About
The original Booty is a 1984 game; the source material gives no other details about it beyond that release year. BootyRemake_ZX is a 2019 remake of Booty for the ZX Spectrum 128k, built using the Mojon Twins' MK/2 game engine and released under GPL v2 (with the cover artwork illustrations separately licensed). The player controls a cabin boy exploring a pirate galleon's 20 screens, unlocking numbered doors with matching keys to collect all 125 pieces of treasure while avoiding pirates, rats, and the captain's parrot.
Getting started
The game offers two selectable control schemes (one using Q/A/O/P, the other W/S/A/D for up/down/left/right), with the space bar to open doors and M to toggle music.
