The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #91 – Avalon

by

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games… Yesterday we had the excellent Green Beret and today we arrive at our first from Hewson Consultants.  Avalon was the game which was quite possibly the precursor for the Monkey Island classics; though interesting to look at and technically rather clever, number #91 in my humble […]

by

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games… After the quite frankly bit of a let-down that was Gyron yesterday, we arrive at number #92 and instantly a smile is smacked back onto our faces – however it rapidly hits you that Green Beret really should be higher in the list than this!

Video Game Review – Overwatch

by

Tom Powter reviews Overwatch… Multiplayer only games have something of a bad reputation. They’re often seen as half-baked experiences with little-to-no longevity supplemented by paid season passes and additional content, an opinion exacerbated by titles like Titanfall and Evolve, whose player bases simply evaporated when the next big title appeared.

by

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games… After yesterday’s excellent serving of RoboCop you’d probably be expected something equally as delicious. Well back in 1985 Gyron could have won you a Porsche 923 or £12,500 (GBP) of cash if you managed to successfully solve its puzzle.  However, that prize doesn’t mean anything if […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #95 – The Train Game

by

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games… After the frantic Cruising on Broadway, you’d probably be under the impression that #95 The Train Game is a sedate little number; however you’d be very wrong and after twenty minutes of this you’ll possibly be suffering from an acute migraine due to stress. The Train […]
