Original drawings from 1987
Our Story
It all started around 1984 when my twin brother and I received our first computer.
It was the ZX Spectrum 48k, and it was for Christmas at age 4.
Between 84-87, we would spend an hour each night exploring the incredible world of the Spectrum with our dad.
We battled games such as Sabre Wulf, Underwurlde, Spellbound, Finders Keepers, Horas goes skiing, Chuckie Egg and Hunchback!
Weekends were spent riding our BMX bikes around the village or playing football until the sun went down.
The years past quickly and during the winter of 1987 the dreaded day came when the Spectrum eventually broke down.
Money was tight back then, so we used our imagination and we would draw gaming levels on the back of wallpaper.
We drew so many levels for adventure games between 1987-1989 and each time we did them, they got better and better.
The Atari 2600 came, as did the Amstrad CPC 464 which were brilliant machines.
But we always kept going back to the Spectrum.
Skip forward to 2021.. during those lockdowns, we decided to dig through the garage to find the old speccy.
After a few hours we came across the old box, plugged it all in and to our amazement, it was on and fully working.
After playing a few of the classics, i turned my attention to the bag what contained all those cassettes.
i rummaged around inside the bag and turned the pages on the old Amstrad CPC 464 manual and couldn't believe what i discovered.
Soon after, we then decided to bring those levels to life and create games based on those levels specifically for the ZX Spectrum 48k.
We are very careful to keep the game original and keep the levels as authentic as possible to the 80's drawings.
It's interesting that the levels we drew during those cold winter nights of 87 would now be a fully working game decades later.
This is a true adventure trapped in time from the mind of two 80's children.
Secrets will be available soon from our website, which will be the first of many games.
