Stardate 1696 , The Taris Xavia has been sent out into deep unknown space, after a signal was intercepted on TOI 700e, the only known human inhabited planet to exist.

After intercepting the strange alien signal you are met by hostile lifeforms that are determined to obliterate you. Your onboard computer deciphers the signal and shows the alien creatures intentions…Humans must die….. you pull out of warp and get ready to use your powerful elite experimental weapon systems to take out the massive threat that awaits. Good luck commander…the human race depends on you.


TX-1696 is a brand new Shmup game due for release this year. This impressive game takes full use of the Spectrum Next’s capabilities and was highlighted at Crash Live 2022 and the Retro Computer Museum Leicester events last year.

Back in March this year a competition to win an exclusive demo saw five lucky winners receive the demo and have their names entered into the game’s credits. The new demo will now be released for all who have pre ordered the game from luckyredfish.com this Friday.

The website now contains a timer clicking down to the release of the demo so get yourself on the pre order list so you can fire up your next with some shoot-em up goodness.

Bret Pritchard
I have been involved in gaming since the early days of Arcades and vintage gaming consoles like the Acetronic and Atari 2600. I remember when there were Arcades, and Arcade machines everywhere. It was a time when you could hire the latest video game cartridges from your local video store and play on Arcade Machines while waiting for your fish and chips. My first introduction to computers was the BBC Acorn at primary school and my first home computer was the rubber keyed spectrum. After time i had different spectrums, Ataris, Amigas and various consoles. At seventeen I worked in a video games shop in Birmingham (uk) called Microbyte where we were one of the first retailers to import all the latest Japanese consoles like the Sega Megadrive, Famicom, PC engine and Neo Geo.We even had ties with the Amiga demo group 17 bit software who produced some of the best public domain disks of that time. I have a genuine love for all consoles, computers, Arcades and gaming systems modern or retro.and my favourites would have to be the Spectrum, Amiga, Pc Engine and Megadrive.
