Re: The best Speccy game by Mastertronic's brands: discussion
Rifle Range holds such great memories for me. A game I can remember my Mum and Dad actually having a go on. I mean, the game itself is the epitome of budget, but it still holds a special place.

That's curious, but of all these huge lot of games, I only played Speed King 2 back in the day.
Only thanks to Internet I could know the Finders Keepers saga or a interesting and cool darts game that is 180 (great 128K music). Or others like Feud, Agent X, Kane, Amaurote, ...
There's no other company with so many 'unplayed' games back in the day. Weird.

Speed King 2 is a really strange one... it's a sequel to a game that was only released on the C64, but the sequel was only released on the Spectrum. The original Speed King on the C64 is a sort of conversion of Full Throttle for the Spectrum, both written by Mervyn Estcourt, who also wrote Death Chase on the spectrum. Both Death Chase and Full Throttle were published by Micromega on the Spectrum.Juan F.

However, Speed King 2 on the Spectrum was written by Derek Brewster, who also had a few Spectrum games published by Micromega - Codename Mat, Jasper among others.
