Speccy SMASH
ZX Dev Conversions is another competition, and it does pretty much what it says on the tin. Developers are challenged to create games for the Spectrum which are conversions – the source material can either be existing games for other platforms or inspired by media such as television, films or books.
The game that grabbed our attention was Retroforce, which is an attempt to replicate the high-octane shooting action of coin-op classic Star Force and seems to fare pretty well. Retroforce, other entries and some discussion on the game can be found at Kikstart.eu/zx-dev-conversions.
