Great to see projects like this supported by government funding and seen as art preservation! I remember playing some of these games growing up, great job.


got anything to recommend?


A Slovak friend has informed me that there's an easter egg in Šatochin if you type KGB into the keyboard


Great project. It's good to see early video games being preserved in efforts like this.

I wonder if the games can be made playable directly in the browser with one of the DOS emulators?


They're all ZX Spectrum games I think.


I'd imagine the ZX Spectrum would be even more amenable to a browser-embedded emulation.


... they are already?

Click on the game name and there would be an emulator frame, just click on it; eg https://scd.sk/hra/satochin/


Nice. I missed those links and thought it was just a repo to download them from.

I suggest they make the screenshot grid clickable to the respective game page.


Would love to see someone find a copy of Duki Duki Snail.
