Good guesses but not right.

Okay, let's go.

That'll be Rygar then. I'm glad that's over because this was one's familiarity was bugging me. Not that I was going to get it without that big clue.

I'm happy to post the next one but I feel like it's XTM's win!

Terramex?

Tau Ceti. Man, one of those games that I just didn't 'get' but wish I did because so many people seem to love it.

This'll probably do it.

Probably best not to try a 3DS as then you have to check closely which version of firmware it has compared to what version of R4 card you're using, as it's smarter at blocking attempts to hack it. And they're not as cheap as an old DS anyway. And the 3DS-XL has a different resolution on the top scr...

I got that Dixon's collection with my next Speccy. It was a +2A. It came with that and a bunch of games as part of a '100 games' collection that didn't have 100 games and the only good one was Angleball.

Nope. It's a tough one this as not many of us liked the game!

Swell!

Is it Wulfan?

I very nearly got a C16 too, because I knew we had very little money and it was the cheapest option. Even when I started to unwrap it on Christmas Day I thought it was a C16. A Speccy was beyond my wildest dreams (and my mum's bank balance - she got it on HP and it took ages to pay off) Kerry Katon...

Oh my! I vaguely remember Merlin and just knowing that there was no way it'd be playable with that massive sprite.

There it is!

Not Super Gran.




Again, not much extra detail from this zoom out so I'll post again today. The next one should give it away.

No. A bit more violent this one.

Nope!

I voted for Ikari Warriors. I played that demo through a bunch of times but oddly didn't really enjoy the full game.

The perspective on this game is pretty horrible. This is actually a top down game!

Dixons Spectrum+ bundle, Christmas 1985. In descending order of how often I loaded them: Horace Goes Skiing Chequered Flag Starion Planetoids Scrabble Reversi Chess Survival Make-A-Chip VU-3D No Horizons tape, but there was a Spectrum+ guide which included a sideways Breakout/Thro The Wall clone an...

It's a minor zoom out so I'll update again today
