I never played it, but upon reading that I instantly remembered the advertisement for the game.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with P: discussion
A played many of them a lot. Really a huge and great list.
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with P: discussion
This is going to be a pretty tricky one. There are four outstanding ones for me:
Pippo - A great budget tittle with some good music.
The Pawn - all time great adventure
The Pyramid - one of the first games I played.
But, for me it’s got to be Ping Pong!! Easily one of the best sports games on the spectrum and probably the best table tennis game on any system and that title tune!!! After over 30 years I still know it off by heart. Superb.

Pyjamarama for me, but there's some cracking games in there - it's everything 'O' wasn't.

Penetrator then Power Drift for me Almost the first and almost the last Specy games I played!
Another slightly obscure early one I played round at my friends: Pterodactyl!

Oh no! Major fail on my part!! Yes, that’s the one though - I just remember it being phonetically Pterodactyl! I see what they’ve done there though.Morkin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 17, 2018 10:57 pmPterodactyl? ...Do you mean this one?stformatjez wrote: ↑Tue Jul 17, 2018 10:19 pm Penetrator then Power Drift for me Almost the first and almost the last Specy games I played!

nothing special but I recall some people like it
The only people I know who like it, like the arcade version, or indeed pretty much ANY version other than the Spectrum. I include myself in this. The bodged conversion of this great horizontal scrolling game to a flip-screen atrocity (on one screen where you reach the far right, you find yourself stuck until you jump over the unseen fire hydrant that just happens to be at the start of the next screen!)

That'll come under '#' (numeric characters), which will be the 'letter' after Z.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with P: discussion
Pssst is probably the earliest great classic here, but my vote will deffo go to Pyjamarama.
The next letter is gonna be my favourite, it includes my all time fave speccy game

I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...

I'm going to get the vote started a day later - tomorrow from 10am. Another 'thing' has just come up (and I'll explain these soon).

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with P: discussion
Good point. I think it should be included here. Original being priority, so we're counting this as Phantomas 2. CodeMasters put it out here as Vampire, so we'll ignore that when it comes to V...Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 10:21 am And I have a question: Phantomas has a sequel, Phantomas 2 (excellent game, my fave Dinamic game) but released as 'Vampyre' in the UK.
Should we include it here or in the V thread? I think we should take into account the original release.
