With the brilliant Pang passing us by yesterday we arrive at the second game in the Your Sinclair Top 100 from dk’tronics and also Don Priestley (the last being Maziacs), however this game is one of the first television tie-ins Don will be tackling in a rather bright and large way; we’ve arrived at the […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #74– Pang

June 15, 2016 by Villordsutch

After a succession of not overly enjoyable games  – with the final one being Wriggler – it’s great to finally pick up a game that not only rings back from the past with some brilliant gaming memories, but within the opening few rounds still shows you that the gameplay has been retained after a quarter of a century.  […]

The Top 5 Worst ZX Spectrum Games Ever!

June 14, 2016 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch wades through the Top 5 worst ZX Spectrum games ever… As I’ve worked my way through the annals of Speccy games [follow my Your Sinclair Top 100 here], I’ve come across a fair few games, that in all honesty, I personally don’t feel should even be allowed into the sunlight.  Granted at a point […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #75– Wriggler

June 14, 2016 by Villordsutch

After Three Weeks in Paradise yesterday which came from a software house that had programmers at desks creating games, music composers for title music and art departments for posters and cassette inlays ,we turn to Number #75 in this Your Sinclair Top 100 which is called Wriggler – a game completely designed by a schoolboy. It wasn’t just […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #77 – Gyroscope

June 12, 2016 by Villordsutch

After the two rather excellent games of Flying Shark and Atic Atac we descend rapidly towards Number #77 in the Your Sinclair Top 100 and scream towards the arcade-puzzle game Gyroscope from Melbourne House. Our second game from Melbourne House in the chart so far (the first being Sir Lancelot just last week), Gyroscope spun into existence back in […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #78 – Flying Shark

June 11, 2016 by Villordsutch

With Ultimate’s Atic Atac, which was the last game looked at in the chart, our fortunes are continuing to run high as swooping in from Firebird at Number #78 is Flying Shark, the Taito coin-op classic from 1987. This is our second game in the countdown from Firebird so far – the first being Gyron – […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #79 – Atic Atac

June 10, 2016 by Villordsutch

From one supposed classic yesterday to one real classic today! Arriving at Number #79 in the charts – rather criminally too – is Atic Atac from Ultimate.  You may be instantly wondering – as I was – why this game is so low in the Your Sinclair Top 100. I have no idea and as […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #80 – Sir Lancelot

June 9, 2016 by Villordsutch

From yesterday’s detailed space adventure of Dark Star we turn to Number #80 in the Your Sinclair Top 100 and it’s very much a depart from the scenes we witnessed yesterday.  In another game which could easily be labelled as a Manic Miner clone, we open the portcullis on Sir Lancelot. Sir Lancelot was published […]

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 […]
