Completion of Alien 8 YouTube video

[CargoRunner]

Hey saberman, watched a few of your videos today. Good work! Made me very nostalgic!

I really like playing games on my TV with a controller these days rather than on my small laptop screen with keyboard. Is there a legal or easy way of playing the old spectrum classics like alien 8 and knightlore and pyjamarama on a modern TV? with a modern controller?

I am going to build a steam machine PC next year and hook that up to the TV but I assume it won't have a keyboard. Just a controller.

Hi

Glad you liked them I'm still going with the Mushroom Man levels at the moment. It is a really obscure game so there aren't many people watching the levels. I'll get back to some classics when those levels are complete.


If you have a Steam Box and can run emulators on it then EmuZWin allows a different controller to keyboard mapping file to be loaded for each game. That lets you have different controller to keyboard mappings for all you favorite games. I have a document I found on-line a few years ago that explains how to set it up. Along with loads of other emulators. If you want it PM me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you. I run EmuZWin on my MAME cab and it works really well but was a bit fiddly to set up in the first place.

As for legality check out World of Spectrum what what you can legally download and play. Unfortunately you can't legally play alien 8 and knightlore. Pyjamarama is fine to download and play though.

I'm really pleased with this one it has taken me a while to get a walkthrough of Manic Miner on video.
