But I'm having trouble loading it on real zx spectrum (I'm using 48k issue 4S).
I convert the tap file to wav but it freezes upon finishing loading. It's strange because it works in emulator. Could there be some incompatibility with real hardware?
Don't know what to say. Yep, tap file works in CSPECT but only if I load it from the SDCARD. I was going to use my phone with playzx on my phone, but, I don't have a 3.5mm jack only bluetooth... There's nothing special. Try merging the basic program in then run it from line 2 to load the code and go - it should just work... In the meantime, I will check I haven't used any Next opcodes by mistake!
When I was a young, playing these games back in the 80's, I always used to imagine a "back story" to add a little atmosphere in my mind. This story has definitely done that :-)

Any chance of releasing this in tap or tzx format so i can load it into a real spectrum via one of the tape player apps?
Hi, no ones asked that before but i can have a try sometime. Give me a few weeks as I won't be home for a while.
That's great, looking forward to playing it 👍
Hi - have just uploaded a tap version for you - Enjoy :
Thanks!
Brill, I'm working away from home at the moment, I'll have a go later this week 😁
Thank you too.

Loved the short story, thank you. Very nostalgic.

Thanks a lot Sleepybod. I tried to capture the same feelings we felt when playing the game. Pleased that you like it.
Cheers, Dicky
