The best Speccy game by ASP Software: discussion

Post by PeteProdge »

The final part of the Argus Press empire that I have to cover!

This is a weird one.

My list is this...

Cells And Serpents
Conquering Everest
Demon Knight
Detective
Fall Of Rome, The
Pentacube
Stock Market
Strategy 1 - Invasion
Valley, The
White Barrows, The

Now, at the end, there should be the game ZX Reactor, a 16K game. However, there's no screenshot in the listing, which usually means it's a MIA game.

The thing is, it's not explicitly listed as a missing game. Even the Other Place doesn't label it as such.

Hmm... does it exist?

And also, have I got the rest of the list right?

Yes it's a MIA, as is Spectrum Zap. They're both from this MIA compilation that isn't marked as MIA here, but is at WoS.

The Valley is a great little game, Demon Knight is a good, if quite basic text adventure, I used to enjoy Stock Market when I was younger and I vaguely remember playing Detective and The Fall Of Rome.

I think all of the above that I played were on a 30 games compilation that Argus Press released.

Odd...in the Zx App it is listed as MIA.
