Deus Ex Machina was a game made for ZX Spectrum and a couple of other homecomputers like...MSX1. It was a game without any sound, but it was sold with a separate audio-tape.
The game was more like a story with mini-games and you had to find out while playing how the mini-games work and what to do...
The music was very minimal, but at the end of the tape, when your score in % was displayed, there was a silly song I could not get it out of my mind.
The song was called (I think) "Don you every get weary"..( MediaFire / DepositFiles )
I could not help making a little videoclip of it, cause the lyrics are tragic and ironic
at the same time, so here it is:
Hey, I know it's just another Windows Movie Player project, but on my slow
computer nothing else works...
And I had to say, I use mainly the ZX-Spectrum movies from YouTube, cause
recording the MSX-version fails, it could record no more video than 28 seconds...
On YouTube you can see and listen the whole ZX-Spectrum version,
I must say the MSX-1 is graphics not much better.
Side 1 Part 1
Side 2 Part 1
I even created an MSX package of this very original game (released in 1984 !),
with more stuff and a Spanish MSX version of the game, lucky for me the audio-tape
was still in English...
You can find the package at Depositfiles and Mediafire
One of the makers of the game: Mel Croucher is still working on Deus Ex Machina 2,
check out it's nice designed website (and lot's of stuff from the first Deus Ex Machina).
Have fun, and play the game once more...
