The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #100 – Zzoom

May 20, 2016 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games…

Back in the 1980s there was a computer that existed in most British homes called the ZX Spectrum.  This machine was the doorway to many different worlds for anyone that owned it, as we tanned our faces which rested two foot away from a cathode-ray screen every day.

There was a catalogue of thousands of games for this machine and every month three main magazines told us what was hot and what was not: Crash, Sinclair User and Your Sinclair.  It is the last magazine we turn to as we look at its final list of Top 100 games ever, which it began in October 1991.

We start with a title from Imagine Software, a company born from the ashes of Bug-Byte Software and with its headquarters setup in Liverpool.  Imagine were renowned for classic titles like Pedro, Renegade, Green Beret and Arkanoid.  However the opening title for this Top 100 is Zzoom!

Zzoom was released in 1983 and was one of the first games I ever truly witnessed on the ZX Spectrum. Taking the controls of a fighter jet, you were tasked with protecting the refugees from the invading forces by air and sea. Check out the video here…
