Spectrum Computing

My 48k came with the now legendary Horizon tape and the Sinclair Six Pack ( scrabble, horace goes skiing, chequered flag, make a chip, survival & Chess). On the same day we picked the Speccy up from Boots ( yes kids you used to be able to buy computers from a chemists 🤣), I also bought Luna Crab...

How come Trantor: The last stormtrooper isn’t on the list? This was one of my all time favourite playable demo’s even if it was just to watch the intro sequence with the amazing tune.

I’ve only played one game from this list but it was an absolute classic., and classic was ‘Bored of the Rings’. From the moment I was presented with text that said ‘then, spurring his black mount, he emitted one great and sour fart…..’ I knew I was in good company!

Midnight Resistance?

Is it a fighty punchy game?

For me one of the games that defines the Speccy is Wanted:Monty Mole. I know it was multi-platform but when it was released it was one of the games that everyone wanted (pun fully intended). At the local computer club our 1hr allotted time in the high cool canteen was spent making as many copies of ...

1 - Starquake. Like others have stated, this was/is, one of the absolute classic Speccy games.

Wow, I didn’t even know this was possible. Just in the process of building a bit of a permanent setup for my NEXT and really looking forward to trying this out. Does it work on Deathchase?

Yeah I can see those images on my iPhone and Macbook now.

Weird thing is that I can see images in the ‘Guess the Screen’ thread but nothing in this thread. Looks like it just when I view this thread on my iphone, on my macbook its fine.

Yeah me too:



Started a couple of days ago.

Heartland?

1 - Scuba Dive - I remember being utterly amazed at the animation of the shark when I first played this. It was one of those ‘how can graphics get any better than this’ moments :-) 2 - Turbo Esprit - No Turbo Esprit = No GTA. A genuinely groundbreaking game. 3 - Thanatos - Giant Dragons, what’s not ...

@worcestersource my post was going to be exactly the same as yours. Loved Captain Blood, but, also had no idea what I was doing.

Never heard of Purple Saturn Day either.

We have ourselves a WINNER
