Now that you have a fully restored 128K, you should try TIRATOK by deMarche, a demo from 2019 that I'm still in disbelief that it's possible on real hardware (I know it is, but it's too damn impressive):

Also worth trying on real hardware is "Aliens: Neoplasma", also from 2019. That and "SkyNet: Road to 1984" from last year. These two games really show how alive the Spectrum scene is, and they are honestly good games.

It appears to be for all original(ish) Z80 dies in any packaging, but not for the improved eZ80.

In the case of Asteroids (never tried Star Castle) none of the emulators that I'm using allow using a spinner.

  This was more a thought experiment of what the UX might be like if it was possible. I am not even sure it would give an advantage or even be practical. I am certain there is no code that translates spinner position to left/right rotation.
