The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #42 – The Hobbit

by

With the pulse pounding from the truly fantastic Midnight Resistance we can today give ourselves a well earned rest, as we’ve come across our first text-based adventure in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Here is also the game which perhaps spawned the first internet meme, before internet meme’s became a thing (and technically the internet), […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #43 – Midnight Resistance

by

At the rather uneventful, amazingly hum-drum game that was Rescue, we now arrive at a game that truly is the complete opposite – a game in the Your Sinclair Top 100 that is so full of action and colour that if your shoelaces aren’t done up tight enough your socks will be blown off!  At […]

Leaving the beautiful game (not my words) behind us, we run as fast as we can away from International Match Day towards our next entry in the Your Sinclair Top 100; however it doesn’t bode well for us, as even the Your Sinclair description of Number #44 mentions that Rescue is “nothing remarkable”. Rescue was […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #45 – International Match Day

by

We leave one world of spheres with Bobby Bearing and enter another – however as regular readers of the Your Sinclair Top 100 know, the following genre really isn’t my favourite.  You could actually say that I personally despise what’s hiding behind No.#45, which is International Match Day from Ocean Software. International Match Day was […]

If you’ve enjoyed your life as a common garden bumble bee in Antics (or not) it is now time to move on, or in this case roll on, as trundling into the No.#46 slot of the Your Sinclair Top 100 is Bobby Bearing from software publishing house The Edge. Bobby Bearing was released back in […]

by

You’d think that after the serious amount of bloody noses you’ve dished out in yesterday’s gaming classic Renegade, that the Your Sinclair Top 100 would be ready to deliver us another game which rocked the home computer world, one with thrills, spills and that is etched into gaming lore.  You’ll be rather surprised then to […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #48 – Renegade

by

After the peace and quiet has passed with a few rounds of Tetris, it’s only right our attention returns to some real action.  What better way to do this that with smacking somebody in the teeth, then following this up with high-kick, knocking them straight off the edge off a train station!  Obviously we’re not advocating this […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #49 – Tetris

by

After the adrenaline, wheelie filled world of Enduro Racer we need a come down, and what better game to take with us to our quiet corner than the one resting at Number #49 in the Your Sinclair Top 100, which is Alexey Pajitnov’s classic Tetris. Tetris is the game that quite possibly everybody on the […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #50 – Enduro Racer

by

It’s time to kick our gaming up a gear, leaving the frantic and addictive Robotron in the distance for we’re now bunny-hopping and tearing up the place as we arrive at No.#50 in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Dig out the Kick Start theme music and play it at full volume as Enduro Racer has just […]

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

by

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 – […]
