🕹️ Steem-RetroGames: Space Invasion - Early Thoughts, Tips and Tricks

in hive-184714 •  2 days ago 

My first computer was a ZX81, but it lasted only a few months, replaced by a ZX Spectrum 48k, with which I learned to program. A couple of years later I moved on to the QL, a real gem for the time, but, like all Sinclair products, with inexplicable things like microdrives. For the Spectrum I wrote and sold various programs to specialized magazines of the time, two or three I managed to find online.

Awesome - the ZX Spectrum 48k was the first computer I coded on too! Although it was more a case of typing out things from magazines than understanding what I was doing. I'd only have been 8 or 9 at the time!

@frafiomatale's comment reminded me of one of my favourite games of the time - "Advanced Soccer Simulator" and I've now found this site - https://zxspectrum.xyz/1988-1999.html - where I can play it all over again.

I'm really struggling to describe my emotions at this precise moment.

Come on, don't be shy - share some links 🙂

That's very impressive (not that I understand a word of it 😆). The closest I'll ever get to having anything published is on Steemit!
