Video Game Review – Alter Ego on the NES

by

Villordsutch reviews Alter Ego on the NES… In our homebrew reviews today we take a look at game that destroys your mother’s bizarre hysterical rant of, “I can’t be in two places at once!?” and puts it to bed once and for all.  Not only that, but it’s possibly the first NES game I’ve ever […]

by

After we’ve pulled the emergency cord to Stop The Express and we’re praying in hope that we don’t get slapped with a £50 fine for wasting the rail network’s time, we restart our ZX Spectrum and load up All or Nothing which sits happily at No.#3 in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Now this game […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #4 – Stop the Express

After forgetting the poor souls trapped in eternal slavery and making the easy break for freedom, we leave Head Over Heels and make a run for No.# 4 in the Your Sinclair Top 100, which in this case is Stop the Express from Sinclair Research Ltd.

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #5 – Head over Heels

by

After well and truly informing the Bydo Empire where they can put their invasion plan yesterday in R-Type, we decide on staying in the black void that our ancestors so imaginatively called,”Space” for our next game in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Number Five is another one from Ocean Software and bizarrely it involves the […]

After reaching the heady heights – in numerous landscapes – then proclaiming yourself The Sentinel, our calling in the Your Sinclair Top 100 now sees us return to the inky black.  Number Six from Electric Dreams Software sees us going nose-to-nose against Bydo, as we take control of R-Type. R-Type began its life in the […]

Video Game Review – Karlos on the ZX Spectrum

Villordsutch reviews Karlos on the ZX Spectrum… On today’s Homebrew Review we take our ZX Spectrum into the deepest, darkest Peru in search of lost Inca idols. Karlos wanders into the great unexplored with nothing more than his trusty hammer and a certificate in Moving & Handling.   Karlos was originally published by the Perspective […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #7 – The Sentinel

by

The world of the cute needs to be removed from your memories for the next slice of gaming history!  Rainbow Islands is nothing like our next game in the Your Sinclair Top 100, which is currently loading into our ZX Spectrums.  Granted No.#7 from Firebird is a hailed as a classic, but you’re really not […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #8 – Rainbow Islands

by

As with Boulder Dash yesterday we’re rocking the extreme’s again today in the Your Sinclair Top 100, and we’ve gone from the extremely basic looking world of deep-mining to the glorious, colourful world of Rainbow Islands at No.#8 from Ocean Software. Rainbow Islands was originally an arcade release for Taito which sprung up in 1987; […]

From the hi-tech to the low-tech.  We go from one extreme to the other in today’s Your Sinclair Top 100, as yesterday we were in the latest line of hypersonic jets as we played T.L.L., but today we’re given the latest in the line of pickaxes!  At No.#9 we are playing the classic Boulder Dash […]
