A downloadable game

Timex Computer 2048 version

Find treasure fight monsters

Based on the type-in game from the April 1982 edition of  Computing Today.

This game can only be played on:

  • A real Timex Computer 2048.
  • A real ZX Spectrum (minimum 48K).
  • A Timex or Spectrum emulator such as Fuse.


Limitations:

  • This version is not compatible with the Timex Sinclair 2068.
  • Loading and saving games requires a device that supports ESXDOS such as DivMMC or DivIDE. Fuse can be set up to emulate an ESXDOS device. However it is a lot simpler to just use snapshots.
  • TC2048 Hi-color mode only works through composite or TV connections not ZX-HD.

Development

Thanks! Nice to see a new game for the HiColor and the esxDOS. It works perfectly on the eLeMeNt ZX computer with the DivSD, the enhanced graphics is supported and 8x1 attributes are visible through the eZX-HDMI output.
