Re: RIP F David Thorpe
Such a sad loss. That Head over Heels screen is just a thing of beauty. So much colour and it just screams fun.

Great game. Got to level 7 and then my brain melted, so I stopped.

This is a great game. Bit like a less frantic Starquake.

Re: Guess the screen$
Yep, indeed it was. And, for some odd reason I really like the game so this is from the game as opposed to the Loading Screen.

Re: any suggestion for a good portable device that can play zx spectrum games?
I use Fuse on my old jailbroken Playstation Portable it's great, but obviously it's no good for text adventures as it only has an on-screen keyboard.

I always remember when Steve Wright was on in the afternoon on Radio 1 and he'd have some voice-over guy saying 'chaka demus and his arc welder'. I've no idea why but that really used to tickle me

Re: Head Over Heels (Next)
Only just got round to playing this and with the original being one of my all time favourite games I was apprehensive as to how faithful to the original it would be. I'm glad to see that this version is excellent and, to me, it feels like a genuine 'updated' version of the Speccy classic. Brilliant ...

Re: Guess the screen$
It looks like it should be from the Official Mary Poppins game, but thankfully there never was one. Imagine the 48k Speccy spewing out a sampled version of Dick VanDick's god awful Cockerney Accent

Re: First tape/games you got with your ZX Spectrum
My 48k came with the now legendary Horizon tape and the Sinclair Six Pack ( scrabble, horace goes skiing, chequered flag, make a chip, survival & Chess). On the same day we picked the Speccy up from Boots ( yes kids you used to be able to buy computers from a chemists 🤣), I also bought Luna Crab...

Re: The best playable demo of a full price game on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
How come Trantor: The last stormtrooper isn’t on the list? This was one of my all time favourite playable demo’s even if it was just to watch the intro sequence with the amazing tune.

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Fergus McNeil): vote
I’ve only played one game from this list but it was an absolute classic., and classic was ‘Bored of the Rings’. From the moment I was presented with text that said ‘then, spurring his black mount, he emitted one great and sour fart…..’ I knew I was in good company!

Re: DenOfGeek : The games that defined the Spectrum
For me one of the games that defines the Speccy is Wanted:Monty Mole. I know it was multi-platform but when it was released it was one of the games that everyone wanted (pun fully intended). At the local computer club our 1hr allotted time in the high cool canteen was spent making as many copies of ...
