Spectrum Computing

Am i right in saying Cult and D&H games released games sent in by programmers rather than being written in house?

Software House, despite it being slightly buggy and i always go bankrupt quickly. On the bench is another good one, strangely playable even after you win everything. Played Striker but that had a habit resetting when it went to the animated section. Was rubbish anyway.

Too late to vote but i'd pick Football Director. I tried the snooker one but it was boring and nearly sent me into a coma.

I couldn't get past level 1.

Almost anything released by Dinamic. Especially Army and Navy Moves.

Saboteur 1 & 2.

It's been many years since i played it but does Enterprise have a kind of hyperlink feature when you choose which planet to travel to?

This may have been mentioned earlier but in the game Street Gang by Players you can just jump through all the screens and complete the game in 5 minutes

Blue Ribbon were poor. Can't remember anything decent from them, not that they released much. Tynesoft were poor as well but they've already been mentioned already a few times. Power House was another label that never seemed to do well. Another one was Zeppelin, i can't remember playing anything hal...

A Faerie 2 was planned but either unfinished or never released.

I've only ever played HRH never got past the scene with someone driving a lawnmower. I always died at that point. It was quite amusing at the time but half the characters are now dead.

I think teleporting was used in Rasterscan (not sure that's been mentioned yet).

Yeah but what can you expect from the Spectrum? I think the pictures were digitised.

Haha! I remember being at school and all the guys wet into overdrive when this came out (we were 11 years old). Someone brought in a review at the time. I never played it till emulation years later (research reasons!)

There's a section in Curse of Sherwood where you teleport to a different part of the map.

I went for Rex. I remember it had great explosions. Think i still have my original copy somewhere.

Think Game Over was more famous for it's rather risqué (for the time) advert. But the game isn't too bad.

Picked Contact Sam Cruise which i nearly completed.
Quite liked Hijack but it was very difficult to complete.

Was Summit owned by Alternative?

For years i thought i imagined that there was two Adrian Mole titles until i found them on emulation.
Might fire one up later on actually.

Hard to pick one, so many great titles but plumped for Back to Skool.
Others i like are Wheelie, Trapdoor, Andy Capp, The big sleaze, Wheelie, Skool Daze, Contact Sam Cruise, Yogi Bear and The two Adrian Mole titles amongst others.

My fave golf game was rge Amiga version of PGA European Golf. I've only played Leaderboard on the speccy but found it tooslow.

I'll need to check this out. I don't think it made much impact when originally released.

Hi zx1, so glad you're here. I've been here for a while now since my previous computer broke down and I lost the password and the email connected to the other side. How are you doing? I hope your health is getting better now. Yeah i'm fine at the moment. Got a new job so earning money again. Seems ...

I still have my first Speccy from 1987. I'll post pictures of it working.
