The best classic Speccy games A-Z thing

[PeteProdge]

We're about halfway through this project, so time to take a breather and a look at what we've done so far...



Pretty, ain't it?

We've got 14 more games to go. (Yes, N-Z is 13, but I'm also going to use '#' as a 'letter' for all the numeric-initialled titles, like 180 by Mastertronic and 720 by US Gold.)

For the record, the list currently is...

Atic Atac by Ultimate
Bomb Jack by Elite
Chase HQ by Ocean
Deathchase by Micromega
Exolon by Hewson
Fairlight by The Edge
Great Escape, The by Ocean
Hobbit, The by Melbourne House
Into The Eagle's Nest by Pandora
Jetpac by Ultimate
Knight Lore by Ultimate
Lords Of Midnight, The by Beyond
Manic Miner by Bug Byte/Software Projects

The N vote will start on Tuesday morning btw...

Fair winners (except letter *cough* F *cough*)

I tried casting a 'Disbelieve' spell on the 'C' square but sadly to no avail.

I was about to praise Pete for the weekly grind of doing the discussion then vote threads, lauding what a contribution it is to our burgeoning little site.

But I have to agree with bob, the "C" vote is a travesty that happened on his watch and needs to be accounted for.

It's all very disappointing.

I'm completely with you on that. Chaos is my favourite game of all time, on any platform, and I'm dismayed that one single vote beat it.

Last night, to make those animated GIFs, I had to play those games and have OBS Studio capture my efforts (which I then ported over to Adobe Premiere to tweak about and festoon with letters). Playing Chase HQ was really painful. Yes, it's technically brilliant for the Speccy (although I am pretty confident that in the racing game stakes, WEC Le Mans appears to have the fastest motion ever seen on the platform) but it's underwhelming for me. Highly repetitive and quite frustrating.

It's a great image, can't wait to see all 27 (not that I'm wishing my life away).

"Into the Eagle's Nest" is the only one that looks anomalous to me. Maybe it's just me but it looks like a classic that a large number of people haven't heard of.

Yeah, it was just that and The Great Escape that I had never played before. Also, I've never really been able to, like, do anything substantial in Lords Of Midnight.
