Re: Game Of The Year 2023 Final Vote

I think that Seraphima and Wycheweald are awesome games and they deserve to be amongst the best of the year. I'm myself a small part of the team of Speccy Soccer and that third place makes me quite happy. That and also knowing that so many people played it and liked it. Thanks to all those who relea...

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Jullian Gollop): discussion

In my humble opinion, Chaos must be the #1 in the list of overrated and overestimated games for the Speccy, or maybe second place after Match Day.

It will probably win this poll but there are much better games that should be praised like the masterpiece Laser Squad and the Rebelstar Games too.

Re: Dopamine hits - moments in Spectrum gaming that give you immense satisfaction

After so many tries, killing those pesky flamethrowers and therefore completing Green Beret for the first time in my life. Just a few weeks ago (I've been playing the game since the 80's :D :D :D )

Yeah, that's what I try in many cases, but looking at the map could be considered a minor spoiler (or not so minor when maps include the ending screen)

Number of levels

First of all, I'm sorry if I'm asking a silly question. I'm not very familiar with ZXDB and I have a limited knowledge about the columns of each entry on the database. The thing is I've wondered for a long time why there is no information about the number of levels a game has. I've checked a few gam...

Bodies like Nemesis the Warlock

I've just seen a video showing Nemesis the Warlock where the enemies corpses don't disappear and you can stack them up. That option is quite cool. I had played the game before but now it made me think that there is not that many games with that feature. My question: do you know more Spectrum games w...
