Spectrum Computing

The raised track sequences of Power Drift are a bit confusing.

Now the same individual who voted for Big Trouble in Litte China in the Electric Dreams poll is voting for Howard the Duck in this one.
Must have been a harsh childhood.

I was excited when I saw the subjective view of the Atari St or Amiga version of GLF Championship Football and noticed that there was a Spectrum version listed. I wanted it very much to be good. Then, in emulation times, I finally could play it and... let's just say my vote goes to Barry McGuigan Wo...

1. Enduro Racer 2. Wonder Boy 3. Pitfall II: Lost Caverns Pitfall II is just a very frustrating piece of software with matchstick graphics, but all the time I've spent playing it until the end when I was a kid (and all the suffering that the effort required) somehow makes me fond of it. H.E.R.O. or ...

NEMESIS: MISSION ABORTED part II. To develop a winning tactic against the Blue Boss, I've started cheating, meaning that I've snapshotted the game, and fight the boss until I've learnt how to get past it. Then there was a open space sequence where I had to destroy swarms of green dandruff from the ...

NEMESIS: MISSION ABORTED part I. I've bumped by chance in some "Let's compare!" videos some days ago, comparing the 8 bit versions of Nemesis, this video by lisp equipped theshadownose and this one by ChinnyVision . So, I've started playing it again after years and in the meantime I've ch...

I don't see it in quite the same way as you—rather than being almost the finished article apart from a few defects, I see it as ever so slightly naff in all departments. Don't get me wrong though, I like it and think it's wayyy better than Salamander. Nemesis starts off good but most of the rest is...

I also tried Nemesis , after Mr. Cruel's suggestion. Not a bad shooter, but slow when choosing options and it's got no sounds (???) Title screen beeper tune and standard (poor) sound effects aside. Whenever I killed a flood of ships a yellow thing appears and I avoid it because I think it's another...

Nemesis [Konami, 1987] https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/pub/sinclair/screens/in-game/n/Nemesis.gif If it wasn't for the scandalous collision detection and other minor flaws, this could have been a very good horizontal shooter. As it is, it doesn't deserve the Sinclair User Classic it's got. Were the...

Which it's their only good game, if you ask me.

I'm puzzled by the vote to the sheer dullness of Big Trouble in Little China.

Nebulus deserved the victory.

I think I've played very briefly only a couple of these.

1) Karnov
2) Aliens
3) Spindizzy

1 - Into Africa
2 - Anarchy
3 - Draughts Genius

Lots of good stuff, of course, but my vote goes to Nebulus.

1 - Nebulus
2 - Zynaps
3 - Firelord

Another easy vote for me.

Target: Renegade's success will always remain a mystery to me.

Road Frog might have been OK if it weren't for the non-responsive keys, and the fact that you can't seem to hop backwards.

True, or at least I looked for a hop back key and I didn't find it.

Caterpilla - your run-of-the-mill Centipede clone Frenzy - Robotron 2084 kind of stuff with annoying presentation Monster Muncher - jerky Pac Man clone Road Frog - scarcely responsive Frogger clone Rocket Command - basic Defender clone with twisted choice of keys So 1- Monster Muncher is the most p...

This is the hardest poll. I don't know any of them.

This is harder than the Ocean poll for me.

1) Movie
2) WEC Le Mans
3) Arkanoid

4) Jumping Jack
5) Renegade
6) Legend of Kage

Great game. Spent hours playing it.

Spent seconds playing it. They felt like hours.

1) The Great Escape
2) Cobra
3) Head Over Heels

4) Robocop
5) Wizball
6) Where Time Stood Still
7) Match Day II
8) N.O.M.A.D.
9) Gift from the Gods
10) Match Day / International Match Day

err... why is Power Drift in the list?

Or like a night cap:



Or a mask with a sort of backhead tail.

Ora like a thief with a pantyhose on the head.
