Commodore 64 snobs need not apply. Get yer ain thread.
The humble ZX Spectrum, an 80s micro computer that should, on the face of it, never have worked. Awful keyboard, sound capabilties of a couple of tin cans, and horrendous color clash when colours got within a few pixels of each other, it was a technical basket case.
But it was an amazing wee machine. And the games, oaft the games. Somehow bedroom programmers got the absolute most out of just 48k of memory and all its other limitations to produce thousands of games, many of which are still playable 40 or so years later.
So, what were YOUR five favourite games on the machine? Almost impossible to narrow it down to five, but here's my best effort.
1. Skool Daze
2. Manic Miner
3. Chuckie Egg
4. Football Manager
5. Hyper Sports
Honourable mention to Match Day 2, Red Moon, Atic Atac, Sabre Wulf, Jet Pac, Jet Set Willy, Trashman, Great Escape, Daley Thompsons Decathlon, and Wanted:Monty Mole.
