by

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games… Continuing with the countdown we arrive at No. 96 and with this we hit Cruising on Broadway from Solarsoft, released way back in 1983.

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #90 – Bounder

by

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games… From Avalon yesterday we bounce towards the life of a sentient tennis ball with the first Gremlin Graphics game (and it certainly won’t be the last) to grace our countdown, as Bounder arrives to truly shatter our nerves. Gremlin Graphics was the software house that delivered numerous titles […]

Video Game Review – Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival

by

Scott Watson reviews Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival… Nostalgia – a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one’s life, to one’s home or homeland, or to one’s family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time. When Dino Dini’s Kick Off […]

Video Game Review – Deep Core Raider on the ZX Spectrum

by

Villordsutch reviews Deep Core Raider on the ZX Spectrum… One of my favourite all time computer games of old was Thrust created by the late Jeremy Smith. I spent many a wet break time at school on a massive BBC Micro battling both inertia and gravity to steal the orbs from numerous caves.  So when I caught […]
