Time for a new #BeyondTheScanlines!

Warhawk was easily one of the top releases for the Spectrum Next at launch, but it also happens to serve as a fantastic upgrade to a brilliant budget blaster too!

So let's dive into it, and the original version to see just what an upgrade it is!

I totally forgot I had this. With the sheer length of time between the Kickstarter and its final arrival, this package got packed away and overlooked. Until now.

Very nicely done, just need me to put the SD card in there with the games on it.

Exploring the ZXSpectrum Demoscene on my Next.

The Virtual TR-DOS site has disk compilations from each party, with a built in launcher, ASCII viewer and music player.

Wonderful way to explore years of party releases.

Just got a lovely piece of 1982 delivered from . Includes a 320-page manual that tells you how to program the thing, because the internet won't exist for another 15 years or so - a lovely touch!

It’s going to be hard resisting the next crowd funding campaign on this, although I barely have enough time to enjoy the hardware I already own.

Still no sign of the (or indeed even a tracking number), and my vacation is almost up. So I find it unlikely now that I'll be making anything on the machine in the near future.

I had plans, dagnammit! 😭

Getting back into Programming now i have the .

BASIC and ASM.
Looking for suggestions for any Linux software to help - preferably FOSS or released with an ARM64 build.

Currently using Geany for syntax highlighting and compiling via python scripts provided with ZxBasic (zxbc and zxbasm) .

All have been great to get me started, but would welcome any feedback from the community.

I’d completely forgotten that I’d backed the second kickstarter for this, and had no idea it was even out.

Has anyone seen Way Of The Exploding Fist on the ZX Spectrum Next yet? I was able to try out the playable demo at Crash Live 2023 last weekend. It's a fantastic version of the classic Speccy game & plays really well. KS1 backers get a free download too when it releases on Dec 1st. Game available from https://wearespectrumprogrammers.com/ .. (Pic of me playing it at Crash Live was clipped from Spectrum Nez's YouTube video: https://youtu.be/LIWKy6kCrLg )

Eldritch Force

El equipo de Sunteam nos trae este Eldritch Force para Spectrum Next y N-GO; un juego lovecraftiano de exploración, apto para aquellos a los que les guste los grandes mapas para resolver todos los misterios. No hay acción ni Game Over. Los controles son Q A O P para moverte. M para interactuar; normalmente se trata de buscar un objeto en la pared del fondo de la pantalla (como un barril, una máquina expendedora de cigarrillos, una caja o un cubo de basura).

El N-GO es un clon 100% compatible con el
Está compuesto por: PCB + teclado + carcasa acrílica.
Puedes conseguirlo en https://manuferhi.com/p/n-go-complete-case-keyboard
Indispensable si no conseguiste el Next original en ningunos de las dos campañas de Kickstarter

Okay, following my quick "I'll try coding for CP/M" lark today, I've come up a couple of routines to quickly learn some asm coding for CP/M and to play with my Bus Interfaces for connecting RC2014 modules to the SAM Coupe and ZX Spectrum.

It's really just proof of concept stuff which I'll look at in this thread...

The XBerry-Pi doesn't look like a ZX Spectrum at all, but it's the new ZX Spectrum Next-compatible creation by Don Superfo. If it does anything analogous to what the Superfo Harlequin 128, it's going to be amazing. Hopefully the strange branding decision won't detract from it.

I've published "In The Dark", my Rogue-like-little-light to Itch.io, with a browser playable DOSBox version.

Downloads are available for DOS, Windows, Linux and CP/M 80.

I would love to see it running on other people's systems.

quazarsamcoupe,

@kianryan And now compiled on the ZX Spectrum Next!

Just need to find the control codes of it's terminal type to turn the cursor off as it does flicker around with "spurious crap" (nice techy term 😂 ) due to the solid cursor square darting about when redrawing.

(Currently using Zenith type in the Turbo Pascal compiler configuration, also the screen width can be left at 80 as it doesn't autoscroll after a character is printed at 24,80)

El equipo de Pat Morita está trabajando en una versión de Black and White para el que luce de maravilla.
En ella podremos usar nuestros hechizos para aturdir a los enemigos y romper las esferas, pero sólo a los que sean del mismo color que nosotros.
¡Nos esperan 6 mundos diferentes con numerosos tipos de enemigos, nuevas mecánicas y desafíos!
Habrá que estar atentos para su lanzamiento definitivo 👍 😋 🕹️
