Another release for the ZX Spectrum and this time not an arcade game, is CatWeazle's Dungeon Crawler ' Descending Dungeons '. An entry for the ZXDev2015 and still a work in progress title, hence beta. You must guide 4 adventurers deep into a randomly generated dungeon to discover treasure and to defeat the evil dragon.

Knightmare 2 ZX - A feature packed release for the ZX Spectrum

While we wait for the great Earok Amiga CD32 release, another game which has caught my eye today is Climacus and KgMcNeil's sequel of ' Knightmare 2 ZX '. A big platformer with 9 levels, an end game boss, smooth scrolling, interesting backgrounds, masked foregrounds and tritone title music. Knightmare 2 ZX was originally developed as a competition entry for ZXDev2015, with actual development for about 5 months!
