Ahhh, an old favorite of mine. For just £ 1.99, or Lit. 5000 if you lived here, Feud provided you with a nice maze/collect title, which unfortunately became too easy when you understood that just by collecting every spell ingredient whilst avoiding Leanoric and Hieke, the gardener, and then hitting ...

I liked the first and third chapters of the series, very good value for money. The second chapter seemed rather boring to me however.

Judging from what I read from various sources, many of those who still use, even occasionally, real hardware own such interfaces. My games from Seto Taisho Vs Yokai on have been designed with the DivIDE/DivMMC in mind. First I emulated it through a CF card and SpecEmu, then a couple of years ago I p...

Speaking of more recent titles, Pandemia is also worth trying in my opinion.

For me, it was the covertape which came with the December 1988 issue of SU, with Finders Keepers, Spellbound and Knight Tyme. I loaded that tape so many times, it's a miracle it still works.

I was a reader of SU from 1987, when I casually found it available in my home city in a newsagents that also sold foreign magazines. I enjoyed it thoroughly and still have quite fond memories of it, especially because Italian computer and videogames mags were dominated by C64 stuff at the time. Howe...

Hi everyone, I just found this forum and decided to join in!

I have been a proud Spectrum user since January 1984, wrote a 702-pages book about it, and every now and then produce some games to boot.

Cheers!
