Dingo-ed!22/11/2011 Great fun to see the first brand-new ZX Spectrum game in an era! Launched at the spectacularly successful R3PLAY EXPO at Blackpool this November, Dingo received unqualified praise from those who played it there for all the qualities that made 8-bit gaming the rewarding experience of a lifetime. Dingo was a 1983 arcade game written by arcade developers Chris and Tim Stamper of Ashby Computers & Graphics Ltd. When the brothers launched their Spectrum development house Ultimate Play The Game, in the rush to get games like Jetpac and Lunar Jetman out, Dingo was was left on the shelf. Within weeks of launching Jetpac, Ultimate was recognized as the…well, ultimate software house. Now, twenty-eight years later, Dingo has been resurrected and converted to the ZX Spectrum by Soren Borquist and former Ocean/Imagine graphics man Mark R Jones. It runs on a 48k Spectrum and a free version to use on a Spectrum emulator is available at the World Of Spectrum. Additional material includes inlays for tape cassettes and two sizes of box, plus labels and art. |
