TJ's Cavern Capers

TJ’s Cavern Capers is a ZX Spectrum game from the end of last year by Gaz Marshall, you can download it here. It’s dedicated to some YouTuber that I hadn’t heard of, I’ll go check some of his videos.

The Goblin

The Goblin is a new ZX Spectrum game by hicks, you can download it here. You play a little goblin jailer trying to return escaped demons to their cells. You don’t have any weapons though, and have to use the power of your belches after you’ve drunk some beer.
