The Way of the Exploding Fist – Physical It was 1985 when The Way Of The Exploding Fist was unleashed upon the world and it took it by storm. More than 500,000 copies sold in Europe alone and universal praise by all specialist press of the era.

Based on the never-released Amiga version graphics by Steven Day, streamlined and enhanced for the ZX Spectrum Next, this game is sure to demonstrate that the Next is indeed an Amiga Killer! Last but not least there’s a full 9-channel in-game soundtrack by Richard Braithwaite with digital sfx by Phoebus Dokos and Lyndon Sharp paired with studio-recorded title/intro arrangements by Constantine Mihalos.

Baggers in Space: The Detour – Physical Edition – Preorder “Here we go again!” Looks like Baggers is lost again! So, what happened this time? After sitting at home and twiddling his magic thumbs, he decided that another space trip was long overdue. It was not very long into his journey that he saw a sign indicating a detour, and not giving it too much thought, he plots a course in the direction shown. As he merrily ventured forth, he was taken aback by the beauty of a pretty wormhole, and flies in for closer look… Join “Baggers” in his final adventure and in his toughest challenge yet… Compatibility: ZX Spectrum Next, N-Go, X-Berry Pi, MiST(er), other systems are untested. This title supports play at 50/60hz, though 60hz is recommended. Check here for download edition:  Please note this is a preorder and will be delivered as soon as it's available!
