DSpec PUBLIC Beta Released! v0.2a (Spectrum Emulator for Nintendo DS)

[wraggster]

The Hive has released a new Public Beta Version of his Spectrum emulator for the Nintendo DS, heres the interesting part he has posted a puzzle for you to solve to get the password to the Zipfile.

Heres his puzzle:

The screenshots below represent a smattering of Speccy nostalgia from my youth. Infact, they are probably all jointly responsible for the ultimate demise of my Speccys membrane keyboard, and certainly a few occasions of bloodshot eyes.

But, do any of you lot remember them? And more importantly, can you identify them from the screenies?

The first character from each game will form a 15 character password that you will NEED to UNRAR DSpec 0.2a (when it's released later this evening).

But please, once you know the password don't post it here Should be easy for most, but we'll see.

BTW - the password is not a word or sentence - it's meaningless, so you won't be able to fill in the blanks if you only know some of the games. Mwah ha ha ha ha haaa

-HiVE

Awesome fun for Spectrum fans and a new emulator to try for those who can solve it

[Metal_Spirit]

Same here... I also have another ideia. Don´t tell us where to download it, and let us guess the url.

Oh joy...

They seem easy enough to me, quite a few of them are classics.......

[Metal_Spirit]

Thats exactly the problem... QUITE A FEW are classics. But the others are not and I don´t remember their names. There are two of them that i don´t even remember having seen them on the CRASH magazines that I still own.

^ I'm the same as you metal_spirit i remember quite a few of them but there are some where i don't have the faintest idea

anyway look forward to trying this at some point lol

Well.. this is not fair... If the release is not meant for all, then just keep it private...

As such, i will release the names of the games I do know, hope others help out here.
Note that the not posting the password here is just a request, not a demand, so I don´t think i´m breaking any rules here. Besides The password is nowhere to be seen, just the name of some of the games.

1- Wheelie
2- Nodes of Yesod
7- Trashman
8- Spy Hunter
9- Exolon
10- Bloodaxe
12 - Auf Wiedersehen Monty??? ou Monty Mole?
14- Yie Ar Kung Fu

The others I cannot remember their names or worse, I never heard of them. Someone can help with the others?

[MikeDX]

I hardly know any..

4: caves of doom
11. Atic atac (i think)

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Well.. this is not fair... If the release is not meant for all, then just keep it private...

Exactly! What about the younguns who don't know WTF those games are? AKA Freakin' me!

Thanks MikeDX for your contribution, although a search on google seems to point that both your tips are off.. Thanks nevertheless.
