Download or read book A Compendium of ZX Spectrum Games Volume One written by Kieren Hawken and published by AG Books. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ZX Spectrum was created as a computer for the masses rather than the classes. A follow-up to the hugely successful Sinclair ZX81, the Speccy - as it affectionately became known - was advertised as the first colour computer that could be bought for under £100. Thanks to its affordable price, wide range of software, easy to learn BASIC language and simple set-up, the Spectrum went on to become the best-selling computer in the UK and revolutionised the country's games industry. This book takes you through the history of the much-loved platform, sampling a varied cross-section of the many thousands of games from the very first releases to modern retro classics and even previously unreleased prototypes. Each entry features a screenshot, review and publishing information, along with the author's personal rating for the title. With ten entries for each letter of the alphabet, this is not supposed to be a list of the best or the worst games; neither is it a complete guide to all that's available. It is simply a meandering journey through well over thirty years of home computing history, designed to interest both the dedicated fan and the casual reader. A Compendium of ZX Spectrum Games is a celebration of Sir Clive's wonder machine, filled with nostalgic memories, new opinions, interesting stories and so much more!

Download or read book 10 PRINT CHR 205 5 RND 1 GOTO 10 written by Nick Montfort and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-11-23 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A single line of code offers a way to understand the cultural context of computing. This book takes a single line of code—the extremely concise BASIC program for the Commodore 64 inscribed in the title—and uses it as a lens through which to consider the phenomenon of creative computing and the way computer programs exist in culture. The authors of this collaboratively written book treat code not as merely functional but as a text—in the case of 10 PRINT, a text that appeared in many different printed sources—that yields a story about its making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more. They consider randomness and regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the popular BASIC programming language, and the highly influential Commodore 64 computer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years there have been very few British entrepreneurs who have made such an impact as Sir Alan Sugar, who managed to take on the Japanese electronics giants and win - no mean feat! The Amstrad CPC was undoubtedly one of his finest achievements. Released in 1984 to an already crowded market, the CPC range managed to stand out from the competition by offering an all-in-one computer package complete with a built in tape deck or disk drive, joystick, full-size keyboard and either a green-screen or colour monitor - no more fighting over the family TV! It went on to sell over 4 million units across Western Europe and appeared in a wide variety of different guises from the original tape based CPC464 to the ill-fated GX4000 games console. In this book we take you through the long life of the Amstrad CPC computer range looking at a varied cross section of the 6000+ games available with a review and screenshot of each one. This is not a list of the best games, a list of the worst games or indeed a complete guide to what's available. It's simply a meandering journey through the system's vast catalogue to give a perfect cross-section of what the Amstrad CPC has to offer. There are ten games featured for each letter of the alphabet and these range from the earliest titles released in the mid-eighties to public domain games, type-in listings and even modern homebrews. A Compendium of Amstrad CPC Games is a celebration of the ever-popular home computer packed with nostalgic memories, expert opinions, interesting stories, trivia, developer interviews and so much more besides.

It's a world of mustached, muscled men, buxom beauties, big explosions, phallic guns, and nightmare-inducing monsters. From the sublime to the ridiculous, some are incredible works of art, some are insane, and some capture the tone of the films better than the films themselves.
