SCUBA DIVE (ZX SPECTRUM)

Zeus presents Scuba Dive (un-emulated) for the zx spectrum. A true classic from the golden era of spectrum gaming which must not be forgotten alongside the software house and all programmers that were involved in making this game.
Year of release: 1983
Great little game here from Durell, was never any good at it back in the day mainly because i didn't really get into it until now.
Collect all the pearls while avoiding all the sea creatures, pass the octopuses to get to the deep caverns where the treasure chests are, very nice.
Hope all you Spectrum fans enjoy this upload.
Please note: NONE of my game uploads are emulated in any way whatsoever, they are 100% original recordings by myself taken directly from the original hardware the game was intended for, that way you know you're watching the real thing.
I will also always state weather i am using any cheats in the game, if not mentioned then i am not using any.

I have fond memories of playing this with my Dad and brother. Great game!

"After Harrier Attack! we had a what-to-do-next meeting, and Durell MD Rob White suggested a variation of Frogger.
I like fish, having been a keen angler as a child, so I suggested a game where you dive and have to avoid fish.
There were long debates about whether the diver should have a weapon - not between the programmers, but
between Rob and his wife Vonny, who was strongly against violence in games.
Obviously Vonny won as there are no weapons in the game. It's a bit odd, however, that the player lost a life if
the diver touched a fish, but the diver couldn't defend himself. It's all very one-sided!"
-- Mike Richardson (game designer and programmer)
"After we had completed Harrier Attack! I suggested Scuba Dive, a game with similar sideways-scrolling action,
though I have to say the detailed and colourful way Mike Richardson implemented this was way beyond expectation:
people used to leave it switched on like a fish tank screensaver! What's often commented on, however, is that the diver
has no weapon, but rather has to avoid all the deadly underwater creatures. This was down to intervention by
my wife Veronica, who is very much a pacifist.
Needless to say I had my revenge in Turbo Esprit where the car had machine guns to blow away the drug dealers!"
-- Robert White (game designer and founder of Durell Software)

Chuckie Egg was incredible.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

I never really got into this game at the time back in the mid 80's as i found it slow compared to the games i was playing like Chuckie Egg which is fast paced, but i can see years later how good it was.
English fine :-)
