Action Platformer Game Baldy ZX for ZX Spectrum

Baldy ZX is a platform action game developed by Paul Jenkinson in 2015. The game challenges players to assist Baldy in recovering his stolen games across 20 levels filled with obstacles like spikes and moving projectiles. It is a modern adaptation of the 1992 Amiga game by the same name, with the first ten levels mirroring the original, while the latter ten offer new challenges.

The game is designed using the Arcade Games Designer by Jonathan Cauldwell and is compatible with ZX Spectrum 48K machines, although sound is unavailable on these devices. For a complete experience, players can use emulators that support AY emulation or real 128, +2, or +3 machines.

Players control Baldy using simple keyboard commands: Q to stand up, A to crouch, O to jump left, P to jump right, and SPACE to teleport. The game also supports Kempston or Sinclair Joysticks, providing flexible control options.
