Re: The Speccy Arcade 100

I rate Typhoon above Flying Shark, it is Flying Shark + (with elements of Gryzor thrown, i.e. the change of perspectives to give variety).

Re: What's the worst Speccy arcade conversion of a good game?

Another vote for KFM. Things like porting SF2 on the speccy were unrealistic. I was thinking of Slap Fight too, those bullets man...could have been so much better. Likewise KFM, the arcade was good and simple compared to the previous examples so should have done much better.

Re: Formula One - its steering wheel

I tried using a roll of sellotape, didn't work, surprise surprise. Probably because it was a 48k + keyboard! :lol: IIRC, the steering keys were next to each other, if they were separated by a single key even, then it might have worked better as the roll could rest in the dead zone and not have to 'h...

Re: The Speccy Arcade 100

Can't wait for the top 30 as the recent additions of Ikari Warriors, MOTOS, SOLOMON'S KEY, POWER DRIFT & BUGGY BOY (128K) would be a lot higher :)

Re: Why do pictures stop working on this forum?

I can see here and in the link - using firefox 94.0.1.

Maybe clear your browser cache with the likes of ccleaner?

Re: The Speccy Arcade 100

Do you have a link to Rygar GT? Can't find anything on google! Yes Rygar was a decent port but had flaws, but it was up against it as the arcade was very busy and well programmed for the time. Something I kept going back to after playing the arcade and the speccy did enough to keep the levels lookin...

Re: The Speccy Arcade 100

I always thought space harrier on te speccy was BETTER than the arcade! The arcade is just too cluttered and spoils the gameplay.

Let's see: Big Ben Strikes Again looks like a good bet.

Mainly because I'm reasonably sure that there were briefcase-shaped enemies that were supposed to resemble the Chancellor's budget case (which had the initials NL on it)
Correct! Well done. :geek:
