Slightly Magic - The ZX Spectrum classic overhauled aims for a Steam Greenlight success

Some time back we featured ' Slightly Magic ', a nice little gem of a retro classic by Colin Jones that had received a make over and was released on July 2014 for PC, Mac and Linux. Originally a 1990's ZX Spectrum game which was highly regarded in the local Sinclair Magazines is now aiming for a Steam Greenlight success. Colin Jones who has done the game, with the original graphics by Chris Graham, and Allister Brimble re-mastered the original soundtrack, features the original art work and game play while resolving some of the original platform limitations.

Back in November of last year a new Kickstarter campaign was started for the revamp of the classic Sinclair title, Slightly Magic, however it wasn't meant to be. Originally this great classic was highly regarded in the local Sinclair magazines with ratings as high as 94%, yet for some reason the thought of a classic game featuring the original art work and game play and resolving some of the original platform limitations did not appeal to the gaming masses, and thus the Kickstarter failed by a rather large margin. Yet fast forward to today and some great news is on the horizon!
