    The Sanchez Crew's Aliens: Neoplasma titles offer the same intense atmosphere that you get from the best Alien-based games, particularly the stunning second game that came out in 2024. And they do it all on a 40-year old machine -- forget about being amongst the best modern Speccy games, these are two of the best ZX Spectrum games ever made. Enjoy!

      Imagine what could've been if Speccy programmers knew how to put the Speccy to these hights back in the 80s. Speccy boys would've owned C64 snobs on the schoolyard...

      @joypadretro2797 well... as an Atari 8-Bit coder I can tell you that the stuff which is possible on Atari today is way more impressive then the stuff in the 80s. And this is true even more so on the C64. So.... 😄

    Hi, Kim. Thanks for sharing this. Glad to see the 'Speccy', still have some 'Code', written for it. A great concept. I thought you had disappeared, so also glad to see you still around doing the wonderful job you do for all of us 'Nostalgia Geeks/Developers'.:)

    Sanchez Crew are simple awesome, they bring the console type of games (like NES) to the ZX Spectrum indeed, but with some fresh takes. The "terror" mood, sense of isolation like you've said is what I love on these games. I still have to play the second one, thanks for the video.

    Hey Kim. I was forced to get rid of my Amstrad and Amiga about 20 years ago, and feel slightly sick every time I think about that.
    Your channel really helps me with that. If anything, your channel tops actually playing those games and really transports me back to being a kid on my computers or in the arcade.
    Fantastic channel.

    yes i have these games for my Spectrum Next. I was on the second kickstarter for the next and I use one of those new retrobit Megadrive style 6 button pads and it works brilliant on it. The MD 6 button pad is essentially becoming the stock default controller for the Next with most new games directly supporting it. I live in Canada and never grew up playing any Spectrum but I LOVE my new Spectrum Next. I’m discovering tons of great games both new and old for it. Cheers! 🥂

    Kind of an emotional rollercoaster to see games created by people from a nation that is invading and killing people where members of their town dev eam live and could potentially be murdered by their own armed forces. I know the individuals making the game on both sides are not responsible, it's just a crazy thing to think about. Hope the Ukrainian members of the team are not bombed.

      You've been watching too much CNN. The Russians don't give a ... about this confilct, exactly as the Americans didn't give a ... about what happened in Iraq. The Ukrainians on migration too: when you ask sane men of draft age why they don't go defend their "poor" homeland, they look at you like you're crazy or outright laugh. Especially the young hate the government in Kiev, which a few years ago pacified pro-democratic students demonstrations who were fed up with the regime - which is not mentioned at all in the Western media (oh, wonder why).
