On this site the best games with 1986 for 1996 are assembled
David and Richard Darling ( Foto ) first started writing computer games when they
were in their early teens and still at school. They duplicated the
cassettes themselves and sold them by mail order, taking small
advertisements in magazines. From these beginnings David and Richard
became contract programmers. They wrote and sourced games for major best
sellers.
In October of 1986 the Darlings set up CodeMasters, their own
company.But true glory has come to it with
creation together with Oliver Twins of series of games about Dizzy.
Egg with hands and legs living in fantastic kingdom Yolkfolk in the house on a tree.
This series of games with glory has passed on the European countries, but for any reason in 1994
a series of games was stopped, but Dizzy has not died, and since 1993 he has received many continuations in fans games, especially
Great Britain and former Soviet Union.
The company was the best selling software house in Britain.
Their latest and probably most famous creations, the Micro
Machines series, has proven to be so popular that it dominates the
Codemasters website. There is now no mention of Dizzy...: (
On this site the best and interesting games Codemasters till 1996 are placed. Year with 1986 for 1996 best years in a history of the computer industry.
Naturally most of all of games on ZX Spectrum ( Photo 1) .Best 8-bit the computer of 20 century! And other computer that time: Amiga(Ammi),Commodore 64,Sega MD,Nintendo (Dendy),AtariST,Amstrad CPC,Super Nes, IBM PC.
All games presented in this site for ZX SPECTRUM in the format hobetta , *trd(*scl) and *tap. And their usage is necessary, for example needs Spectrum Navigator (SN113)
and to copy them in the format *trd.To many games the archive with the original version in *tap (*tzx) a format is applied.
The format *trd(*scl) is an image the disk (5'25 or 3'5) for an operating system of a TR-DOS, which has got accustomed in Europe, especially in former Soviet Union. ( Photo 2)
And for the Englishmen have got accustomed formats: z80, sna, tap,tzx. ( Photo 3)
Z80 and SNA are extremely inconvenient, since are a dump of a computer memory at the moment of operation of the program and are not valuable programs, can have errors or not work.
Format *tap(*tzx) a valuable image of programm from the cassete, but with him it is very difficult to work, to make the directories of games, but is probably for different manipulations: insert different cheat mode, carry on a diskette.
I have tried to collect games as it is possible in more original sort, but remember, that all introduced games on this site initially were on a tape, and in tr-dos were aftered. If you
want to buy original games, it can be made in the Internet or to go to Great Britain. Many games till now are sold. ( Photo 4)
For start of games on PC the emulators are used. For example, Ureal Spectrum. The images of disks *.trd (most widespread format). As is *td and *fdi. It too images of disks, but having other structure. ( Photo 5) Not all emulators understand them, but with the help of different utilities it is possible converting from one format in another. ( Photo 6)
TR DOS — simple operating system for ZX SPECTRUM. ( Photo 7) Main commands: CAT (brief disk directory), LIST (complete disk directory), RUN "name"; LOAD "name" (the start of programs).Name is underlined without the extension. The register of characters necessarily should coincide. The files with the extension (B) (Basic) are launched. ( Photo 8)
If on the disk there is a file under a title boot (B), it is not necessary to launch games by name. It is enough to push RUN, and the file itself will be started, having output the disk directory. ( Photo 9)
Many games on this site are supplied with the detailed description and have cheat modes. More in detail inside each archive.
All utils and emulators for IBM PC can be downloaded on this site.
