Book Review – Sinclair ZX Spectrum: a visual compendium

January 4, 2016 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch reviews Sinclair ZX Spectrum: a visual compendium… Being born in the 1970’s I have the Sinclair ZX Spectrum rainbow colours coursing through my veins.  I still today fly the flag of the ZX Spectrum and though I’m more than happy to allow some gently mocking of this 8-bit machine to been tossed around, my greying hackles […]

Hardware Review – ZX Spectrum Vega

September 25, 2015 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch reviews the ZX Spectrum Vega… I’ve been interested in getting my hands on the ZX Spectrum Vega since its conception a year or so ago.  I’ve been a ZX Spectrum user since the early 1980’s, my first Sinclair product was the ZX81, then I went straight to the hard-shelled 48K and moved to the […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #68 – Tapper

June 21, 2016 by Villordsutch

Polar opposites now from yesterday’s Match Point which was all healthy people and Barley Water (whatever that is?) to working in a bar with Tapper today, where the only serving you have here is flinging ale down a bar to patrons before they grab you by the neck. Tapper was released by the ‘publish anything […]

Interview – Clive Townsend talks about his ZX Spectrum classic Saboteur

July 4, 2016 by Villordsutch

Clive Townsend created and released Saboteur – with software publishing house Durell Software – back in 1985.  Taking on the role of a clad in black Ninja, you had to steal a computer disk and make your way through numerous rooms, filled with guards, lasers and dogs to the helicopter waiting for you on the roof; […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #71– Frankie Goes To Hollywood

June 18, 2016 by Villordsutch

With Hijack and it hellish lifts safely behind us, we now set sail for a completely different location as we head for Liverpool, Merseyside to both solve a murder and find our way to the Pleasuredome.  We’ve arrived at No.#71  in the Your Sinclair Top 100 and it’s the completely bizarre Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #27 – Super Hang-On

August 1, 2016 by Villordsutch

Our brains have clearly been taxed enough over the past couple of days and as Deactivators is ejected from our communal cassette deck, we pick up an adrenaline-filled serving from the Your Sinclair Top 100 and smile as we realise that No.#27 is Super Hang-On from Electronic Arts. Super Hang-On was originally released by SEGA as […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #33 – Knight Lore

July 26, 2016 by Villordsutch

Leaving the piece of art that was Deus Ex Machina and praying there is no cyber-gift shop on the way out, we can only hope that our next game in the Your Sinclair Top 100 is a better effort than the previous two servings.  With the publisher of Ultimate Play the Game already appearing on […]
