Indie Retro News: Cubix - The first 3D platformer of its kind for the ZX Spectrum! www.indieretronews.com/2025/08/cubi... #retrogaming #gaming #games

It’s not a very good game but I can’t recall the last time I saw it come up for sale. I think the most I’ve paid for a Spectrum game was about £15 for Defender of the Crown. The audio tape was great but the program tape was blank 😒

I remember trying to write my own adventure back in the day. One of the choices that lead to your death was bumping into Kylie and her killing you by singing I Should be so Lucky 😂

And in modern times he blames the company’s demise on software piracy. Strange how companies such as Ultimate and Ocean continued to thrive back then.

Early retirement. If only!

I bought this issue of YS from the back issues section of mag just for this map!

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Jungle Trouble is insanely difficult. It took me approximately 40 years to finally make it to the left hand side of the screen!

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

I don’t think I ever loaded the tape. I saw “cricket” and thought “it’s not for me”. I’ll have to give it a go!

Great photo!

I remember when you came out all those years back. I don’t know why some people have a problem with it. It’s just clothes. It always makes me smile seeing you with latest shoes or new outfit. I’d just wish you’d smile in the ruddy photos 😊

Now, I really don't like Musk. I also really hate Trump. But which one do I dislike the most?

YS basically proclaimed Psycho Pigs UXB as the second coming. I bought it because of their hype. It wasn’t very good (nice 128k music, though)

As a fellow baldy, I’m tempted with a hair piece like that myself. Lovely and warm!

While it was sad seeing the magazine transform to a pamphlet, those tapes were a great source of older but classic games. Moon Cresta and Monty Mole for example.

It's shameless promotion time!

We have an EU, JP, and US code for X-Out Resurfaced up for grabs on your choice of Switch, PS5 or PC. Just repost this or become a new ININ follower during this promo period. We'll pick a winner from each territory in three days from now!

Great game. I ended up buying the PCB so I could play it at home.

I’m only around 7 hours in and am really enjoying exploring. Having completed the other Xenoblade games I’m finding it difficult to warm to the characters as your player is basically a blank slate.

Very nice. How many hours in were you before the game let you pilot a Skell?

You’ve come to the wrong place if you’re expecting us to say anything other than “do it!”

I really liked the Amiga conversion of Atomic Robokid. I was useless at it but still had loads of fun playing it.

Those look fantastic. Thank you for sharing. I’ll show my daughter tomorrow morning. She’ll love seeing these.

The audio in Glider Rider was incredible. It changed seamlessly depending whether you were on bike or glider. I don’t think I experienced that kind of audio magic again until Super Mario World when you got on Yoshi and the bongos came in.

My daughter bought her first one last weekend. A small milk bottle with one plant in. Let us know how you get on with the session. Watching YouTube videos where people put one together is almost zen like.

I’ve got the original in the collection. Not sure if I’ve ever played it.

Looks like a poor man’s Sabre Wulf.

It’s the only Xenoblade game I’ve not completed. I have it for the WiiU but when I saw this was coming out I decided to go for it. It’s the game out of the series that’s not grabbed me. Hopefully the Switch version will change my mind.

A lovely little Mappy clone.
