Re: Speccy homecomings
I love the fact that efforts have been made to bring these Speccy heroes home. Mystic Woods & Perils are the first & only 2 other examples that spring to mind for me.

Eddie Kid outsold Jetpac by over four and a half thousand!!
That dreadful FA Cup game was inexplicably popular. I can't believe how many releases it had & how many it sold.

Re: Something I noticed about Renegade 3
Yeah, you may have a point, Renegade/Target Renegade set the bar so high, that amazing artwork in the ads, then to cap it all that utterly shameless Crash review set expectations to a colossal level. Had it have been a budget game with nothing to do with the series, called "Time Punk" then...

Re: The best playable demo of a full price game on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
It's odd, there's 3 games there where I have definite memories of playing the absolute heck out of the demos & really enjoying them, but never getting the full game (19, Skate Crazy & Mad Mix)
All 3 I got to play through emulation years later & was pretty disappointed with.

Re: First tape/games you got with your ZX Spectrum
Christmas '83 it came with Horizons and we got Pool, Hunchback and Football Manager. Played all 3 to death, still love Pool & FM, have a bit of a love/hate thing with Hunchback.
