Nope!

Yeah I knew it right away but I'm not sure how I can remember this sort of thing and then forget key life information. I've not seen that sprite in action in years, maybe decades!

Anyway... Here's a tricksy one maybe.

Got a feeling it might be a tricky one, but you never know with these things...

Future Games?

1. Beach Head
2. Raid
3. Tapper


I didn't rate Enduro Racer at all.

Scumball?

1. Quazatron. Still enjoyable today.
2. Ranarama.
3. Ivan.


How did Magnetron get a vote? Game's a lemon.

Today I learned that it was a different Steve who made Firelord and Starquake.

1 - TLL 2 - Deflektor 3 - Cyclone Another controversial view by me is that I really wasn't a fan of Alien Highway or Highway Encounter!! They looked great, but I just found them far too annoying to br fun. Same. Never got anything from them apart from frustration. 1 - Cyclone 2 - Deflektor That's i...

Rebelstar when you equip different weapons.

But then, a 4-minute game is still short. A better field would just be the shortest known completion time, then you could search for however long or short you wanted. A lot more work though. Figuring out the shortest completion times for every game and then recording that info. 3 mins is deffo too ...

Ah yes, I posted it on the old forum - https://worldofspectrum.org/forums/discussion/51687/

Bugaboo definitely the winner!

I've done this thread before I think and from memory Jack and the Beanstalk is what made me start it.

Although it takes your life to master it, I figure the game is beatable in three mins.

I think I prefer JSW over MM. I never got anywhere near beating it but when I played it, I'd just go off in one direction and just explore. It felt like such a massive game at the time. The good thing though is that even if certain rooms were impossible for you, you could just leave or avoid them. I...

Some great games in there but Renegade wins for me as it is the game I still play today. Target Renegade was good but too easy and the weapons were pointless. Also, the music was good but just didn't fit the action.

I'd put Green Bert second and Hyper Sports third.

A great fit for this would be a Chaos style strategy game where each robot form has different attributes based on the original tech specs and a bit of additional info. So for example in robot form might only have a movement speed of 1 but in plane mode he's a 9. Things like courage could work like t...

Time Flight?

Some of his level design remains though but fair enough. I'm surprised that someone just rewrote all that code.

Shouldn't JSW2 be in there? I mean it's his game engine and half his levels.

Rebelstar 1 and 2 kind of steal votes from each other. Combined they are his best work.

Very close indeed!

Rebelstar 2
Chaos
Rebelstar

They've just released Renegade: Retribution. It's the 16th sequel to Renegade and, like all of them, it's not as good as the original.

Truth! Your turn.

Somebody reminded me of the game earlier in the thread. Proper 1.99 special that one.
