---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Asteroids RX (Highrise) | A feature-heavy port... It's a faithful rendition of the original arcade games, but adds in some extra visual appeal and challenge too. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Coloco (Tuxedo Games) | A well made inertia-driven game that'll keep you coming back for more. | 80% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | The Swarm Is Coming (Minilop Retroware) | A good quality shooter that will prove to be a challenge. The weapon upgrades are warmly received as you progress through each level, making you feel warm inside when you release their potential. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Torreoscura English Version (Bieno Marti) | An atmospheric story, well written dialogue and puzzles. | 93% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Fireman Sam (Alternative) | It looks very nice, sounds not so nice and the missions will leave you a bit bemused in your role as a fire-fighter, unless you're under ten years old, of course. | 57% | ||
Spectrum 128K/+2/+3 | The Humans (Gabriele Amore) | A nice attempt and take on a classic game, but falls down a little on the essentials. | 76% | ||
Spectrum 48K | Anteater (Bubu) | More enjoyable the more you play it. An applaudable arcade conversion that does pay respect to its original. | 77% | ||
Spectrum 16K/48K/Plus/128K | Tardigrade (Stonechat Productions) | It's not going to win awards and plays like a game from 1982, but I found it more rewarding than I gave it credit for. It's not pretty, and it's a one-trick-pony but certainly has the one more go factor. | 74% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Akane (HICKS) | Though it won't break new ground in the platform genre, it's well done and has that something that makes you want to carry on trying. | 74% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | The Last Escape (Ariel Endaraues) | A rather engaging stealth game with a great war theme setting. | 86% | ||
Spectrum 128K/+2 | Shovel Adventure (Pat Morita Team) | A genuinely fun arcade game with Pac-Man and Space Panic elements... Where it excels in in its level design - it keeps up its momentum over the 40 levels. | 85% | ||
Spectrum 128K/+2/+3 | Nothing (Gogin) | A brilliant adaption of a popular indie game of the same name, made all the better as it's running on the Spectrum. | 91% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | The Goblin (HICKS) | A good single-screen platformer with enough uniqueness to make it stand out in a saturated genre. | 78% | ||
Spectrum 128K/+2 | Rival Gangs (Zxpresh) | A pretty decent, if not simple, GTA clone... This could become something a lot bigger should the correct tweaks be made. | 83% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K | Sergeant Seymour Robot Cop (Codemasters) | A nice break from the usual brain straining, puzzle-laden adventures that Seymour is usually accustomed to - a nice bit of fun. | 82% | ||
Spectrum 128K/+2 | The Doom Of The Pond (Furillo Productions) | Highly recommended... Detailed and atmospheric storytelling that captures the imagination. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Angels (zosya.net) | A well-executed fighter, and a technical marvel. It's slightly reigned back by loose fighting mechanics, but you'll be too busy starting in awe at the game to notice this much. | 90% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Coloristic (Martin Borik) | A nice little game that I kept coming back to in order to have 'one more go' to see if I could get to the next level. | 78% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Blockz (Raymond Russell) | A clever, but fiddly, puzzle game. | 73% | ||
Spectrum 48K/128K/+2/+3 | Restless Andre (ESPECTROTEAM) | A nice, challenging little puzzler requiring some expert timing in order to progress to the next level. | 74% |
