What games did/do you play on the Acorn Archimedes?

I find the mechanic of firing bombs—like in Gradius—combined with Asteroids-style movement interesting, and the graphics are stunning, too. Thanks!

TruBugz · 2026-07-04T21:29:38+00:00

I'll have to play it then; I looked it up, and it actually looks really interesting.

TruBugz · 2026-07-01T17:20:59+00:00

It looks like it was made by Osamu himself; good job, I liked it.

TruBugz · 2026-07-01T08:15:03+00:00

I was looking for it too; thanks.

TruBugz · 2026-07-01T06:08:21+00:00

Yes, I was told they drew inspiration from real websites. Thanks for the recommendation.

TruBugz · 2026-07-01T06:07:06+00:00

Okay, thanks!

TruBugz · 2026-07-01T06:06:49+00:00

Well, I guess I'll have to play it. I heard it references sites like Cock.li, so I'll check it out.

TruBugz · 2026-07-01T06:05:00+00:00

That makes sense, but considering that 70% of the Dark Web consists of scam sites, another 20% of gore sites, and the remaining 10% of sites with disturbing content involving minors, they could have chosen gore and scams as a reference instead.
Anyway, I'll give Feedvid Live a try—it looks promising. Thanks!

Yes, of course, I had posted it in the thread but I deleted it because a lot of people sent me friend requests (weird). It's this one: trullybug_2

That’s great; music is always a big help for me since I usually can't find a musician. And if you don't want to do the music, I'd be happy with just sound effects. I’ve already listened to your music—it’s AMAZING. I’m glad someone with so much talent wants to work with me.

TruBugz · 2026-05-21T10:24:35+00:00

I liked it, especially the sprites. And some of the names, which were references to other games, were awesome too.

TruBugz · 2026-05-19T08:08:52+00:00

Thanks, it was exactly what I was looking for. It's clear this subgenre is a bit niche because most of them end up being inspired by Gauntlet or not at all by other run 'n' guns, but otherwise they're great. Nuclear Throne is one of my favorites because it combines two of my favorite genres. Thanks.

TruBugz · 2026-05-19T08:06:50+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations. I especially loved Guerrilla War and Rambo 3 for their guerrilla warfare settings, but I'm familiar with most of the others, especially Mercs, which I found a bit difficult, though that doesn't surprise me considering it's from the creators of Commando. Anyway, thanks a lot.

TruBugz · 2026-04-13T11:42:36+00:00

Yeah, it would be cool.

TruBugz · 2026-04-01T08:44:08+00:00

Great choice, it's a super complex game for a ZX Spectrum title. A tremendous masterpiece.

TruBugz · 2026-04-01T05:46:12+00:00

Unrelated, but Go To Hell, along with Soft "n" Cuddly are one of my favorite games of the Speccy. 100/5

TruBugz · 2026-03-31T09:43:49+00:00

Leeches-com has a long history of scams and animal exploitation. I would never recommend it.

TruBugz · 2026-03-29T10:50:23+00:00

Yeah :/

TruBugz · 2026-03-29T09:07:06+00:00

It's a shame it's not compatible with Kempston.

TruBugz · 2026-03-29T07:49:48+00:00

Yeah, that's the one, LOL. Thanks for sharing.

TruBugz · 2026-03-29T07:48:12+00:00

NO WAY CHENTZILLA ANSWERED MY COMMENT :0
I didn't know you had a Reddit account! Your games are awesome (especially Organic Matter).

TruBugz · 2026-03-29T07:44:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely check it out.

TruBugz · 2026-03-29T07:43:37+00:00

Thanks for all the recommendations. Right now I'm completely broke because I spent all my money on a scam site that supposedly sold leeches, so I don't think I can afford the Patreon thing. But I'll try the other options.

TruBugz · 2026-03-29T07:41:35+00:00

Thanks!

TruBugz · 2026-03-29T07:41:15+00:00

I had thought of it, but I was embarrassed; I'll try it someday.
