ZX Spectrum screenshots

thumbnail
Race Ace : the start screen. There's no instructions so you have to guess what to do.
thumbnail
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
thumbnail
Race Ace : The next question is 'How Many laps'. The next key press starts the game
thumbnail
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
thumbnail
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
thumbnail
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
thumbnail
Race Ace : However, on the other side of the course the controls are sort of reversed
thumbnail
Fido 1 : At least has a load screen
thumbnail
Fido 1 : In fact it has two load screens

Fido 1 : Basic instructions. Walk left / right and wag
thumbnail
Fido 1 : Food is always welcome

Fido 1 : Then position Fido on / near a mole and wag.

Weasel Willy : Level / Field 1 The field is randomly dotted with trees. The object is to move around and not touch anything
thumbnail
Moving around leaves tracks. Move for long enough and you're transferred to another field
thumbnail
Later fields have more obstacles. Touch the wall and you lose a life too

Fido 2 : 'Puppy Power' Got it but a second later and the bird gets me.
