8 – Bit Games we’ve made

When I was a kid I was obsessed with the ZX Spectrum and would have loved to have been able to make games for it, there were no online tutorials & YouTube guides back then! Decades later, my son is the age I was then and for a bit of fun during lockdown 2021 we looked into making some games. You can download these games from our Itch page, we even have a couple of games I made for the c64 back in the 80s.

The wonderful folks at Phoenixware have helped me fulfil a lifelong ambition to release a ZX Spectrum game on a real tape that you can play on a real ZX Spectrum.

You can buy your very own copy on a real tape, while stocks last, here:

New for 2025: ZX Spectrum Homebrew Reviews

I have decided to start reviewing some of the lovely Spectrum Homebrew games that I play. These are going to be blogged on the Retrostreamers site, do pop over & take a look, I’d love to know what you think of them.

Social Media

Twitter? What’s that? All the cool kids are on Bluesky these days grandad! You can find me over there and occasionally in a few other places

Twitch

I have a channel on Twitch, so far it’s mostly me streaming Spectrum games, sometimes on my own, sometimes with my son. Grab a cup of tea & join the chat by clicking here:
