Scramble RX - A classic 1980's retro shoot em up gets an enhanced ZX Spectrum version by happycodingzx (+Demo)

I was just thinking to myself we need some decent Saturday news, and thankfully we've just got some! As looking through my inbox, we've been told that the classic arcade game of 'Scramble', has just got a brand new RX version by none other than happycodingzx of The Midnight Brew. The same creator behind other amazing games such as Pacman RX, Lunar Rescue RX and Roust. To coincide with this news, Saberman has provided a video showing the game not only looking better, but it has smoother scrolling than the original ZX Spectrum version from 1983 too.


Here's the latest from the developer. "Here is the 'release' version of Scramble RX that was sent to my Patreon supporters last week. It contains all the levels from the arcade along with a few extra bells and whistles. The demo contains the first two levels of Scramble RX. Hope you like it!"
