Fun and Games.

In a previous life, I wrote games for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum — a 4 MHz Z80, 32K of usable RAM, and it was a dream (except, of course, for the dreaded attribute clash).

I thought it would be fun to give you the chance to relive those days by posting a couple of my efforts — Ping Pong and Hypaball. Back on the original site these ran in an old Java applet, which no browser will touch today; here they’re playable again straight in your browser via a modern JavaScript ZX Spectrum emulator, with the original .z80 snapshots also available to download.

If you want to play the zillions of other games out there, World of Spectrum is the place to go — without forking out £7.95 of your valuable pocket money or having to wait to borrow your Dad’s big colour television. 😉
