Zorro for me.
I played it during the 80s, it has its own charm and atmosphere, which I like.
One of my favorite Spanish games.

Saturday 12th September 1987, around closing time. It's memorable to me as it was my first day in the computer shop I worked in, and the first thing I bought with my 'wages'.stupidget wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:02 pmGo then!DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 1:54 pm Zynaps got my vote, possibly the only game I could tell you the day and date of purchase still.

It was a lot of fun, I was there 10 years part time in the end up until I graduated, probably the period of time I'm most nostalgic for, especially because indie game stores are virtually non existent now. I keep meaning to write it up like 'Acts of Gord'.stupidget wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:38 pmWorking in a computer shop.....in the 80’s?!?!?!

My vote went for Zorro. It was the game I played more of the lot. A game with some original puzzles.
For me Zorro is an interesting game with a potential but I'm put off by the too simplistic graphics as for 1986.Zorro for me.
This is a game that could really have a remake, similar to those in the recent compo.

Never played it back in the day, but is Ubi's Zombi the predecessor to Zombi U on Wii U? By about 25 years...?

Yup. The very same. Originated on the CPC.DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 10:21 pm Never played it back in the day, but is Ubi's Zombi the predecessor to Zombi U on Wii U? By about 25 years...?

Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.
