Here we are with another rather impressive looking homebrew, and it’s ‘Zak McDruken Saves The Chickens’ from RetroSouls Team for the ZX Spectrum. A game that not only has fantastic graphics while also having a clever use of color attributes, but it’s also very enjoyable while also remaining a challenge, as you try to solve some of the puzzles throughout each of the many levels. Certainly a game that’s worthy of a feature, both on this website, and throughout twitter(x).
While there is very little to go on from the website, Gentlemen’s Pixel Club (YT) who also did a video linked here, couldn’t have said it any better. “This isn’t just nostalgia – it’s brand-new 8-bit gaming in 2025! RetroSouls are back at it again, proving the Spectrum isn’t just alive – it’s still clucking. Expect quirky puzzles, retro charm, and plenty of chaos as Zak McDrunken does his best to save the day (and the chickens). Whether you’re running this on real hardware, emulators, or a MiSTer FPGA, you’re in for a treat. From tricky level design to laugh-out-loud moments, this is one indie retro release you don’t want to miss”.
