The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #1 – Deathcase

August 27, 2016 by Villordsutch

Well this is it!  We turn off Rebelstar and load up the final game in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  It’s been over three months but finally we get to see what the greatest ZX Spectrum* magazine believed was the ultimate title in the Spectrum’s history.  At No.#1 we have Deathcase from Micromega! (*probably) It was […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #5 – Head over Heels

August 23, 2016 by Villordsutch

After well and truly informing the Bydo Empire where they can put their invasion plan yesterday in R-Type, we decide on staying in the black void that our ancestors so imaginatively called,”Space” for our next game in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Number Five is another one from Ocean Software and bizarrely it involves the […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #100 – Zzoom

May 20, 2016 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games… Back in the 1980s there was a computer that existed in most British homes called the ZX Spectrum.  This machine was the doorway to many different worlds for anyone that owned it, as we tanned our faces which rested two foot away from a cathode-ray screen every […]

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: #85 – Guardian 2

June 4, 2016 by Villordsutch

After the grounding role of a refuse collector in Trashman from yesterday’s Your Sinclair Top 100, we’re back into the murky depths of outer space in this Defender-like game, as  No.#85 on the list is Guardian 2. Published by Hi Tec Software in 1990, I recently discovered – thanks to a programmer from the past named Rich Stevenson – […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #86 – Trashman

June 3, 2016 by Villordsutch

After the heroic adventures in space with Codename: MAT, we’re brought down to Earth with a very large bang as our role in life becomes one in which you have to deal with everybody’s daily rubbish:  Number #86 is Trashman published by New Generation Software from way back in 1984. Though the idea of a computer […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #87 – Codename: MAT

June 2, 2016 by Villordsutch

Yesterday we had Wheelie, a rather brilliant piece of imagination, and today with No. #87 we drop into Codename: MAT – or as it’s also know Codename Mission: Alien Termination. Micromega, who produced a number of games which ranged from Postman Pat’s Trail Game to the ultimate Deathcase, created Codename: MAT way back in 1984.   We […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #3 – All or Nothing

August 25, 2016 by Villordsutch

After we’ve pulled the emergency cord to Stop The Express and we’re praying in hope that we don’t get slapped with a £50 fine for wasting the rail network’s time, we restart our ZX Spectrum and load up All or Nothing which sits happily at No.#3 in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Now this game […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #4 – Stop the Express

August 24, 2016 by Villordsutch

After forgetting the poor souls trapped in eternal slavery and making the easy break for freedom, we leave Head Over Heels and make a run for No.# 4 in the Your Sinclair Top 100, which in this case is Stop the Express from Sinclair Research Ltd. Stop the Express arrived on the rubber keyed wonder […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #40 – Highway Encounter

July 19, 2016 by Villordsutch

Though it’s sad to turn off Fantasy World Dizzy we must go forwards into the Your Sinclair Top 100 and our next entry at No.#40 is luckily a rather original game, which on initial appearance looks like it contains a rather drunk Dalek! Up slides Highway Encounter from Vortex Software and it’s a good one. […]
