The engine is the same - just the sprites are different.
It's more about the genre. The only thing that was
a lot has been done on the Spectrum - that’s the logic /
puzzles. According to my estimate, about 60% of all games are in ex-ussr.
Moreover, this is mainly characterized by primitive extended games
to the entire disc (Magic Stripes, Hundred, 15, Open It, Turn...)
There are few real masterpieces here. I would note
perhaps only King Valley and Hexxagon.
Although I think this genre has not exhausted itself yet...In second place are dizzy-like ones. 20 percent. In the majority

consumer. The graphics there are simply cool!!! I have
demo show made from the final version - 80K), 48 irons, etc.
But for such games you need to have a thoughtful idea
and a sea of graphics.

Right now I’ll remember... Ah... well, yes, there’s a prince outside
competition! Then Mortal Kombat, Ice Climber,
Dina Blaster, Tank Wars, Pinocchio :), oops -
Sexonix - also rules!

Well, maybe if it’s something like NBA99.

As for logic - hmm, I already said that logic is stupid
I'm tired of it. There are very few quests and strategies - maybe
Is that why they are in demand?

If there is high-quality code, then you can develop any
style, even logic ;)
I was with you

Greetings, Arseniy!

we were talking about new games...

Have you seen I,BALL 2? Tama all the graphics are color and almost
nowhere do the attributes overlap each other, almost everything is there
sprites are 2*2, and everything moves smoothly...
Haven't I bothered everyone yet with the constant mention of this hubbub?
I really like her. And my last record for
its completion - 1 hour 04 minutes :)

Sorry, but Videosport and GameBox are the fruit of my younger brother’s wild imagination,
which is in Finland right now :)))
Are there those here who are fans of our “Talking ABC” on the beepper? ;))
Warm greetings, Slava!
