Just a little article about a odd (but fun) emulation project. Supratim Sanyal has got 18 Nintendo Game & Watch games, including Donkey Kong and Oil Panic, running on a ZX Spectrum 48K.

The Spectrum emulates the chip inside the handhelds, so it’s running the original game code while drawing those familiar LCD segments on a TV. My favorite bit of it is that Sanyal also made a new Game & Watch-style maze game called Munchy, which you can try without supplying any Nintendo ROMs (well, if you have the admittedly niche hardware that is)

    Apologies. Fixed.

    My first computer was a donated ZX Spectrum with 1k memory. I had no tape drive, so I would program in a game, copied from a magazine, and play it, and when I switched it off it was gone.

    When we visited my dad he had a 16k that he had upgraded to 48k. I remember playing Jet Set Willy and Elite.
