Gilligan's Mine (2024) - Quick Look - ZX Spectrum

[@retropuffer2986]

Neat! Great to see people making home brew of early 80s platformers. 😀🕹

[@gearsofgames]

Yeah, it's nice to see so many polished home-brew titles pop up on the Speccy!

[@DJKnol1977]

I frequently try this on the Arcade emulation (Kinhank X2 Pro) but it's so hard! I never got past the first level! Love the nostalgy though, I also saw this one in the Arcade halls in the 80's.

[@gearsofgames]

Yeah, the arcade is really tough! Never got close to finish the first level either!

[@Ian45968]

Looks really good but as a 48k owner I'm disapointed that it's 128k only and apart from the music I can't see why that is.

[@gearsofgames]

Yeah, there is an additional level too, so maybe that is part of it not fitting into a 48K.

A nice "simple" game.. but not so simple, then? ("faster than arcade version" ? but, it’s just a (new) ZX game, so it’s harder;D )

[@gearsofgames]

I would say that they are pretty even when it comes to the difficulty. But the enemy AI is seems a bit more evil in the arcade and you move a bit slower when you carry gold. 😁
