The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #12 – Carrier Command

August 16, 2016 by Villordsutch

Leaving the simple, if not deadly, life of Hen-House Harry behind us with Chuckie Egg, we step into the world of futuristic warfare with our next instalment in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Sailing in at No.#12 is Carrier Command from Rainbird. Carrier Command arrived on the ZX Spectrum back in 1989, programmed by Realtime […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #27 – Super Hang-On

August 1, 2016 by Villordsutch

Our brains have clearly been taxed enough over the past couple of days and as Deactivators is ejected from our communal cassette deck, we pick up an adrenaline-filled serving from the Your Sinclair Top 100 and smile as we realise that No.#27 is Super Hang-On from Electronic Arts. Super Hang-On was originally released by SEGA as […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #33 – Knight Lore

July 26, 2016 by Villordsutch

Leaving the piece of art that was Deus Ex Machina and praying there is no cyber-gift shop on the way out, we can only hope that our next game in the Your Sinclair Top 100 is a better effort than the previous two servings.  With the publisher of Ultimate Play the Game already appearing on […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #81 – Dark Star

June 8, 2016 by Villordsutch

After being firmly grounded in the Hyperaction’s mazes, we now take to the stars once again with Design Design’s Dark Star which arrives at No. 81 in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  According to the World of Spectrum the game was supposedly inspired by John Carpenter and Dan O’Bannon’s film of the same name, though anybody who […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #31 – Lunar Jetman

July 28, 2016 by Villordsutch

With a heavy heart we leave Jet Set Willy and continue counting down in the the Your Sinclair Top 100 and it appears we’re in luck as what floats in at No.#31 is another Ultimate Play the Game release – this time it’s Lunar Jetman. Lunar Jetman bobbed into view back in 1983 from Tim and Chris […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #51 – Robotron

July 8, 2016 by Villordsutch

From one highly addictive classic to another, we attempt to tear ourselves away from Jumping Jack and load up No. 51 in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Robotron will have you swearing so loudly your surrounding neighbours will be picking up a few new colourful words today. Robotron – also known as Robotron 2084 – […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #25 – Manic Miner

August 3, 2016 by Villordsutch

After the frantic, colourful space shmup that was Light Force our next game in the Your Sinclair Top 100 takes us deep under our own worlds surface.  Number #25 is the classic platformer Manic Miner. Manic Miner came from the brain of Matthew Smith in 1983, published by Bug-Byte Software and then Software Projects.  It […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #23 – The Great Escape

August 5, 2016 by Villordsutch

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. The […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #39 – Mercenary

July 20, 2016 by Villordsutch

Cruising highways are gone and now forgotten as we wave goodbye to Highway Encounter; with our next entry in the Your Sinclair Top 100 our world has become somewhat hollow, somewhat wireframe, and now we sell our cut throat services for cash.  At No.#39 is the 3D game of technical wizardry – it’s time to […]
