Retcon Ghostly Capers - we play the ULA version of the hit 2023 game from MicroChops on the Spectrum
8Ghosts, ghouls, and glorious pixel art! In this episode, we're diving head-first into Retcon Ghostly Capers — the ULA version of the smash hit 2023 retro-platformer from MicroChops, now haunting the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in all its chunky 8-bit glory.
This isn’t just a trip down memory lane, it’s a full-blown paranormal power-walk through one of 2023’s most surprising indie gems — reimagined for one of the most iconic home computers ever. Whether you’re a Spectrum stalwart or a MiSTer FPGA maestro, this is the kind of game you don’t want to miss.
Watch as we wrangle spectral enemies, leap suspiciously tricky platforms, and marvel at how much awesome can be crammed into a few kilobytes of RAM. Retcon Ghostly Capers is part homage, part reimagining, and all retro magic.
If you’re into retro gaming, platformers, indie revivals, or just love seeing modern classics twisted into old-school form, this is your jam. It's got ghosts. It’s got jokes. It’s got ULA graphics so vibrant they’ll make your CRT blush.
Stick around, drop your thoughts in the comments, and let’s chat about why games like this keep the spirit (and the pixels) alive!
