The ZX Spectrum Next continues its renaissance with the highly anticipated release of ViceCityBlues, a noir-inspired adventure that pushes the boundaries of the platform’s capabilities as a port from the ZX Spectrum by award winner Mário Armão Ferreira, creator of Star Carrier Ruffien, and Quivira: The adventure. Built on an improved version of the Quivira Engine, ViceCityBlues represents a significant leap forward in the developer’s work. It offers a much more evolved adventure experience, leveraging the Next's advanced hardware to deliver a deeper, multi-day story for retro enthusiasts.

Here's the latest. "Players step into the shoes of Alex Reed, a police officer for the Vice City PD whose life is about to change forever. The story begins with a flashback to one year ago, when Reed was called to a midnight investigation of a breaking and entering at a storage house. Though the scene appeared untouched, Reed found it strange that nothing was stolen. His personal investigation uncovered an elusive connection to the technology giant Omnicorp, but with no hard evidence, the case was eventually buried. Now, during a routine patrol one year later, a series of unexpected events pulls Reed back into the case of his life, spanning a complex narrative that unfolds over three intense days."

ReplyDeleteI´m the programmer of Vice City Blues, and have to correct you guys. The Next version is not a port from the ZX Spectrum version. Actually is the other way around! This game was developed on the Next, and then ported to the Spectrum. The Spectrum version released first only because I was polishing the next version a bit more.
