Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The follow up to the hugely successful Sinclair ZX81, in fact it was originally named the ZX82, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum was created as a computer for the masses rather than the classes and advertised as the first colour computer that could be purchased for less than £100 (the 16k model anyway). Thanks to its affordable price, wide range of software, easy to learn BASIC programming language and simple set-up, which needed nothing more than a standard TV and regular tape player, the Speccy, as it affectionately became known, went on to become the best selling computer in the United Kingdom and revolutionised the region's games industry. But it didn't just change the history of the industry, it also changed my own life as my first computer and put me on the path that led to me writing this book in the present day! This second edition of A Compendium of ZX Spectrum games now features over 300 game reviews, 3 totally new developer interviews and a fascinating fact filled article on the last computer to carry the iconic Sinclair name. This isn't a list of the best Spectrum games, a list of the worst ones or indeed a complete guide to what's available - it's simply a meandering nostalgia filled journey through the Speccy's 10,000+ games. These range from the earliest titles released at the start of the eighties, to public domain games and even modern homebrews that have been released in more recent years. This is book is a perfect companion to a true British icon!

Download or read book Spectrum Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner written by William Tang and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, William Tang’s Spectrum Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner is generally considered to be the best introduction to 8-bit machine code programming ever written. With many great game writers crediting this as the book that got them started, there still is no better way to learn the language at the heart of the ZX Spectrum. * * * As the original publisher Melbourne House wrote: If you are frustrated by the limitations of BASIC and want to write faster, more powerful, space-saving programs or subroutines, Spectrum Machine Language for the Absolute Beginner is the book for you. Even with no previous experience of computer languages, you will be able to discover the ease and power of the Spectrum's own language. Each chapter includes specific examples of machine language applications which can be demonstrated and used on your Spectrum as well as a self-test questionnaire. At the end of the book, all this is brought together in an entire machine language program - from design right through to the complete listing of an exciting, original arcade game. * * * Acorn Books is proud to present its Retro Reproduction Series, a collection of classic computing works from the 1980s and 90s, lovingly reproduced in the 21st century. From standards of programming reference no self-respecting microcomputer programmer would be without, to obscure works not found in print anywhere else, these modern reprints are perfect for any connoisseur of retro computing.
