Music Review – The Spectrum Works by Allister Brimble

February 21, 2017 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch reviews The Spectrum Works by Allister Brimble… If you asked most classic gamers if they would like to sit down and listen to the tunes of a ZX Spectrum for just under an hour, they’d probably look at you like you’re a fool.  Expecting to be blasted in the ear with the migraine inducing screech […]

February 20, 2017 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch reviews Speccy Nation Vol.2 “The Digital Decade”… The ZX Spectrum and myself go back a long way.  Anyone who has stumbled across any homebrew gaming reviews or interviews of mine will see that I have an affinity with this classic, rather fantastic, Great British home computer and when the ability comes around to review something else […]

Video Game Review – Merry Christmas From Horace on the ZX Spectrum

November 28, 2016 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch reviews Merry Christmas Fom Horace on the ZX Spectrum… Horace, the no necked, vacant staring shape of a being is – in some classic ZX Spectrum owners hearts – the official mascot of the their machine.  Yes, we have Miner Willy from Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy, Monty Mole from a cluster of games […]

August 27, 2016 by Villordsutch

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #2 – Rebelstar

August 26, 2016 by Villordsutch

Hoping that we’ll never see a purple courtyard in our lives again, we wave goodbye to All or Nothing and beam out of that world, arriving somewhere very different in our next helping within the Your Sinclair Top 100.  No.#2 is a game that is still causing “Gaming Wave Ripples” to this day, through both […]

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 […]
