Re: Devfinitive Edition (David Reidy): discussion

@PeteProdge this is basically the Microsphere poll again. I believe David Reidy owned Microsphere which is why his entire output was for them and no other software company.

There's 2.99 Classics, which was another Elite imprint. There was also Summit, an offshoot of Alternative.

It was a toss up between Think and Toadrunner for third spot, I really wanted to like Toadrunner due to it being the spiritual successor to Riddler's Den, but it just seems to be lacking something.

Re: Using A.I to recreate ZX Spectrum loading screens.

I believe that the picture with the reporter, big cat and dead sheep may be The Beast from Marlin games? I also don't think I'm alone in thinking that Disney/Pixar have missed a trick in not making films based on Spectrum games :D . If only the Speccy had been the biggest selling computer across the...

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Mike Singleton): discussion

For what it's worth, I think you should keep the type-ins in. After all, these polls are about voting for a developer's complete body of work. I also think this should apply to any of the complete games that have were unreleased but have since been recovered as well.

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

Successfully doing the flying neck chop in Barbarian and lopping off your opponents head, the sight of the goblin kicking his head along as it drags his body off the screen is a humorous touch.

Finally getting games with finicky loaders to actually load - The Rats, I'm looking at you.
