Re: MIAs bought today

The Abbex tapes... interesting stuff. Among them, Cosmos, a game by Costa Panayi from 1982, maybe his first work for the Spectrum! 8-)

Re: Guess the game from the review (Spectrum 2.0)

Ok, ok, here I go! " The weaker parts are the first and the last - the first being a boring exercise in keypressing, the last an annoying phase where you have to hit the cooling robot from behind with some bouncing explosive disks. The game fares much better in the intermediate shooter sections...

Re: Games with their own "Airwolf Wall"

First screen of Raid Over Moscow was another example. I think this made many people not appreciate the game better.

Re: Inlays viewer

Hi pavero ! From the update of last 13 april (Creative Sparks) I just noticed that in the entry of Danger Mouse in Making Whoopee: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=96&id=1248 The inlay (front) is incorrect, as it's the inlay from Black forest Chateau. The proper inlay is missing.

Re: spectrum20.org

I've just noticed that every entry now includes 'User Reviews (formerly Spectrum 20)' link in other sites section, with all the reviews from spectrum20.org.

It's amazing! Thanks to the people who made it possible and recovered the old site to be integrated it in SC!

Without checking data, I would say one of those re-released companies, like Alternative. They published tons of games.

Re: How did your ZX Spectrum die?

At the beginning of the 90s the keyboard membrane of my Spectrum + failed again (the first time was less than one year of purchasing but it was replaced). It was during the MSDOS years, and the first Spectrum emulators, so I forgot my beloved Speccy till only 2-3 years ago, when I buy a new membrane...

I voted for Who Dares Wins II, one of the most underrated games for the Spectrum.

1 Who Dares Wins II
