Title: Travel Through Time
Post by: HerrNove on January 10, 2026, 07:02:26 PM
A racing retrogame for the ZX Spectrum, featuring the wonderful and forgotten SAAB Sonett III (https://www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/automotive-history/cars-that-time-forgot-saab-sonett-iii/) and other Scandinavian creations.

I just translated a book by its authors (https://marnetto.net/2026/01/10/ttt-in-detail).

Anyone else heard about it? Here's a teaser trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRVx5An5ZUQ

Wow, it's really impressive to squeeze something like that out of the ZX Spectrum, even the 128K version. I'll definitely check book and game out, thank you!

If you want to play on your original 48K, the "side-chapter" Rubinho Cucaracha supports it :). But I'm a spoiled guy and use an emulator.

Which reminds me I forgot to provide a download link. The game is available from its entry on Spectrum Computing (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/37956/ZX-Spectrum/Travel_Through_Time_Vol1_Northern_Lights).

My 48K is back in Italy, so I'll have to make do with an emulator as well!
