World of Spells (2025) by JTKrakow for ZX Spectrum.

A 3D raycasting engine pushes the 48K to 80fps, something once thought impossible on 8-bit. Rescue the princess, dodge dragon fire, and watch fireballs bounce off mirrors.

BrewOtaku is a retro homebrew gaming magazine “where new games keep old systems alive”. We cover fresh games for old consoles, handhelds, and computers. Dealing with limitations of very old systems is a passion and an art in itself, and still, coders out there can get the most out of the least and release fresh games regular!
