takes the opposite approach. Only ZX Spectrum compatible machines that have some enhancement can participate. The compo rules state that “target platforms must be equipped with various extensions like graphic modes other than ‘6912’, RAM above 128kB, CPU clock frequency above 3.5MHz…
