Hackers/modded games

BuzzySounds · March 2015

I was wondering does anyone do this on the Spectrum? I know there are a few people on the Commodore 64 scene who alter games, add options, trainers etc.

I'd love a version of Cybernoid where you could keep the 128k sound effects but turn the music off, instead of just sound on/off.

Harry price, is that you?

I'm sure I've got a copy of Rockstar Ate My Hamster which is hacked to ask if you want to start with ?50,000,000, but personally I've not come across any other trainers.

Back in the day I got a copy of Abu Simbel Profanation hacked with infinite lives.

Even with that, it was hard to finish!

I also got Alien 8 with a loader at the beginning of the loading asking for how many lives did you want at the start of the game.

Most things worth playing on the Speccy have been hacked for .tap / DivIDE / Spectanet / disc systems, and trained along the way. There are some prolific hackers in this regard, not least Nuggetreggae from these forums.
There are places you can access thousands of such titles, even chosen from a handy online menu if you use Spectranet.
However, saying much more on the subject would be breaking forum rules.

My mate gave me a hacked version of Bruce Lee. There was this screen which had an extra life bonus in it, but if you left the screen and re-entered, you the bonus was available again. It was mental.

That's the normal version. :grin:

Bruce Lee could have done with that option himself !

It was only in a recent making-of that it was pointed out that Marshall Law's original outfit for Tekken (v1, arcade), besides being an obvious copy of the yellow outift from Game of Death, has a Japanese 'Engrish' gag on it in the form of a large blue three. :lol:

I'll check these websites out. Cybernoid, with 128k sound FX on and music off will be my holy grail lol.

Before the old forums crashed I was tinkering with some POKEs Black Hole created to toggle the music on and off:

Made several years ago. This version has music toggle that keeps sound fx. Also cargo timer bug is fixed, and fix to lift collisions.

The music toggle fix was by Mr Anonymous, and is here.

And I made a small new level. Its here.

There are a bunch of games heavily improved by russians. Dizzy, Elite for example.
Of course, a lot of games were changed to support disk versions, or run on modern ZX-clones, and many had small cracktro with possibility to set trainer mode.

Sorry for being off-topic, but as you seems to like Cybernoid, have you ever seen this?

I remember it. Nice smooth Cybernoid clone. Easier too.
