Thank you for this compliment : ) Back in the 80s, many arcades were darkly lit places, and some were literally illuminated by the monitors alone - I loved how bright and colourful they were, with some boosted so much they were buzzing and humming like they were going to explode, lol. Since I wanted to follow the typical black background for the maze, I did my best to create everything without any shading techniques, so the sprites would all be solid blocks of bright colour that whizz around the screen. I was aiming for a fun and cheerful look, and I'm so pleased you appreciate it : )
Thank you. I think many people back in the day dismissed the Spectrum for games, and never really knew the wonderful potential it had. Many retailers would point out Commodore's 64K (compared to just 48K), and to many people that meant the C64 would always be better for games. I was lucky enough to have a circle of friends and we all had different machines. We actually found many versions of the most popular multi-platform games to be better presented on the Spectrum - Such fond memories, as you say. Hopefully you'll find the time to make that ZX game : ) : )
