Spectrum Computing

Any more suggestions? So far machine types, Elite ranks and user customisable. Juan, was your game characters idea a final one to include or something to improve on? I'll start a poll tomorrow. Well, I talked about include famous characters, not necesarily the same ones WoS chose... , maybe we must...

For Mastertronic - Curse Of Sherwood and Feud were by John Smyth at Words And Pictures. In fact, he did all the cartoon-like inlays for that label and its imprints. Mark Brady (also Words And Pictures) was the artist who did science-fiction style covers. It seems there were other artists from Words...

I started a thread in WoS some weeks ago about cover artists. Their great work sometimes wasn't properly remembered in many cases. So it would be a good idea to add the artist name to its corresponding entry in the DB. Sometimes the info is in the instructions, sometimes in an article in a blog, in ...

Just tried it. It's a nice game. And a cool loading screen!

I'm sure I've played the game of number 5, but I can't remember!

Hi there. Have you tried the advanced search on the right hand side? Ooops! That right! I was only watching the single field! :oops: That answers my question. Thanks! And now another suggestion set out in WoSF some years ago that worked there for some time: https://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/di...

Rally X. The arcade game is bloody addictive.

doo-do-de-dooo. doo.de.do-de-do-de-dooo. Bip..bip.bip.bip.bip

Sabre Wulf?

(I didn't know what you were talking about but I did a YouTube search and found an ad with that music...)

... for the search engine if they're not implemented yet! When I type in 'Ultimate Play the Game', what I get is: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=96&id=11391 but I'd have liked the complete list of games released by Ultimate. In this entry, if I click on the publisher name, I get t...

And Choplifter, another great arcade I played a lot back then:

Monster Bash. One of my fave arcade games. A funny plattform game featuring Dracula, Frankenstein & Chameleon Man.



I don't think this game was converted to the Spectrum. If so, please tell me RIGHT NOW!

Thanks!

Is it possible to display some sort of statistics about what people search in SC? It already exists?

I mean, the most searched game in general, by genre, by year...

Just asking!

'Icon' doesn't mean 'the best' or 'quality'. They are games that people remember for any good reason. There some games better than, say, Jet Set Willy (Dynamite Dan 1 or 2, IMHO). But Jet Set Willy was one of the first. In fact, from the list in the first post, every games is from 1983-84. Only Matc...

A simple UDG game, nice to play.

A similar game, Styx by Matthew Smith is another enjoyable game to take it into account.

Thanks for the link. Really impressive stuff!

Jumping Jack or River Raid screens are amazing! I think both games needed improved ones...

My vote for game characters, in old WoS style: Sabreman, Jet Set Willy, Monty Mole, ... and Fred.

Yes, Fred would be a good rank!

9 - Gilligan's Gold?

Reversi by Sinclair Research is another nice surprise back in the day. I used to play it a lot. Quite addictive.

Hurrah! The first quiz!!! (and the first answer! -Ed)

2 - Terra Cresta?

I once wrote an article for the Gamesark.it web magazine about the 15 worst and best coin-op conversions for the Spectrum. Even if you don't understand Italian, you will surely recognize the titles I mentioned ;) http://www.gamesark.it/mostra_speciale.asp?c=2210201120001778936&a=0&f=1&s...

Speaking of Frogger clones, I remember a cute type-in game, El Barman , where you must cross a crowded avenue to serve your clients. It was not too long to type in, and it was the first BASIC game I've came across. Maybe a bit off-topic as we are talking about the best games, but this is a cute, not...

Amazing!

Any Cassette 50 game that is worth playing it?

Just asking...

My fave is Indiana Jones y el Idolo de Oro ( I. Jones and the Golden Idol ) is the first game that comes to my mind. Published as a type-in game in Microhobby magazine, it was hard to type in, but unlike other similar type-in games, it was worth typing it. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?c...
