ZX Spectrum screenshots
Race Ace : the start screen. There's no instructions so you have to guess what to do.
Race Ace : Soon you're asked for a speed. All cars run at a fixed speed, this controls how insanely fast the game will run
Race Ace : The next question is 'How Many laps'. The next key press starts the game
Race Ace : Once the race starts, you're moving. Straight into the wall. The arrow keys don't work so you mash a few keys to see what happens.... Note Q - quits the game and sets you back to the start
Race Ace : Success! the M key moves you in 90 degree clockwise turns so now you can get past the 1st , 2nd, and 3rd corners
Race Ace : .. but you need to do a 270 degree turn to get round this corner and it's just not possible, until you discover that the Z key turns you 90 degrees counter clockwise
Race Ace : However, on the other side of the course the controls are sort of reversed
Fido 1 : At least has a load screen
Fido 1 : In fact it has two load screens
Fido 1 : Basic instructions. Walk left / right and wag
Fido 1 : Food is always welcome
Fido 1 : Then position Fido on / near a mole and wag.
Fido 1 : Moles do change colour from grey to green That seems to be all there is to this game.
Weasel Willy : load screen
Weasel Willy : High Score table
Weasel Willy : Main menu. Do not play before defining the keys. If yo udo Willy will not move!
key definition
Ready to start?
Weasel Willy : Level / Field 1 The field is randomly dotted with trees. The object is to move around and not touch anything
Moving around leaves tracks. Move for long enough and you're transferred to another field
Later fields have more obstacles. Touch the wall and you lose a life too
Lost a life
Lost all lives
I made the high score table Looks as though there's no delete key and all characters mist be entered
Fido 2 : 'Puppy Power' The load screen alternates between this 'top half'..
Fido 2 : 'Puppy Power' ... and this bottom half
Fido 2 : 'Puppy Power' Here again we have Fido who must sit next to the moles / puppies and wag them to death
Fido 2 : 'Puppy Power' There's one in the corner
Fido 2 : 'Puppy Power' Got it but a second later and the bird gets me.
Fruit Machine : lets you know that something is happening
Fruit Machine : A nice splash screen with the Firebird logo
Fruit Machine : Instructions. All fairly standard.
Fruit Machine : Ready for the first spin
Fruit Machine : There's a little animation on the handle - how old fashioned is that !
Fruit Machine : and a bit of animation on the reels though they move very slowly
Fruit Machine : A Win!
Fruit Machine : Winning gives the chance to gamble. The win is 20p. The 0p and 30p are flashing and the player must hit 'C' to select one
Fruit Machine : A hold after a win.
