# ZX Spectrum Game Disassembly Collection



A collection of classic 1980's ZX Spectrum games, disassembled, annotated,

and provided here in the Skoolkit `.skool` format.



The disassemblies in this collection were either converted from the Skoolkit

HTML output back to the original `skool` format, or from plain Z80 assembly

files. Skoolkit is a great tool for aiding disassembly of Z80 based programs,

and in particular 8-bit computer games for the ZX Spectrum, making this a

useful source format to use.



In the decades since these games were created, many people have created

annotated disassemblies, however, many of those are no longer available, or at

best only available on the Internet Archive. This collection was created as a

central place to bring together these previous efforts while also providing

another, hopefully long living, archive.



## The Collection



_Ask forgiveness, not permission._ This collection is made from the excellent

work of other people. If you are one of these, and wish me to remove the

included disassembly, please let me know. My email is available in the `git log`.

## Additional Projects



* [JetPac](https://github.com/mrcook/jetpac-disassembly), in 2018 I created a

  fully annotated disassembly of this classic game.

* [The Lords of Midnight](https://github.com/mrcook/lords-of-midnight-disassembly), contains

  disassemblies of both the ZX Spectrum and DOS (1991) versions of the game.

* [Chuckie Egg](https://github.com/mrcook/chuckie-egg-disassembly), a very much incomplete

  disassembly I started after Jetpac, but still contains a lot of useful information.

* The creator of Skoolkit has made several excellent disassemblies including;

  [Skool Daze](https://github.com/skoolkid/skooldaze), [Back to Skool](https://github.com/skoolkid/backtoskool),

  [Manic Miner](https://github.com/skoolkid/manicminer), and [Jet Set Willy](https://github.com/skoolkid/jetsetwilly).

* [The Great Escape](https://github.com/dpt/The-Great-Escape), David Thomas has

  been working on this very complete disassembly for several years now.

* [Paul Maddern](https://github.com/pobtastic) has several Work In Progress disassemblies

  including; The Hobbit, Trashman, Wheelie, PSSST, and The Way of the Exploding Fist.

* [Ritchie Swann](https://github.com/Ritchie333) has disassembled several games

  including 3D Deathchase, Everyone's A Wally, and Starquake.

* [Chaos - The Battle of Wizards](https://github.com/ZXGuesser/chaos-disassembly) is a

  disassembly built on the Chaos files in this repo.



## General Skoolkit Usage



Visit [Skoolkit](https://skoolkit.ca/) and read the docs.



You will need the original `.tzx` tape image (or `z80` snapshot) if you wish

to make further additions to the annotations.



## Code Editor Tools



If you're a **SublimeText** editor user, I've created syntax highlighting

plugins to make viewing `.skool` and `.asm` files a little nicer:



* [SkoolkitZ80](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SkoolkitZ80) syntax package.

* [Z80 Assembly](https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Z80%20Assembly) syntax package.



Cheers,
