NOTE: THIS RUNS ON A ZX SPECTRUM COMPUTER and you'll need an EMULATOR or the real thing to run it on. 

THIS DOES NOT PLAY ON REGULAR PC without an emulator!

JACK DRAGON 
An all new arcade experience for the ZX Spectrum home computer.

In a land far away, in a time long ago,
The evil Lord Knumbskull caused chaos and woe.

He stole a rare gem named the Great Stone of Peace,
Then smashed it and legged it, to somewhere out East.

Chaos took over as the gems power was gone,
We needed a hero, but they were all gone

Jack Dragon stepped up just because he was nice,
And he can probably do this: He’s a dragon of ice!

Game Instructions:

Gameplay is similar to the arcade classic 'Bomb Jack'. 

Collect all of the gem pieces (shown as little round things) to progress to the next level. Avoid touching the nasties. Collect the snowflake power up to freeze enemies in place (you are an ice dragon, after all!). On easy and medium difficulty modes, you can pass through enemies when they are frozen. On hard difficulty setting, you cannot pass through them.

Tap the jump key to fly, then when you are in the air you can tap the jump key multiple times to glide.

Keyboard controls (redefinable from main menu):

  • SPACE - Fly up (TAP this key to glide/hover)
  • O - Left
  • P - Right
  • H - Toggle pause

Made by me, PsychicParrot (Jeff Murray), in 2023. Thanks to Damien Guard for the awesome font, Jonathan Cauldwell for MPAGD and YOU for keeping the Speccy dream alive! I hope you enjoy this game as much as I do.
