The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #42 – The Hobbit

July 17, 2016 by Villordsutch

With the pulse pounding from the truly fantastic Midnight Resistance we can today give ourselves a well earned rest, as we’ve come across our first text-based adventure in the Your Sinclair Top 100.  Here is also the game which perhaps spawned the first internet meme, before internet meme’s became a thing (and technically the internet), […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #20 – Spy vs Spy

August 8, 2016 by Villordsutch

After crawling around numerous air vents looking for Jones the cat in Alien, we finally make our escape in the Narcissus, and turning to our next game in the Your Sinclair Top 100 we discover that Number #21 is another tie-in, but this is from the MAD Magazine. Loading onto our CRT screens is two […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #17 – Starquake

August 11, 2016 by Villordsutch

Carefully removing Underwurlde from the cassette player, placing it into its case and then popping said game into a box marked, “Never to be played again” – currently occupied by Football Manager, Hypersports and International Match Day – we load up the next game in the Your Sinclair Top 100 and we’re instantly met with another ruddy platformer!  However […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #35 – I, Ball II

July 24, 2016 by Villordsutch

With Cybernoid appearing yesterday in the Your Sinclair Top 100, the bar has been set pretty damn high for our next contender to pass.  So it’s going to be interesting to see if this budget labelled game – I, Ball 2 – from Firebird, currently sat at No.#35 can do that. I, Ball 2 arrived […]

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: #38 – Gauntlet

July 21, 2016 by Villordsutch

If the life of a cut-throat Mercenary isn’t for you then it’s time to leave the wire-frame world behind and pick up either a bow, staff, sword or axe as No.#38 in the Your Sinclair Top 100 is the rather excellent Gauntlet from U.S. Gold. Gauntlet began life as a four-player Atari arcade game back […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #11 – Sim City

August 17, 2016 by Villordsutch

One day you’re fighting international terrorists who stole from right under your noses a high-tech, aircraft carrier – in Carrier Command – and the next you contemplating whether you should be building a residential area so close to a coal burning power station.  The worries of a ZX Spectrum gamer!  In the Your Sinclair Top 100 today […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #88 – Wheelie

June 1, 2016 by Villordsutch

After yesterday’s movie tie-in Cobra we come to a tiny piece of originality which was was clearly created on some rampant cheese eating bing by some Eddie Kidd/Evil Kenevil fan.  We’ve arrived at Number #88 and it’s called Wheelie. Published by Microsphere in 1983, the same software house behind the The Train Game which sat at Number #95, comes […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #34 – Deus Ex Machina

July 25, 2016 by Villordsutch

Waving goodbye to I, Ball 2 we look to the future, crossing our fingers and hoping that our next title in the Your Sinclair Top 100 will be something quite frankly brilliant.  Then to see that we have real life British music, film and television greats involved in our next release it can only mean […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #93 – Gyron

May 27, 2016 by Villordsutch

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games… After yesterday’s excellent serving of RoboCop you’d probably be expected something equally as delicious. Well back in 1985 Gyron could have won you a Porsche 923 or £12,500 (GBP) of cash if you managed to successfully solve its puzzle.  However, that prize doesn’t mean anything if […]
