hey all,there are quite a lot of zx spectrum game (and others) that were remade for PC with miles better colour graphics and sound. from atic atac,sabrewulf,pssst,cookie through to klassof99 (a skooldaze remake) and others like the excellent emudx of donkey kong,frogger etc there's one I'm holding out for which has never been remade which I would love to see and that was Rollercoaster by Elite for the zx. It was one of my all time faves on the sinclair. I'll put the ones I know about here as time goes by and guys feel free to add any you find or know about,thanks.I'll start with this one Booty link here http://randomkak.blogspot.com/2011/10/booty-pc.html here's a green beret remake called Red Forces link here http://juegolibrepc.blogspot.com/2015/06/red-forces-green-beret-pc.html

Hi Dad,I had a scout round and hope I've found the right answer for you.my guess is Black Widow by Atari from 1982. here's a couple of pics if it wasn't that then hopefully this site might help with regards the name of the game you seek, it's a site that lists all arcade vector games,and when you mentioned spider web, well black widow immediately stood out lol. here's the site link http://www.andysarcade.de/vec_all.html there is a pc remake here also if you're interested http://tardis.dk/wordpress/?page_id=445

thanks for the info Reg,I'll have to give that lost souls a bash sometime. wanted monty mole was really hard due to the crushers and afaik no repeating pattern,i remember you literally just had to chance it lol I got as far as the where I put the green arrow but didn't know how to get past the miners hat,it killed me lol.I presume you have to collect all the items till you get there but some items were booby trapped and killed you I seem to recall. you prolly know there is a good PC remake for it but just in case you don't have it,here's a link http://www.spacetimegames.co.uk/iframe/monty.htm some comparison screenshots I'll take a further look into what this zx spectrum next can do for curiousity purposes, cheers for the info you gave. I totally agree it was a hit or miss affair with the back cover screenshots ,more often,well virtually nearly always very misleading on a lot of titles but some to be fair were "actual screenshots" this one mislead me for example because these are what you actually got,but with the heralding of mame ,all that can now be forgiven and forgotten thankfully by the way exactly right what you said about using our imagination to fill in the blanks, I think the fact we could play "any" computer game at home at all (despite the lack of great graphics and stereo audio) we kind of allowed ourselves to overlook those short comings.I was very grateful for what we had back then but as of the way things are now,I'm hugely grateful where we are today with emulation and current gen games. absolutely awesome it is. @fatdad I remember that spectrum slot you uploaded,it was by codemasters wasn't it. nice little sim back then

cool thanks Monty Mole and Temple of Lost Souls, never knew about this did you ever play mutant monty, wanted monty mole, monty is innocent auf wiedersehen monty monty on the run What games are they going to do on the ZX Spectrum Next ? are they going to make classic zx game revamps or completely new material ?
