Spectrum Computing

I think everyone needs to be very careful here. Much mud slinging has taken place over an extended period of time - and in my humble opinion it is now time to stop. This is not aimed at anyone specifically, but to everyone - Please, please, please think before you type - and use your common sense! ...

No that's not right. (Now you mention it, I should have put that one in the list, but I'm afraid I didn't.)

The first answer, and the first... no!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I give you the inaugural Spectrum Computing quiz!

Name the games in which the following 12 items of treasure appear.

(And since MatGubbins is hanging around here... leave some clues for everyone else!)



Sorry if they are a bit blurry.

I quite like the current ranks. I'm hoping if I post enough drivel I can be the first to rise above Berkdom!

I have a soft spot for Games 5 (Star Trail):

It was a simple Star Trek clone and only the second Spectrum game I'd ever played, but on Christmas Day 1982 it seemed magical.

The Spectrum was not lucky as to Donkey Kong clones, definitely! I'm still hoping someone will take up the challenge of a decent Donkey Kong conversion. I remember someone (redballoon?) made some superb mock-ups a short while back. I'd love to see them made into a game. I'm not volunteering, though...

Not on the mobile site.

I've gone from being Rorthron the Wise to Rorthron the Berk!

Probably more accurate....

These are all masterpieces, compared to the conversions we got in 1982. I challenge anyone to find one worse than Krazy Kong:

Or shall we just not do this here? I'd really rather we didn't. We don't want SC to turn into a place to slag off WoS or the Vega. The forum guidelines, and the whole drive of Spectrum Computing is to set a positive tone. I dont think we need to close threads here, I think this should be a place wh...

I can probably just about squeeze it in between the all-night Balachor hackathons.

If I came up with a few clues, would you be interested in running another cryptic quiz?

Hello, all.
