@markrjones1970.bsky.socialAs I'm in a #Wizball mood at the moment here's some history. Shown here is my 1st rough idea for a #ZXSpectrum ld scr, then a start of an attempt. Next is Simon Butler's sketch showing me how to change the art to landscape, then the original loading screen by myself.

@markrjones1970.bsky.socialLet's see your high-score tables then! I'm crap at it (but I can now score more than I could on the old version).
Who's better at #Wizball for the #ZXSpectrum than me?
@markrjones1970.bsky.socialHere it is then- a new enhanced 2026 version of #Wizball for the #ZXSpectrum with many new features & game improving tweaks. I hope you all like it. Feel free to let us know what you think (be nice!)
Many thanks to Leigh Ashton.

Another Arcade belter on the Spectrum Today! The Newzealand Story. Ocean did a great job on this one, one bad ass Kiwi on a mission!

@markrjones1970.bsky.socialHere's a short video of me playing the finished version of the enhanced, 128k only, version of #Wizball on the #ZXSpectrum. Full of various improvements - it has changed the game for me - now it's addictive & fun to play instead of being way too hard.
It'll be launched tomorrow! #OceanSoftware
@markrjones1970.bsky.socialMy highest score ever on #Wizball on the #ZXSpectrum thanks to this new enhanced version that should be finished & released later today.
So much more fun to play when you strive to beat your highest score & get your name on here #OceanSoftware #RetroGaming
@markrjones1970.bsky.socialFor the 1st time ever the #ZXSpectrum version of #Wizball has a working high-score table!

@markrjones1970.bsky.socialWe've now got a full credits screen that mentions everyone that was involved with the game #Wizball #OceanSoftware #RetroGaming #ZXSpectrum
@markrjones1970.bsky.socialHere's a video showing the new version of #Wizball as it is at the moment. Leigh has all my original graphics that I drew for the #ZXSpectrum version so he's going to see if anything can be added as loads of them weren't used.

@markrjones1970.bsky.socialJust been having a go on this, an enhanced & bug-fixed version of #Wizball on the #ZXSpectrum. Leigh Ashton has spent a month on this so far. No more flickery graphics or dodgy collision detection plus a parallax starfield among many other improvements. COMING SOON! #OceanSoftware #RetroGaming
