In my last post about PSPCAP32 and Amstrad Schneider CPC I mentioned that probably the only thing that might make this program a little more perfect was the monochrome display option, just like on the old green monitors.
And voila! Christmas is approaching and my wish was granted! Zx-81, the man behind porting of this emulator (and a handful of others, too) to PSP, heard my cries and added this feature to the newest release, which, by the way, happened just a couple of days after the last one. That's what you call support!
So thanks to Zx-81 you can now see these games the way I have experienced them for the first time. For me it is yet another trip down the memory lane, for younger readers unique opportunity to see how gaming used to be long time ago. I bet there are one or two other guys out there who have just shed a tear of nostalgia as well. At least I hope so, otherwise this means I am really weird.
Oh, and if you were able to tell the name of the above games based on the screenshots, you're a geek over thirty.
Answer : Knight Lore, Fruity Frank, Boulder Dash.

damn. i recognize screens 2 and 3 but can't recall the name. i think i played it with a cousin of mine in some distant past. also, i remember it sort of blue-ish. guess that makes me a geek wannabe below 30
Yea, you're like 2/3 of a geek. And you're almost 30. :D
(Oh gosh, I love being malicious!)
But I know you're a nerdy girl, Ms. Sabotage.
Ooh, easy (I think).
