The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #16 – Elite

August 12, 2016 by Villordsutch

After the quite frankly fantastic Starquake we decided to stick around in the great black void for our next entry in the Your Sinclair Top 100, as we pick up No.#16 in we notice we’ve got here from Firebird a short story and a keyboard overlay hidden in this huge box. I’m guessing Elite is […]

No longer being involved in the macabre, trap dodging, kill or be killed Spy vs Spy we rapidly leave the area in our plane and look towards our next game, hoping that life in our next Your Sinclair Top 100 entry will not be so brutal. However looking at No.#19 it appears we’re not escaping […]

Rapidly leaving the rather humdrum Starstrike II behind, we open the box marked classics in the Your Sinclair Top 100 and hope our next game isn’t so disheartening.  Taking a glance at the cover of No.#23 I’m sure that The Great Escape – from Ocean Software – will not let us down one bit…I hope.
