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
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
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
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: #82 – Hyperaction
From one strategy game to another, as we arrive at Hyperaction, No. #82 from Silversoft. A puzzle game that upon first appearance you may despis, but after a few further rounds, this could become one of your firm favourites. Hyperaction was created by Iain Christopher Hayward, Jay Derrett back in 1984. Initially Hyperaction seems like a […]
The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #83 – Football Manager
It takes a steely nerve to put a curly-haired, bearded chap smiling on the cover of something and then expect it to sell well. In truth this only really happens once a decade it being Bob Ross’ (Deceased) turn the decade before. However when Kevin Toms appeared, smiling on the cover of his Football Manager […]
The Top 10 Greatest ZX Spectrum Tunes Ever!
Going through the Top 100 Your Sinclair games [follow the countdown here] I’ve become aware of the rather brilliant – and also dire – tunes that were designed around the games – some hidden amongst levels, but most placed in a prominent spot as the game’s main theme. Not wanting to be overly biased I strolled along […]
The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #84 – Technician Ted
If our gaming life was our C.V. it would look rather interesting over the past few days space fighter extraordinaire, trash man, defender of the human-race and now today a technician in a chip factory as our life brings us to Number #84 Technician Ted. In our second Hewson Consultants game within the Your Sinclair […]
The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #85 – Guardian 2
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
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 […]
