Complete release list

[Theretrochief]

Basically, I have seen someone's rom list of games. But there's so much crap in there it's ridiculous. I want to see a list of only games that were officially released in the U.K. as standalone titles. No cover tapes, no self coded, nothing foreign, not multiple listings of the same thing. I want to refine his list using this to only offer things that I could have realistically played when I was a kid. I can then go through this, fire them up and find the ones I knew and make a new favourites list to enjoy them all over again.
Screenshots would be good too as would be able to recognise things without having to play them, but not a deal breaker.

[Theretrochief]

Firelord maybe?

Nope, but again another I'd forgotten about. Cheers!

I've got a feeling it may have been more towards sci-fi rather than fantasy. It's possible you could have been a little ship flying around rather than a person walking.

I'm looking for a complete list of official, published games that were available in the U.K. I'm not interested in home brews, magazine games or anything released the spectrum was no longer officially supported

Interesting criteria, especially considering how blurred the lines between "homebrew" and "commercial" titles were, especially in the early days.

"No self-coded" made me grin too.

Hi, [mention]Theretrochief[/mention] , maybe one of these is the one you're looking for?

Tantalus?



Strontium Dog?



Or maybe NOMAD?

Fair point, but I guess I'd have only been able to have things that enjoyed full releases through publishers/software houses rather than entirely self published/small scale releases. I also can't imagine it would have been super early. I would guess mid-80s onwards and pre-90s

We're getting close with Tantalus. But not quite. I think there were distinct zones with different style scenery

Starquake?

Starquake?

Equinox?

[Theretrochief]

Not familiar with Starquake or Equinox unfortunately

On the Run

Project Future? You sounded pretty sure it was a top down view.

[Theretrochief]

No to the last couple. Graphics were more adventurous/had greater detail than that.

Keep them coming though, finding some long-forgotten titles I'd played is great!!

[RWAC]

Terminus which I think was the sequel to Tantalus




Cybernoid




Doomskulle. I know you said it wasn't a covertape game but it has that Sabre Wulf look.

If you just want a spreadsheet I can do that for you from the database that [mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] created which powers this site and others.

If Cruelman was dead, we'd hear him spinning in his grave.

They've missed out the all important "by" Mirrosoft too. A travesty.

Good call. Got to be Doomskulle. I'll wager a tenner. Back of the net.

[Theretrochief]

Alas, no. Not Doomskulle or any of the others, but wow...what a rip off of Sabre Wulf!!

Yes please, that would be most appreciated!

Seriously man, get it downloaded now! Probably the best Spectrum game ever (apart from Zythum by Mirrorsoft of course).

OK, will pull something together over the bank holiday.

[Juan F. Ramirez]

My advice, @retrochief, is go to this web's main page, use the advanced search (searching by genre or company) and enjoy!

You can even use a 'random title' option!

[Morkin]

Nah, it's more fun to keep guessing...!

Rescue



Willow Pattern



Universal Hero

[RWAC]

Scumball




Robin of the Wood




Curse of Sherwood
