Rollback

RZX rollback is a feature introduced by the SPIN team, to help produce better walkthrough recordings.

If you get to a tight spot, just press a key to roll back to an earlier point, and continue recording.

As of version 0.8.0, The FUSE Emulator now also supports the recording of RZXs using rollback!

Spectaculator, from version 7.0 now supports rollback!


Is it cheating?
It would be if this were a competition site, like the Speccy Tour. The RZX Archive is a "demonstration" site, a way of showing walkthroughs of speccy games, which is what visitors to this site come to see.

I seriously doubt that this site would contain recordings of classic games such as Technician Ted and Auf Wiedersehen Monty, without the implementation of this feature. They are just too difficult to complete in one sitting, especially the former.

Even with rollback, completing games isn't always a walk in the park. It just makes the game 'do-able', even if it takes a few days. And it's great fun!
