Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
I never played Starglider and only just tried 3D Starstrike. In fact, the only 3D space games I think I had BITD were Codename Mat 1 & 2 on compilations and I thought they were quite boring TBH. Shame Realtime couldn’t have got the Star Wars license for Starstrike as it’s a fab version.

Excellent shooter
Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
You certainly got a lot for your money with Booty, especially if you had a Currah Microspeech.
Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
Cracking budget game, I think I remember this winning the "WoS world cup" of budget titles...
Simple but enjoyable gameplay. The only two 'features' that I wasn't keen on were the stuck-on-lift-with-parrot-flying-towards-you syndrome, and the way the collision detection favoured one side of the player sprite.
Wouldn't get into my top 100, but a decent game.

Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
I do love Booty and its 'sequel' (same gameplay, same author) Moonlight Madness, this time controlling a boy scout instead of a cabin boy. The rest is the same.

Now we're talking!
Good luck finding 27 better games!

Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
I'm now assuming the list is in random order because this is the best Speccy game ever made.
Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
My Gollop preference/order (this isn't my actual top 5 but all great games!):
1. Chaos
2. Laser Squad
3. Rebelstar
4. Rebelstar II
5. Lords of Chaos
1. Chaos
2. Laser Squad
3. Rebelstar

Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
I'd probably go
1 Rebelstar 2
2 Rebelstar
3 Lords of Chaos
4 Laser Squad
5 Chaos
I think Lords of Chaos is extremely underated. It does need a few more levels though. I'm also rating these as single player games as that's how I play them nowadays.
Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
I noticed that a couple of you had Rebelstar 2 avatars and therefore this would be your number one favourite game in your top 100 list of ZX Spectrum games, which I'm looking forward to seeing
Mind you, my avatar is Rex and he's languishing all the way down at number 62 on my list. He is one sexy rhinosapien though.

Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
As I see it's confession time, I must admit I've never played any Gollop game back in the day
Re: Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games
I've never enjoyed any pixel-perfect-jumping games like Manic Miner and family on the Speccy, or an other computer/console.Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 11:00 am As I see it's confession time, I must admit I've never played any Gollop game back in the day

I never enjoyed the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
