Fred '92
Submitted by Thomas Harte on Mon, 2012-07-30 23:02.
As the scroller says, not so much a ‘best of’ as an effort to spread the word about all Fred’s releases up to the end of 1992. Includes demos of Waterworks, Bulgulators, Dyzonium, Spell Master, E-Tracker and Parallax.

Based on The Lost Tapes of Albion, a game originally written by Dave Hughes for the ZX Spectrum. With four levels of difficulty and twelve stages per difficulty level, guide Moebius around collecting the “lost disks of SAM”, a collection of games that were never released (let alone existed, with one recent exception) for the SAM Coupé. Along the way pick up some new clothes for your wardrobe, and even pick your favourite underwear colour at the start.
Redefinable controls, default are Q/A/O/P for up/down/left/right. Use the teleporters to go up and down the level, moving left or right through the screen boundary wraps your player around to the level above (left) or below (right).
I accesses the info screen, R from there to define keys. Space pauses, starts the game. Esc can be used to exit back to the main menu. Menu screen serves as a limited playable demonstration of the core teleporter concept and is used to select the difficulty level.

A shoot-em-up mini-game… somewhat flawed due to the low number of sprites on screen!
Use a joystick to play, shooting green bad guys increases your speed and red ones increase fire power. Red and green bad guys increase both.
BorderTron 3000 - Border Graphics Editor for SAM
Submitted by chris on Wed, 2012-05-23 00:09. NewsNot sure if anyone here would be interested in this or not, but I’ve added (with much help from Simon Owen) SAM Coupé support to “BorderTron 3000”, my Border graphics editor originally for the Spectrum.
It lets you draw pictures, and spits out SAM *.dsk files that draw those pictures in the Border area of your SAM.
http://freestuff.grok.co.uk/bordertron3000/ - it’s a Windows executable, but it should be fine under Linux or MacOS with WINE.
