I know, that's why I enjoy it even more!

B.C. Bill by Imagine, this game is brilliant, It's fun, funny, addictive and just a joy to play, bonk the birds over the head, take them to your man-cave, bonk them in another way to produce kids and feed the blighters till they're ready to live their own lives, but beware, some of those prehistoric...

Couldn't get past screen 5 back in the day but now easy peasy and usually no lives lost, all levels are robotic in their movements, once you learn their patterns you'll find it a rather easy game. Here's my little no-death run vid if interested, contains commentary so there may be a few little tips ...

Well years after I recorded the video "20 Amiga games you need to play" when you first own an Amiga, I finally got round to doing a ZX Spectrum one. Obviously these are my own personal choices but I'm sure you'll agree there's some real crackers in this video, I hope you enjoy it :P 20 ZX ...

It's time for a brand new "💩 Game Time" game review 👍. This time I'll be playing and Shit-rating "Double Dragon" on the ZX Spectrum. This is a paid request by youtuber "Staffano Perachi" who has asked me to pick a ZX game myself to be flushed into the vault of shitness ...

Steve Crow was interviewed in issue 72 of Retro Gamer. Short version - went to the US, worked with Shiny, ended up at Blizzard working on World of Warcraft. https://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,1896/ No sorry, I meant how did he get Rod's email? He needs to finish the DDII gam...

I know some links about Rod Bowkett. Yesterday I emailed him and gave him a link to this post. He replied to me a couple of hours ago: "Lovely to hear that 40 years later my games are still played." Hint about the answer - he's a composer. Maybe he will write himself. How did you get his ...

This sadly seemed to pass many players radars back in the day, the game I'm talking about is Impossaball, the gameplay is top notch and is really challenging, anyone else played this beauty? I managed to complete it (just once as I've now retired from it whilst on top lol), here's my video if anyone...

Nice little thread on the Forum right now asking what game/s would you like to complete without cheats, so I decided to create a thread asking the opposite, what ZX games are you most proud of completing without cheats/pokes? No more than 10 as there are tons of very short easy ZX games that can eas...

Inspired by @zeusdaz completing Dynamite Dan II, I got to thinking about other Speccy games I've always wanted to complete. The ones I most want to do are as follows: Trap Door (in Super Berk mode) - I know what I have to do, and have come close, but always run out of time. Herbert's Dummy Run &...

Wow, that's great, well done! DDII is my favourite Speccy platformer but I've never got beyond island 4. I must try harder. I haven't watched the video for fear of spoilers, but I was always under the impression that DDII doesn't have an end sequence. Am I right in thinking it just takes you back t...

I just had to post this, I finally completed Dan II without cheats and man am I happy!
I hope you enjoy the full longplay, it contains full commentary, recorded on my 128k Toastrack.

Hi, I just wanted to share this as I'm really over the moon with it, It's my WR speedrun of 5m52s on Bruce Lee recorded using my the ZX Spectrum 128k+1 toastrack, it is officially recognised on the Speedrunner.com website

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and hope I will get chatting with many of you in the near future through either these forums or my Youtube channel. (my appologies for posting this twice, it was a mistake, I'm new and learn...
