You can purchase the digital version now on TechnoShedsoftware.com. also works on the current spectrum next emulator cspect. Full install and setup video on my channel. The game also works on next clone machines xberry and N-Go.

Thank you for your kind comments...and yes it is awesome.

@@BAPSTARCADE I've followed the step by step instructions for the Cspect emulator on your channel got it working with no problems whatsoever & purchased your Amazing game & love it, I am very impressed, Thank you very much for all your help :)

Yeah you may be right. Unusual for a 16bit game also. The Amiga version technically should have been the best one. The Next version is incredible.

​@@BAPSTARCADE Totally agree. The Next version looks amazing. 🤓

Yeah...same..got there in the end.

Haha..yeah...the B@st&£#@ hehe

Thanks. Appreciate the comments.

Watch this space :)

@@BAPSTARCADE ok.

Great fun

Wow...thank you. Comments like that keep me going. Glad you like the channel.

Thank you

Hey!! Cheers for having a look. Much appreciated

@@BAPSTARCADE not a problem. Will catch up with some of the others :)

Haven't tried but the spectrum next was designed to work with legacy hardware in mind.

It's a great version

Kevman3d?

I absolutely love this place!

First list of digital none physical only

Didn't know about this one cheers. Apparently there is a remaster of this also.

Nice addition then👍

Personal preference I think mate. There's nothing game breaking. The options are there to tweak the gameplay yourself which I like. I wasn't a fan of the original and I think that was partly down to the speed of the game. I actually prefer the speed of the next version, hopefully you can give it a try. Not sure why the room changing music isn't there but if it was exactly the same then I wouldn't see the point. The next has to stand on its own like the Amiga did over the 64 imo. Thanks for your comments anyway, always good to see other people's take from watching.

Yes, this was meant as a extended game, with extra rooms as well a extra level. That was a part of the kickstarter project. So we did that. So hence chickens and a extra level. Various tweeks also have been done throught the game as well how we presentation the game. Its all down to the personal taste and nothing more. So there is various tweaks here and there, but still close to the original. Yes there is a another moderen pc version. That mordern version is just a purchased from the free 2004 version......

​@@spacefractaltotally agree this is a great game, and my comments weren't me saying I don't like the game, I love the look of this and can't wait to try it at some point ........ just being a little critical - I still think it's amazing to see this in 2024 and see one of my oldest gaming memories get the lick of paint it deserves

​@@BAPSTARCADEtotally agree that a lot of my criticisms are personal preferences ....... and none them mean I don't like it, it's just me being critical of a favourite. In fact, I can't wait to give it a go at some point. It's nice to see one of my oldest gaming memories brought to life like this.

@@duncanwoodward6831 They were fantastic observations mate. Infact I have used a few of your questions and observations for my next podcast episode. Stay tuned. Cheers buddy.

It's not meant to be a carbon copy...we have the originals and they will never be changed. This is the Next version like the Amiga, and ST version that came after. Trust me it plays and looks awesome. But if you prefer the original then that's fine also. Thanks for your comments.

The presentation screen looks a bit odd but the ingame version is pretty close, keeping in mind they have gone from just a few pixels to a higher resolution. Have pretty fond memories of this on Amstrad, C64 and Amiga, then a few years back on a Windows remake that got taken down (still available on internet archive though.)

@@Fontgod hmm..will have to hunt the pc one down, never seen that version. Cheers.

​@@Fontgod...oh it's on steam, and there is a Nintendo switch version! Down the rabbit hole I go.....

@@BAPSTARCADE Actually there is a free PC version from Retrospec from 2003 before it got pulled from their website as I think that Piko Interactive may have convinced them to sell it instead and they removed the link. BUT if you can find the original download page and then tap that URL into internet archive you should be then able to find that old version. I'd link to it for you but I think youtube generally deletes posts with links.

There's always time to play....:)

@@BAPSTARCADE there is now Webster v0.3BETA is finished🙂

Agree..but I mainly want to see original titles so the Next can stand on its own.

You won't be getting any updated versions of anything from us. HoH was a Kickstarter stretch goal and that's why we did it. The real clue is in the name of the machine. NEXT. We want to develop as well as see what games people create NEXT. We don't want to be continually revisiting the past. That is pointless.

@simonbutler-bq8yb very true, I love arcade style games, driving games, rather than platform games, I think the Next could come into its own with new games. Sometimes simpler games done well are the ones that keep us coming back.. think how spectrum games started basic then we were wowed within a few years.. can't wait to see some new stuff now

Why thank you sir

From what I've seen, the Next games seem to be on par graphically with Amiga and Atari ST.

No mate

Look up the xberry pi or the N-Go. There's also a fantastic emulator called cspect.

@@BAPSTARCADE will do thank you

Just looked , definitely on my project lists thank you again 👍

Really? Interesting...I'll look into that as mine works perfectly.

Might mean Xbox series s and X controllers..not Xbox one X and s.

I have both so will try them out...this vid needs a refresh anyway. Cheers.

It is!

I was just curious...and to be honest I've tested out a few things. The scary thing is I've bought the same kind of things from Amazon ! You have to remember everything has come from china for years you're just cutting out the middle man.

@@BAPSTARCADE very good point lol, ya see even those from Amazon are sketch lol

It's incredible what people can find and do when there's limitations. Modern gaming relies on things being too easy now with ready made engines.

I do not think Krzysztof was figuring out this for three decades😉Imagine this game released in 1987 or 1990🤗 Carmack was not referring to STOCK Amiga, he wrote "even the fastest amiga hardware"🤦‍♂ DREAD is obviously not converting bit planes to chunky. Carmack was wrong and his ideas about Amiga 3D engines pretty limited.

@@TheGalacticIndian This was not possible without three decades of hindsight and other people trying though, so what he says stands.

Mate this looks much better than Wolfenstein 3D and is comparable to Doom’s graphical complexity while running on what is an equivalent to a 7Mhz Intel 286. At the end of the day Carmack was wrong, he only said it was impossible cuz it required an amount of effort that he just didn’t wanna deal with. Also you saying it like this was being developed for 30 years straight when the project was started just a few years ago lol. There always have been people that can be considered more skilled than Carmack in hardware optimization.

@@yancgc5098 Functionally it's more like Wolfenstein 3-D though, so this is not Doom. I never said that one developer was trying consecutively for three decades, but it took three decades for someone to come along and figure out how this can be done. Lastly, the original developer diary for Dread, which Grind originated from came out one Feb 23, 2020. So we're at about four years, three months. Doom's development cycle was 15 months. Carmack's statement stands.

Cheers! Stock A500 though?

Awesome question! Yes you can. You just need a plus 3 audio cable which is stereo to mono split. The original black and grey cable won't work. And then obviously you need a tape deck.

I show tape loading in the video.

@@BAPSTARCADE perfect thanks I'll look into that

@@BAPSTARCADE Ive seen a few online, just so I know Im getting the right cable, would you mind please linking me to the cable?

It's my first list. Hopefully some additional runs are made.

@@BAPSTARCADE yeah, hope so too!

Yes there is. Clive Townsend has a great section on his site. www.clivetownsend.com/next/index.php
