The Internet Made Me Do It (ZX Spectrum Next)
A downloadable game
I love online shopping - and I love retro vintage computers! And I love making sure I blame the internet when my wife see's our bank account.
You know - such a premise sounded like a good theme for a computer game - so I wrote one!
Your goal is to buy as much retro stuff as possible within a set amount of time, while battling against the Mrs. who uses the wi(fe)-fi to try and stop you. It may sound easy, but I doubt you can make it to the end of the time limit. Go on. Prove me wrong!
FEATURES
- Supports both Keyboard and Joystick
- Top 3 high score table
- 3 levels of starting difficulty
- As game progresses, it gets harder and faster
- A PDF guide to the entire program is provided, as well as an instruction guide and a technical document for programmers who are interested in working with the Spectrum Next's Turbo Sound chipset.
This game is written entirely in NextBASIC for the ZX Spectrum Next. Play it as-is, look at the coding and play with it for some learning fun, even edit the code and graphics to make it your own! (or fix any bugs)
For me, this game's an homage to the era of type-in games from magazines and books. Simple, fun (eh, hopefully) ideas made purely for enjoyment and personal learning.
Enjoy.

Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.
That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.
The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.
The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.
It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.
If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.
Juan.
