The best Speccy game by Work Force: discussion

[PeteProdge]

Another obscure software label from the early 1980s. A huge chunk of their output is MIA. They also made a lot of utilities and applications, they started out with the ZX81 market, but these polls are all about the ZX Spectrum games.

I've come up with nine tangible ZX Speccy games from Work Force, some of which would raise the eyebrow of a copyright lawyer...

Base Invaders
Do Not Pass Go
High Noon
Jaws Revenge
Spectrum Scramble
Traceon
Triplex
Winged Avenger, The
Yahtzi

As usual, additions and advice welcome.

Ah, High Noon, cute game, one of the first I've ever played on a Spectrum!



And Jaws Revenge, whose inlay is one of the weirdest:

Loved High Noon!

A huge chunk of their output is MIA.

Perhaps we could organise a crowdfunder to dig up the back garden of its palatial HQ, and film the excavation for an Atari: Game Over-style documentary to be broadcast on Dave?

That scene sums up what was great about early Eighties gaming. The TM-ignoring, copyright infringing, DIY ethos of many a little home-grown software house.

High Noon is the only one I remember but I remember it fondly!
