If you spotted that I used footage from Saboteur II instead of Saboteur, congratulations, you have won one free "social media engagement" ticket and you are allowed to comment about it below. You will receive one pat on the back, and you can ask one person if they remember something.

Just loved the spectrum. Will be showcasing some games myself at some point. Thanks.

@himselfe Год назад

The game that most interested me on the Spectrum as a kid was Werewolves of London. My exposure was limited on the Spectrum so there are undoubtedly games that would have appealed to me more had I played them, but the idea of being able to explore a city, go up on roof tops, use crowbars to get into sewers, and walk through underground railways really appealed to me. In hindsight it's not that great of a game, and I have no interest in werewolves, but the concept A*.

@Daz555Daz Год назад

Well shows you what I know because of those, only JetPac makes my personal top 10!

The 'Saboteur' footage was from the sequel. Great video though and I subscribed. Not watched it all yet, paused to comment, but if Barbarian (by Palace Software, not Psygnosis) does not rate highly I might have to find out where you live. Obviously joking. The promotional material featured a soon to be member of Gladiators and a Page 3 'stunna'. Where is my pat on the back? Cheers.

@HappyCodingZX Год назад

It might seem odd, and maybe I'm being pedantic, but I think there is a difference between 'ZX Spectrum games' and 'games on the ZX Spectrum'. What I mean is that as much as I love Bruce Lee, I don't consider it to be a ZX Spectrum game - it's a conversion of an Atari 800 game. In your final shot of the ten games, you can even see what I think is the C64 screenshot! I'm curious what the top ten would be if you removed conversions from the list.

@VaterOrlaag Год назад

Thank you for this video. I'm not really interested in fighting over which particular classic is slightly better than the others*), but this brought back so many memories. Like that time when a friend gave me a map of Saboteur 2, a copy of a copy from a Polish magazine, so I could finally beat the damn game. He even pencilled in the secret cave beneath the left tower that gave you invincibility... *) Even though only a lunatic would pick Rebelstar over Laser Squad. What was it about a sequel that did everything better?

@gordonwalker1975 Год назад

The Honourable Mr. GigerPunk is, in my opinion, a gentleman of class and taste. Some tantalising options to pick from there, Dave, and I hope we get to see your (obviously definitive) list before I succumb to a bad case of the curiosity-related vapors... 💖

@toastedfallenstar584 Год назад

@ChrisFranklyn Год назад

I didn't spot the Saboteur footage because as a useless child I'm not even sure if I ever got onto the pier at the start! I feel this is something I should rectify. I'll go and have a nostalgia breakdown because the squishy laser sound in Arcadia tickled a long distant memory.

But you can't have a pic of the boring blue Splat! cover without the shiny (lenticular?) cover that drew my eye to it in Micro Mart in Kidderminster! These days you can get it on large sheets of wrapping paper for a quid, but back then it was a rare treat for the eyes, up there with fluorescent plastic and UV lights :D

@mogwaay Год назад

Yes I enjoyed the premise. Yes I enjoyed the excellent cameos. Yes I enjoyed the, as-always, witty narration. But, how did the game that me and my little Brother played the most on our late ZX +2A not get included anywhere, the all time classic, pack-in smash: Krazy Golf... Let me check if it's been reviewed before.. Ah, I might be mistaken, I'll get my coat...

@davekendall5273 Год назад

Rebelstar, rather than Laser Squad's multiple missions of similar strategic goodness? Tau Ceti and its sequel Academy are the only omissions that make me weepy. Somehow their simple pseudo 3D graphics felt amazingly immersive and I spent hours getting blown to bits in both of them. They were well received back in the day, but seem to have sunk into obscurity even among Speccy fans, especially compared with the likes of Elite, or even Carrier Command and Mercenary.

@nathancross7617 Год назад

my top 10 goes like this . . . 1 . Zorro 2 . Bruce Lee 3 . Jet Set Willy 4 . Pyjamarama 5 . Horace Goes Skying 6 . 3D DeathChase 7 . Stop the Express 8 . Scuba Dive 9 . Alchemist 10. Flight Simulation

@arostwocents 11 месяцев назад

Horace goes skiing 😮 🤣 you need to play that today. It's a worse version of Frogger combined with a much more shallow and worse version of 2600 skiing. Cousin Horace is worthy of a top 10 spot for a Horace game though. Even the item based adventure level is fun and makes sense with a reasonable sized map. The only issue that stops it being a 10 is the slightly crappy shmup level two and it not being clear that the start point is the end point on completion of level 4 but it's a solid 9 all day. Would love the tape of it to add to my old boxes despite not having played physical Speccy for years

@DaveVelociraptor Год назад

ok, so first of all that genuinely is a great video. I've not been that invested in a top system list like that since The Joy Of Sticks did his top 50 ST games by popular vote and maybe only because I'm a massive ST fan. I got angrier as the list went on, but kept telling myself that there were so many good games you simply had to leave out some good ones. And then you'd leave out an absolute belter of a game and I got angry again. I'm tempted to say I could make a top 10 list of the leftovers of the leftovers better than the top 10 list you make. In fact I might even be able to make one from the leftovers from the ones you took with you to yours. I can't wait for part 2. You are a spectrum terrorist

Not quite, the arcade released November 88 and the game December 88 on the Spectrum. However the arcade came about by Data East sub licensing it from Ocean in a rather strange deal. Ocean then used most of the arcade for the home versions, but adding a few extra features of their own i.e. Photofit
