The author of the video warns:

"WARNING: PHOTOSENSITIVITY/EPILEPSY SEIZURES
If you have an epileptic condition or have had seizures of any kind, or just are a thin-skinned troll, please consult your physician before watching this awesome video"



How many can you spot?

@Juan F. Ramirez,

Having watched about five seconds of that I feel almost as sick as I did when trying a VR headset at work.

Maybe I'm just 'a thin skinned troll'!

[Daveysloan]

Not sure about "thin skinned troll", but I get photosensitive migraines so I'm appreciative of the warning as I would definitely have clicked on the vid (and probably have been out of action for 6-48 hours depending on exposure.)

Press pause. The game you see is the only game you can play for the rest of your life



(ps: I'm now "Australian Rules Football" until I die..)

10,000

[Juan F. Ramirez]

10,000

And did you survive after it?

Spanish accounting software. Oh dear.

(probably still easier for me to get my head around than Abu Simbel Profanation)

[PeteProdge]

The SCREEN$ data for all of that is almost 66 megabytes. That's a lot of floppy disks, but the amount of C90 cassettes would be a lot lot more!

There's something in the region of 6,000 commercially released ZX Spectrum games (that appeared to be the conclusion reached when I asked 'How many ZX Spectrum games are there?).

[R-Tape]

My god... it's full of games.

My 'pause' game was Adidas Championship tie-break, which isn't so bad I suppose.

[Vampyre]

Bazooka Bill.

Well that sucks...

[Mpk]

I got Ice Man. I've never heard of it, but it's from 1997, so probably pretty impressive. Pretty happy with that, let's check it out.



Oh.

[Lee Bee]

This video reminds me of a scene from Star Trek The Next Generation: "Captain, the aliens are scanning our entire database, learning everything we know!"

[XTM]

Remember you can advance/go back one frame on a paused YouTube video with the , and . keys

[patters]

Literal 'blink and you'll miss it'.

Oh.

Seems a clone of Ice Climber, but not the one we have in SC, https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/1 ... ce_Climber

Edit: ouch! I see, https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/2 ... um/Ice_Man

Lerm copier program.... I've been rumbled!

That was entertaning, repeated on 0.25 speed and got to see those screens a lot clearer.

I'd rather watch that for 3 minutes than suffer another demo with the overused, pointless and utterly annoying epilepsy seizure enducing whiteflash effect.

[arkannoyed]

It’s surprising how many screens you recognise just playing it through.
