Brief Overview

  • Fusion Retro Books and their partners, Pixel Jockey, have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the release of a collector’s edition cassette boxset of classic ZX Spectrum games: 3D Tank Duel, 3D Starstrike, and Starstrike II.
  • The campaign aims to raise £10,500 for production costs.

Key Details

  • All three games were originally released back in the 1984/86 era on the ZX Spectrum.
  • The boxset includes all-new cassette pressings and a stylish slipcase.
  • The campaign is available via Kickstarter and will run until December 9, 2024 at 7pm UTC.

Campaign Progress

  • The crowdfunding has already surpassed £7,500.

How do modern gamers feel about reliving the spirit of classic games on authentic hardware? Would you support this Kickstarter or prefer digital releases?

I wasted enough of my childhood waiting 15m for the game to load, only to crash after leaving the title screen. never going back to that authentic experience.

I remember, when playing RoboCop on the Spectrum, when you died you had to rewind the tape to the right place so you could reload just that one level. I died so much I could rewind the tape to exactly right place on the first try.
