ZX Spectrum 48k with 128k interface, the game starts well, cutscenes and selection screen ok, the AY music and sound effects are perfect, but when the gameplay starts the scenario appears normal and the spaceship is not there, only the shooting sounds.
Ok, I see, it’s a new interface and the setup may have something different to the original toastrack, as the game has been tested in real and emulated 128K hardware without problems. How are you loading the game? Any other interface? Redshift uses the double screen buffer present in 128K models, I wonder how this is implemented in the interface, because a problem with this feature can cause problems when presenting the screen… Unfortunately I dont’ have the interface to test. Who did design the interface? (I read “Tyrell” and even “Velesoft” but Velesoft’ page is down…) My other games like Thieves School and Carlos Michelis also rely in the double screen buffer, have you load them? (demos available)

I've tested several games at 128k, and this bug only happens in two games, Redshift and Fire n' Ice. I'm tried .tap .tzx and .trd, same results.

This is probably the best ship's game I've ever played. Couldn't have imagined such a playability in a zx spectrum.
Congratulations.
Thanks for your kind words, enjoy!
Hola, han pasado años desde que desarrollaste el juego y, de pronto, me he topado con él.
Me ha encantado, historia, gráficos, jugabilidad ... Un gran juego.
Me gustaría pedirte permiso para poder utilizarlo en las compilaciones de juegos que hago para los +3.
¡Felicidades, es un gran juego!
Hola merlinkv, sí, puedes incluirlo en tus compilaciones de +3, después me comentas cómo te fue.
Mi email es worldxxisoft@yahoo.com por si quieres contacto privado.
Gracias por tu interés y por tus interesantes aportes hardware!
Saludos
