Vintage Software Systems Ltd is a small business dedicated to creating high quality modern retro games for the ZX Spectrum - as programs for vintage machines, ready-to-run applications for Windows and Linux PCs or tap and tzx files for emulators and compatibles. Inspired by arcade classics from the 8-bit era, the games we create are hand-coded from the ground up, in Z80 assembler language - just like the old days, but with the benefit of modern development tools.

• Cosmic Space Attack 48K
• Super Alien Blast 48K
• Super Meteor Blast 48K

Free demos are now also available, together with playable online demos. Demo versions are time limited, the paid downloads include audio files for loading directly into vintage machines, together with standalone PC versions running in our own custom emulation engine with vintage CRT display simulation.

Vintage Software Systems has updated Super Meteor Blast for the ZX Spectrum 48K, emulators, and Windows or Linux PCs to V2.1.0

Super Meteor Blast is a modern retro game for the 48K ZX Spectrum, suitable for use with original vintage machines, ZX Spectrum emulators on any operating system, or as a standalone application for Windows or Linux PCs. The PC versions run using a custom emulation engine and also feature a CRT display simulation to complete the vintage look and feel. V2.1.0 Provides an improved CRT emulation with screen curvature on PC, and some minor bug fixes and graphical enhancements for the native ZX versions.

About Vintage Software Systems Ltd
Driven by a passion for classic arcade games, home micros from the 8-bit era, and just about anything related to old computers, Vintage Software Systems Ltd is a small business specialising in creating high quality modern retro games - as programs for vintage home computers, ready-to-run applications for popular PC operating systems, or for use with hardware emulators.

Built-In CRT Display Emulation
The display technology of the time is an essential part of the vintage game aesthetic, but vintage CRT monitors can be expensive and difficult to maintain, so our ready-to-run PC games also include a software CRT emulation complete with phosphor persistence, screen curvature and adjustable controls - for all the desirable qualities, without the drawbacks.

Hand Coded for Vintage Home Computers
Our modern retro games are hand coded in assembler language, from the ground up - just like the old days, but with the benefit of modern development tools. This allows us to create code which will run directly on vintage machines, or a third-party emulator of choice, or as a ready-to-run PC application - using our own emulation engine and built-in CRT display simulation.
