Jaja, Inmensa Bola de Manteca, innovando desde 498,97 XDDD
Ahora, sobre los juegos, la version de ZX Spectrum no me va bien, luego, la version de Amstrad CPC, si. Lo malo es la dificultad. Pero esta bien.
the zx spectrum emulator in html5 runs better than a nes emulator ran on my previous computer as an exe (2 years ago). what html5 emulators were meant to do. just make sure not to use the direction keys as those also control the browser window. w s a d or i j k l works just fine.
In 2013, Ivanzx, on his blog El rincón del Spectrum, started a contest to port any game from a spanish arcade machine to the ZX Spectrum. I decided to port Altair, a game from 1981 by the spanish company CIDELSA, which is a shoot 'em up with some interesting gameplay. It was finally the winner of the contest.
I released the game under the pseudonym Inmensa Bola de Manteca. When I was I child in Spain, as a joke, my friends used to say that the initials of the computer company IBM meant Inmensa Bola de Manteca (Immense Ball of Butter).
The game was programmed completely in Z80 assembly.
Later, I ported it to the Amstrad CPC.
You can play the game in your browser using the links below, but I recommend using an emulator compiled for your operating system. For example, Fuse for Zx Spectrum or Arnold for Amstrad.
The original game page is here: https://jorgicor.niobe.org/altair .
The complete source code is available.
