Hi everybody and welcome to another episode! On real hardware we check out MARSMARE: ALIENATION for 128k, RUN! for 48k and a KRAPPY PLATFORMER for 16k + lots of other interesting stuff! We set spot on the 3 original ZX Spectrum models (16k, 48k, 128k) and we play A Blast From The Past and a Modern Era Hit on all the machines, so every episode features 6 games. See gameplay from the games on real hardware, see how they look on a CRT TV, see if they look playable and interesting to you, and grab them from the links if you want them. Besides new and classic games this series will also have spot on the best in modern and old school demos, pixel art, AY music, Beeper music, Turbo Sound music etc.
