Smudge: Bad Moonee Rising
A downloadable game
Here at last, the remake no-one asked for. This is a new ZX Spectrum update of Sparklers’ 1985 budget release Smudge & The Moonees.
Smudge is a jetpack-powered chimney sweep in the French town of Le Crelle, a town with curiously British-sounding street names. The original picked up 3/10 in Your Sinclair who described it as a “load of old Gallics”.
This version features prettier graphics and smoother gameplay while painstakingly adding new flaws into the mix.
Controls:
Smudge can be controlled with keyboard or joystick.
- Q: Up
- A: Down
- O: Left
- P: Right
- SPACE: Exit a screen
- G: Pause
- T: Quit
Instructions
Sweep the chimneys of each screen in turn, returning to the Laundrette after each screen to clean up and recharge. To sweep a chimney, simply drop onto it using your jetpack.
When you've cleared the level, you must head to Buck House, the Mayor's residence (why? Don't ask difficult questions!). The long final street of Le Crelle mirrors the screen layout of the original.

Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.
That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.
The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.
The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.
It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.
If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.
Juan.
