SHANGRI-La
Zx Spectrum 48K - Retro Adventure Game
Set in 1947, this adventure inspired by the forgotten classic (1937) movie "Lost Horizon", which in turn was inspired by the James Hilton novel of the same title, ( which invented the concept of Xangri-La ( or Shangri-La ) )
Shangri-La puts you in the role of an English diplomat/adventurer who crash lands somewhere in the Himalaias and finds the lost green valley of Shangri-La, where time doesn´t flow in the same way as it does in the outside world. Will you be able to return home without being out of time?
When I was a kid in the 80s, I loved ZX Spectrum 48K ( and as you will see here, I still do ), then I lost interest in video games when Atari and Amiga came out.
I was not into those at all.
But ZX Spectrum I loved! Text/Adventure games like "The Hobbit" and "The Neverending Story" in particular made me spend countless hours trying to solve them, and I was really into "Starstrike 3D" and "Starstrike 3D II" back then.
Recently, I got back to ZX Spectrum games because of GAC.
The Graphic Adventure Creator from Incentive software was my all-time favourite thing in the 80s, and I wrote several adventure games that got lost.
But I recovered a couple of my old GAC games ( "Space 1999" and "Shattered World" ) recently thanks to a friend connected to the ZX Spectrum world, and suddenly, I noticed how the ZX Spectrum is once again alive.
If you enjoy old-style text/graphics adventures on the ZX, you may enjoy my own games.
