[Tetris Championship Edition] A brilliant MOD of the classic Tetris 2 on the ZX Spectrum.

[UPDATE :tetris:]

Oh joy of joys, if you loved the 1984 game of Tetris or the 1989 game of Columns , you'll be pleased to know a brand new puzzle overhaul of Tetris 2 by František Fuka has been released for the ZX Spectrum.

One of the most popular games of all time was a tile-matching, block rotating puzzle video game first released in 1984 which became a huge hit on the Gameboy in 1989.  It just had to be the classic 'Tetris'; a game that caused many people to spend hours playing to the point of addiction. Although we've had numerous clones over the years some of them good and some of them rather bad, today's Tetris Champsion Edition is another Tetris you really should be playing!

This excellent game that was originally released for the ZX Spectrum in 1990, has not only been made more suitable for modern players who already played NES Tetris, Tetris 99 etc, but it features a new scoring system, new colours and much much more.

UPDATE : I've recently been informed that Tetris Championship Edition may have been updated on itch io. Although I'm not sure if it's the same version as the one released in 2020 going by the fact they both say 1.0. The developer has noted all of the changes listed below.

• New Korobeiniki AY tune
• 50 FPS modes
• Kempston joystick support
• you can hold left or right key and piece will move continuously in that direction (you had to press these keys many times before)
• soft drop implemented
• you can now rotate pieces to the right (previously it was only to the left)
• accordingly, Redefine Keys screen has been changed
• the randomizer has been greatly improved, now the same frequency of all pieces is guaranteed
• scoring system has been changed: now it’s much more profitable to clean several lines at once, especialy 4
• the level increases when a certain amount of lines is cleared (previously it did not change at all)
• the number of levels in the classic mode has been increased: earlier, only levels 1-8 were available, now it's 0-9 by default and 10-19 with DROP key pressed
• theoretically the number of levels is not limited
• two tracks by František Fuka was replaced
• in Tetris 2 mode all levels have been redone (now there are 50 of them, but there will be more), and this mode was named Puzzle
• cheat mode for Puzzle was added
• now you can listen to music along with 48k effects
• Puzzle mode now has harder levels limited by a timer


I think I'm putting my #ZXSpectrum raycaster to bed now that I have movement. I'm happy that it works (my first attempt at machine language) 😅. Some weird graphical glitches around certain intersections of ray path and map grid (jagged wall edges), but considering the huge approximations I made, it's not bad.

I moved it above the first 16k of memory that apparently makes it run faster and (combined with disabling interrupts) definitely does improve the refresh rate. #RetroComputing


[Donkey Kong] A famous 80's Game has just got a rather awesome Arcade to ZX Spectrum Conversion!

That same game which also appeared as a more recent Arcade to Amiga conversion by JOTD, has just arrived as a pretty incredible Arcade clone to the ZX Spectrum by Artonapilos.

In the early 80's Nintendo released one of the most famous games of all time, and that game was “Donkey Kong”. A game in which you played as Mario that had to avoid obstacles across a number of platforms, with sometimes a hammer in hand to save a damsel in distress from a giant barrel throwing ape called Donkey Kong.
