The page for Rally Cross ( https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/4 ... ally_Cross ) links to the Crash review of Rally Cross Simulator, a different game.

Are there any games suspected of doing this? It would be fun to do an investigation.

Dan Dare 3?

I've got a vague memory of reading that this is a bug in the game.

Maybe someone else can shed more specific light.

Scuba Dive?

God no! I've watched the video. There seems to be a particular section where you have to get past an enemy, and it seems it's only possible because of a glitch, and you have to time it correctly down to the millisecond.

IMHO most Speccy games were far too hard to complete, at least for me. The only ones I've ever completed are the really easy ones like Harrier Attack. Whever I played a game, I never set out with the intention of completing any as I always assumed it would be far too difficult and stressful. I can i...

StreetFighter?

I've just done a diff of the root pages, and apart from the word Gov being replaced with Amstrad, and a few id's being different, the only real difference I could see was that it's loading script from pagead2.googlesyndication.com and googletagmanager.com. So maybe they're just getting enough ad rev...

Fwiw I hate domain squatters. Have you ever tried finding a free relevant domain name that's not something like rschhddhzzz.com since that's all that's left. The person who has it has turned it into a link farm with a message like 'Make me an Offer' at the top. Basically trying to get money for no e...

Well guessed! That game didn't seem to get any reviews from any magazine?

Some of those faces look like they're straight out of Soft & Cuddly!

Great image, but can I check if I've missed some contextual news item?

Firelord?

Benny Hill?

Popeye?

Yup, certainly is.

Nope.

It's from the loading screen.

Nope.

Here's a quickie, a cropped image.

Thanks for finding that, I knew I'd read it somewhere.

Rock Star Ate My Hamster?

Commando was the first non-educational game my parents bought me back in the day, so that and Keith Burkhill will always be etched in my memory. I seem to remember G&G getting pretty good reviews BITD, but Space Harrier was always going to be a challenging conversion; without all the physical ha...

I knew it'd be really easy.

This might be really easy or really hard.
