Alright you sods! This is half a pea roast.Play my shite games! First is Granny Parade! Not sure what the story is here - I wrote down some instructions when I finished coding (took about an hour! Been too long since I touched the ol Speccy Basic) but I lost them. Click the screenie for z80 file for your ZX Spectrum emulator!
Right, that should take you 8 seconds to get sick of. I couldn't work out the BASIC compiler so it's just a little slow, right?
Next, you lucky people, is the contemporary classic Star Destroyer! Click the cover 'scan' for z80 file:
The different machine and game mentioned along the side there is a joke - we had trouble with this before. I KNOW there's no 1541 on the Speccy. Yes, I KNOW it's not funny.
Anyway, have a screenie of this exciting masterpiece:
So there you go, my shit 80s games straight from Cascade 50, j0!

wellI did it. I actually found an emulator that would work with these things. 2 thing 1) ARGH THE FLICKER 2) ARGH the pixel by pixel circles!
Other than that I think you've captured it perfectly.
btw for anyone else who can be bothered (obviously not many) here's an emulator that actually works
