There you go...... those 3 alone would make most people's top 10. Anybody to attempts to make a "Top 7" Spectrum games and leaves out Jet Set Willy needs to see a doctor because he obviously has some problems!
Fun fact: it's impossible to beat the original version of jet set willy since a glitch in the code made the game unbeatable as it would mess up the rooms.
One of my favorite games. i used to play it with friends by turns... i even had a bunch of comic magazines on a corner of my room for us to read while each one was playing his turn... lol, this brings me such good memories.
Awesome list. Awesome games. Remember Way of the Exploding fist, Saboteur, a weird text 9nly game called Castle??? Oh and the Hobbit. 'You were eaten by a Troll, you have completed 0.2% of this game.'
Personal favourites of mine (or at least the ones I remember the most) - Chaos, Rebelstar, Skool Daze, Formula One, Ninja Scooter Simulator, Saboteur, and the first speccy game I ever played, Oh Mummy
Great video I dont evey you that task. That is an impossible task to name my top 7 Speccy favourates. Had a spectrum plus for 6 years had 100's of games. loved it ☺
My dad showed me that if I copied all the letters & numbers in the hefty book that came with the 128k, I could make PYRAMIDS appear on the TV!!!!!!1!! And if I didn't mind spending about 3 times as long, I could add a fireworks display to the scene. I loved this (not the actual typing), but I realise now; it was just the ultimate child distraction. Hours upon hours of peace and quiet. Still, amazing what amazed us in 1984. I never tried one game in your list :/
Excellent video, very well put together. Its an impossible mission to select just 7 games but I would have to have The Great Escape, Death Wish 3, Back To Skool, Trap Door, Turbo Esprit, Three Weeks In Paradise and Zoids.
I don't understand why games like manic miner, chuckie egg and all the other generic platform puzzle games are heralded as iconic. No one I knew played them on their speccys in the 80's. The best games on the spectrum were outrun, chase hq, castle master, stunt car racer, dan dare, batman, run the gauntlet and gauntlet. These were all big action games that really showed off what the speccy could do. Back in the day It was all about mega block buster titles, big colorful graphics and pumping 128k music.
Loved this video mate. Being a big Speccy fan as well. But like you there are so many to choose from my childhood. Would struggle with a top 7...! Got to say Trapdoor might be up there for me too ;)
Nostalgia Nerd Dizzy, Brian Blood Axe, Monty Mole, Jet Set Willy, Sabre Wulfe, Ghostbusters, Way of the Exploding Fist, Chaos, Paperboy, Gauntlet... the list never ends for me ;)
All opinions are different - my list would include Zynaps, Thunderceptor, Savage, Elite, Dan Dare 3, Dynamite Dan, Myth series, beyond the ice palace..., Astro Marine Corps series...
No 'Elite'? Did you lose the Lenslok? Also, what about the likes of 'Knight Lore', 'Underwurld', 'Atic Atac', 'The Lords of Midnight, 'The Hobbit', 'Laser Squad' etc?
great video and some nice nostalgia as well. i played some of those games on other systems, but didnt have any experience with the speccy until the emulation scene.
I still play Bruce Lee and also love the improved Bruce Lee Rx too, spoilt for choice with just so many classics from the good old speccy, Thanks for this mate.
Fredy Hardest was one of my favorites... i even, (somehow without dying), taped a playthrough on a VHS tape... good old digital/analogic days of the 80's.
Great video. Loved the Speccy when I was a kid. Had a 48K and, later, a +2A. My top 10 games would be as follows: Pipe Mania Emlyn Hughes International Soccer Rainbow Islands Gauntlet Out Run Dan Dare III Olli & Lissa Rentakill Rita Bobby Bearing Treasure Island Dizzy Now, I'm not claiming these games were the best but they are the ones I played the most.
Insanity. This isn't the best games ever - these are your favourite games. Best games ever that don't include Elite, Knight Lore, and Jet Set Willy, know NOTHING!!!
Oh my god Trap-Door BEEEERK !!! 😍😍😍 the first video game I've ever played... I was 4 years old when my father brought C64 with the floppy of Trap-Door and the two versions, look like exactly the same ! ❤
Well i finished Bruce Lee when i played on Spectrum or C64. I think its not a difficult game. There are more difficult tricky games for spectrum for eg. Manic Minner, Yet Set Willy, Monty Mole etc.
Being on the other side of the pond, I didn't get into Speccy games until recently. Whole lotta good games on that thing! Given the price of the system itself at the time, and the games, its no wonder it took consoles so long to get a foothold in the UK.
R-Type always looked good. I'm a C64 fan from the beginning. As it was my first machine but the Spectrum is very endearing now as I seen more games with the Internet. Offers its own unique quirkyness to games.
Thank you for the memories. (would just like to point out that, jetpack & TransAm were both 16k games, I feel this makes them special in their own right)
Just when i couldn't get any more nostalgia you say Magdalen St in Norwich where i grew up in the 80's! What was the name of the other computers store in the back street near Jarrold's?
My arbitrary 7: 7 - Way of the Exploding Fist 6 - World Class Leaderboard 5 - Bomb Jack 4 - Chuckie Egg 3 - Manic Miner 2 - Green Beret 1 - Jet Set Willy
So many Spectrum games were just wandering around looking for the X pieces of something. They had endless screens and impossible jumps. I soon got sick of the whole genre.
My main speccy game shop was actually Boots. Good old 80's. One of the most nostalgic games I can recall was Back to Skool - the successor to Skool Daze. I had forgotten this game until I saw a video featuring it yesterday. Looking for more memory access triggers ;)
Halls of the Things, Starion, Split Personalities, Thrust, Dark Star, The Way of the Exploding Fist, Space Raiders, Moon Cresta, Horace Goes Skiing, Manic Miner, Monty on the Run, Pssst, JetPac, Ms Pacman, Tornado Low Level, Starquake, Elite, Fairlight, Bobby Bearing, Cyrus IS Chess, Alien (not 8), Bubble Bobble. Okay that's more than seven.
Defo agree with Bruce Lee and Batman. Bruce lee was the first game I ever beat and possibly the only one on the speccy :) SpyVspy good too but there's so many everyone would have a different list.
love the channel mate :) I know this is an old video but is there any chance of aN archimedes emulator step through to play zarch! You of all people understand THE NEED TO PLAY ZARCH as opposed to VIRUS ON THE AMIGA LOL:)
These games would run on the MEMOTEC MTX512 when a special module was pushed into the slot till it clicked then you could load a Sinclair Spectrum game and it turns out the MEMOTEC MTX512 actually had a better keyboard then the Sinclair Spectrum, you could add a unit called the MEMOTEC FDX512 floppy-drive which allows you to use two floppy discs at the same time via CPM Z80A.
Games I loved: Fairlight (one of the first persistent worlds, objects stayed where you put them as well as having weight), highway encounter 1+2, underwurlde, death star interceptor (awesome sound), starstrike, robin of the wood, jetpac, m.o.v.i.e., sweevos world, skool daze+bak to skool and a ton of others. Project future was the first game I bought with my own money, it wasnt half bad iirc, loads of colourful aliens and backgrounds and a shitload of screens (128 springs to mind but it might have been more).
Gah! Software Emporium, totally forgot the name of that place, I got my first Amiga Hard Drive and Printer from there! One Step Beyond was awesome too, a complete jumble of things, but was jam packed and exciting to explore!
Ah software emporium! Now theres a blast from the past! A veritabal Aladins cave of goodness! Though Magedalen always answered the call for secondhand media outlets:}
I think nobody mentioned these 5 good games: Fred, West Bank, Penetrator, Kong II, and Match Day II (the best 1-2 player soccer game for Spectrum). I also had lots of fun playing Target Renegade, Scuba Dive, Manic Miner, Commando, Jet Set Willy, Bruce Lee, JetPac, Batman, Moon Cresta, Phoenix, School Daze, Ant 3D, Rocky Horror Show, Tanx 3D, Missile, Horace (Skying, Eating and Spiders), Ikari Warriors, Pogo, Arkanoid, etc.
Roberto Zedinho Ha ha.Whot about Robocop, Bignose in usa, R Type, Enduro Racer, Lode Runner, Hong Kong Phooe, Saboteur , Battle Ship, Bstman In the Movie, Off Road Iron Man, Dan Dare, Tennage Mutant Ninja .Speccy realy greate compute.
Roberto Zedinho Zynaps, Exolon,1942, Sim City,Batty, Rex, Gryzor, Joe Blade, Say Combat, Monty Mole, Monte Carlo Cazino, Renegade, Legion of Deach, Stalingrad.
Roberto Zedinho and ones more Dizzy, Tree Week In paradise, Dizzy rapid the river, Chase HQ, Pole Position, Elite, Eclipse, Popay, Zorro, Panama Joe, Bomb Jeck, Operatii Wolf.
Top ten for me Robocop ahead of its time IMO Bionic commando R type Treasure island dizzy (mad frustration) Double dragon Spy vs spy Horris goes skiing Bullseye Tank simulator Outrun
I can clear bruce lee in around 10 mins. Very easy. I loved target renegade, spy hunter, barbarian, run the gauntlet , jetpac, way of the ex fist, bombjack. List could go on and on!
Haha as soon as I saw that space invaders filling the screen I knew I had to write the same. Took 2 minutes. I also used to type stuff furiously out of magazines when i was 6/7 years old (and never really got much better) but at least I still know how to program in speccy Basic!! 10 GO SUB 1000 20 BORDER 1: PAPER 0: BRIGHT 1: CLS 30 POKE 23692,255 40 FOR a=1 TO 10000 50 LET i=INT (RND*8) 60 PRINT INK i;"A"; 70 NEXT a 999 STOP 1000 RESTORE 1001: FOR F=65368 TO 65375: READ A: POKE F,A: NEXT F 1005 RETURN 1010 DATA 60,126,219,255,189,165,165,36 (remember graphics mode for the A on line 60!)
Bubble Bobble. Yie at kung fu. RoboCop. I'd do a top seven too but my memory is about as expansive as the grey 128k model we had… funny thing when I try and remember stuff I start making the same noises it made when loading.
Good game, but the C64 version was arguably better, since the screen scrolled rather than the flip screen deal on the speccy version. Also the C64 got the first Who Dares Wins, too.
my top 3 were back 2 skool , postman pat and dan dare. great games unless you were playing on a 48k and your hands cramp into weird claws due to the keyboard.
![[UA] NAVI vs MOUZ | BO5 | IEM Rio 2024](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CMBYk0cbGoA/mqdefault.jpg)
Jet set willi, Chuckie Egg and Manic Miner - power of ZX Spectrum IMO
There you go...... those 3 alone would make most people's top 10. Anybody to attempts to make a "Top 7" Spectrum games and leaves out Jet Set Willy needs to see a doctor because he obviously has some problems!
Marcin dizzy!!!! All of them! They were awesome games
Fun fact: it's impossible to beat the original version of jet set willy since a glitch in the code made the game unbeatable as it would mess up the rooms.
Laser Squad, I loved that game. One of the best games on Spectrum. Wondering why is not mentioned?!?
I still own original cassette and Speccy :)
One of my favorite games. i used to play it with friends by turns... i even had a bunch of comic magazines on a corner of my room for us to read while each one was playing his turn... lol, this brings me such good memories.
I'm with you buddy
Manic Miner number 1 for me ,my first game I played on the spectrum ,such great memories of the classic speccy
Awesome list. Awesome games.
Remember Way of the Exploding fist, Saboteur, a weird text 9nly game called Castle???
Oh and the Hobbit.
'You were eaten by a Troll, you have completed 0.2% of this game.'
RandyBot3000 😂 yeah the hobbit drove me bonkers!
I had to read a guide to finish The Hobbit. But man did it feel like a living world!
Personal favourites of mine (or at least the ones I remember the most) - Chaos, Rebelstar, Skool Daze, Formula One, Ninja Scooter Simulator, Saboteur, and the first speccy game I ever played, Oh Mummy
Nice ones my first speccy game was "attic attack"
Great video I dont evey you that task. That is an impossible task to name my top 7 Speccy favourates. Had a spectrum plus for 6 years had 100's of games. loved it ☺
My dad showed me that if I copied all the letters & numbers in the hefty book that came with the 128k, I could make PYRAMIDS appear on the TV!!!!!!1!!
And if I didn't mind spending about 3 times as long, I could add a fireworks display to the scene. I loved this (not the actual typing), but I realise now; it was just the ultimate child distraction. Hours upon hours of peace and quiet. Still, amazing what amazed us in 1984.
I never tried one game in your list :/
You ever played Chase HQ or Rainbow Islands as a kid?
Larry Bundy Jr chase hq was so technically impressive.
Larry Bundy Jr b
Lovely job sir. I remember Beach Buggy Simulator as I owned it!
Excellent video, very well put together.
Its an impossible mission to select just 7 games but I would have to have The Great Escape, Death Wish 3, Back To Skool, Trap Door, Turbo Esprit, Three Weeks In Paradise and Zoids.
Lotus Turbo Esprit was the top one for me.
Awesome game for me 2.
I don't understand why games like manic miner, chuckie egg and all the other generic platform puzzle games are heralded as iconic. No one I knew played them on their speccys in the 80's. The best games on the spectrum were outrun, chase hq, castle master, stunt car racer, dan dare, batman, run the gauntlet and gauntlet. These were all big action games that really showed off what the speccy could do. Back in the day It was all about mega block buster titles, big colorful graphics and pumping 128k music.
Because all those games are late 80s , well into the platforms life. Manic miner was '83 and amazing at the time.
Chuckie Egg was fun.
Spyhunter, Skool Daze, Commando and Bak 2 Skool were mine.
This video makes me want to buy a Speccy. Thanks !
Loved this video mate. Being a big Speccy fan as well. But like you there are so many to choose from my childhood. Would struggle with a top 7...! Got to say Trapdoor might be up there for me too ;)
Charrs! Boy, yeah, this was a toughie. I'm still debating over whether I got it right. I imagine if I played them all through, it would change.
Nostalgia Nerd Dizzy, Brian Blood Axe, Monty Mole, Jet Set Willy, Sabre Wulfe, Ghostbusters, Way of the Exploding Fist, Chaos, Paperboy, Gauntlet... the list never ends for me ;)
+interghost chaos brother!!! what a game. cast a real vampire and you are onto a winner.
steveetienne One of my all time fav games ever for any system!
+interghost that makes two of us!! you must have memories of casting turmoil and it crashing the game quite often.
Great list, Midnight resisstance was always my favourite spectrum. Game.
Great vid keep up the good work.
All opinions are different - my list would include Zynaps, Thunderceptor, Savage, Elite, Dan Dare 3, Dynamite Dan, Myth series, beyond the ice palace..., Astro Marine Corps series...
How can you not have Elite in there? It would have been my hands-down favorite, can't believe it didn't even make the list!
Yup, Elite, Lords of Midnight, The Hobbit, Hero Quest.
No 'Elite'? Did you lose the Lenslok? Also, what about the likes of 'Knight Lore', 'Underwurld', 'Atic Atac', 'The Lords of Midnight, 'The Hobbit', 'Laser Squad' etc?
great video and some nice nostalgia as well. i played some of those games on other systems, but didnt have any experience with the speccy until the emulation scene.
I still play Bruce Lee and also love the improved Bruce Lee Rx too, spoilt for choice with just so many classics from the good old speccy, Thanks for this mate.
love the videos u do... im an 80s kid just got a spectrum vega plug &play .. ohh the memorys
Spy vs spy, definitely a good number 1, must get it for my speccy, I only have the master system card version.
Fredy Hardest was one of my favorites... i even, (somehow without dying), taped a playthrough on a VHS tape... good old digital/analogic days of the 80's.
Great video. Loved the Speccy when I was a kid. Had a 48K and, later, a +2A. My top 10 games would be as follows:
Pipe Mania
Emlyn Hughes International Soccer
Rainbow Islands
Gauntlet
Out Run
Dan Dare III
Olli & Lissa
Rentakill Rita
Bobby Bearing
Treasure Island Dizzy
Now, I'm not claiming these games were the best but they are the ones I played the most.
I loved scuba kidz for the c64. And it had a crackin' sound track! The Platoon melody at the end of the video was a nice bonus.
I remember doing that sunset pattern thing.
Chuckie Egg, F1, Who Dares Wins 2, Bruce Lee.
Insanity. This isn't the best games ever - these are your favourite games. Best games ever that don't include Elite, Knight Lore, and Jet Set Willy, know NOTHING!!!
Oh my god Trap-Door BEEEERK !!! 😍😍😍 the first video game I've ever played... I was 4 years old when my father brought C64 with the floppy of Trap-Door and the two versions, look like exactly the same ! ❤
I did not expect to Trap Door reference. Loved that show as a kid.
Well i finished Bruce Lee when i played on Spectrum or C64. I think its not a difficult game. There are more difficult tricky games for spectrum for eg. Manic Minner, Yet Set Willy, Monty Mole etc.

Gunfighter, amazing game by The Shaw Brothers!
Impressed by the choice!
I love Shaw Brothers.
Namaste.
Love your vids, man! Always a blast.
Thank you for the memories.
(would just like to point out that, jetpack & TransAm were both 16k games, I feel this makes them special in their own right)
Nice to see your choice but you forgot Rambo II, Last Ninja II and Elite
Booty, Ant Attack, Commando, Rollercoaster, Wheelie.. the list goes on
Nice video, the sound volume changed a lot when you were speaking, besides that loved the top 7 ;)
Just when i couldn't get any more nostalgia you say Magdalen St in Norwich where i grew up in the 80's! What was the name of the other computers store in the back street near Jarrold's?
A few more... Saboteur, Nether Earth, Fruit Machine (check dat music) and Boulderdash.
My arbitrary 7:
7 - Way of the Exploding Fist
6 - World Class Leaderboard
5 - Bomb Jack
4 - Chuckie Egg
3 - Manic Miner
2 - Green Beret
1 - Jet Set Willy
So many Spectrum games were just wandering around looking for the X pieces of something. They had endless screens and impossible jumps. I soon got sick of the whole genre.
My main speccy game shop was actually Boots. Good old 80's.
One of the most nostalgic games I can recall was Back to Skool - the successor to Skool Daze.
I had forgotten this game until I saw a video featuring it yesterday. Looking for more memory access triggers ;)
Back to Skool and Skool Daze were such fantastic games. A virtual school in the Spectrum!? Blew my tiny mind.
Halls of the Things, Starion, Split Personalities, Thrust, Dark Star, The Way of the Exploding Fist, Space Raiders, Moon Cresta, Horace Goes Skiing, Manic Miner, Monty on the Run, Pssst, JetPac, Ms Pacman, Tornado Low Level, Starquake, Elite, Fairlight, Bobby Bearing, Cyrus IS Chess, Alien (not 8), Bubble Bobble. Okay that's more than seven.
He mentioned JetPac... Shame on you!
He also mentioned Pssst and Bubble Bobble. It's just a list of my favourites (in no particular order) on the Speccy.
Shit! 2 lives left...
Starion was my favourite. Amazing they got it to run in 48k.
Defo agree with Bruce Lee and Batman. Bruce lee was the first game I ever beat and possibly the only one on the speccy :) SpyVspy good too but there's so many everyone would have a different list.
Some of my favs:
Laser Squad
Skooldaze / Bak to Skool
Scuba Dive
Jet Set Willy
Match day
Frank Bruno's Boxing
Cyclone
love the channel mate :)
I know this is an old video but is there any chance of aN archimedes emulator step through to play zarch!
You of all people understand THE NEED TO PLAY ZARCH as opposed to VIRUS ON THE AMIGA LOL:)

You look a lot better at Dynamite Dan than I ever was :( Bruce Lee though, what a classic
Great list, my favourite is Starquake ahead of Jetpac 😀
Nice one. I used to love Jason's Gems and JSW
Gah! Software Emporium, totally forgot the name of that place, I got my first Amiga Hard Drive and Printer from there! One Step Beyond was awesome too, a complete jumble of things, but was jam packed and exciting to explore!
Attic Attak my first game, then manic miner and jet set willy
This made me play those games, I didnt eaven live when they where made!
You forgot about everything...
#1- Elite (Best of the best!) #2- Saboteur2#3- Prince of Persia#4- Boulder Dash...
Ah software emporium! Now theres a blast from the past! A veritabal Aladins cave of goodness! Though Magedalen always answered the call for secondhand media outlets:}
trailblazer, chaos, head over heels, target renegade, wiz ball (although far superior on the c64). ah man great memories
I agree with almost all of your choices. That is rare.
Something really intoxicating about loading up certain speccy games for a late night sesh on Dizzy or JetSetWilly
Tornado Low Level, Feud, Quazatron, Valhalla, Bionic Commando, Rastan, Batman the Movie, Target Renegade, Green Beret and R-Type were my favourites.
Niceee! R Type was a good'un fo' sure.
Wasted so many, many hours in TLL...
Software Emporium! Gone but not forgotten.
I'm frankly amazed that SQIJ isn't in your list ;)
batman movie was a masterpiece. dare I say it but better than the C64 version.
I think nobody mentioned these 5 good games: Fred, West Bank, Penetrator, Kong II, and Match Day II (the best 1-2 player soccer game for Spectrum). I also had lots of fun playing Target Renegade, Scuba Dive, Manic Miner, Commando, Jet Set Willy, Bruce Lee, JetPac, Batman, Moon Cresta, Phoenix, School Daze, Ant 3D, Rocky Horror Show, Tanx 3D, Missile, Horace (Skying, Eating and Spiders), Ikari Warriors, Pogo, Arkanoid, etc.
Ahh, Penetrator...
My friend had it, and whenever he allowed me on his Speccy, i spent WAY to much time fooling around with the landscape editor lol
Roberto Zedinho Ha ha.Whot about Robocop, Bignose in usa, R Type, Enduro Racer, Lode Runner, Hong Kong Phooe, Saboteur , Battle Ship, Bstman In the Movie, Off Road Iron Man, Dan Dare, Tennage Mutant Ninja .Speccy realy greate compute.
Roberto Zedinho Zynaps, Exolon,1942, Sim City,Batty, Rex, Gryzor, Joe Blade, Say Combat, Monty Mole, Monte Carlo Cazino, Renegade, Legion of Deach, Stalingrad.
Roberto Zedinho and ones more Dizzy, Tree Week In paradise, Dizzy rapid the river, Chase HQ, Pole Position, Elite, Eclipse, Popay, Zorro, Panama Joe, Bomb Jeck, Operatii Wolf.
Top ten for me
Robocop ahead of its time IMO
Bionic commando
R type
Treasure island dizzy (mad frustration)
Double dragon
Spy vs spy
Horris goes skiing
Bullseye
Tank simulator
Outrun
My favourite Spectrum game was a magazine cover tape game called Blind Panic.
Subscribed as soon as your 2nd preferred game is Trap Door.
Oh Dynamite Dan, almost forgot about this gem. The sound effects were really obnoxious though. Played in on MSX
You know that Bruce Lee is a 3 player game right?
I can clear bruce lee in around 10 mins. Very easy. I loved target renegade, spy hunter, barbarian, run the gauntlet , jetpac, way of the ex fist, bombjack. List could go on and on!
Peter, what was in the intro? There was Rambo. The man who walks across the road?
No Bubble Bobble, R-Type, Target Renegade...? Bruce Lee was good as a 2 player game too, it was great fun bullying the ninja!
Haha as soon as I saw that space invaders filling the screen I knew I had to write the same. Took 2 minutes. I also used to type stuff furiously out of magazines when i was 6/7 years old (and never really got much better) but at least I still know how to program in speccy Basic!!

Quirky choice. A great video.
Great video
Cough Cough I think you forgot Elite
Was the ZX Spectrum released in the United States?
I think it was made by Timex in the US.
I use to love quazatron, it felt unique compared to the rest of the games I owned.
Chase HQ, Dizzy, Breakout (arkanoid) and Ghostbusters were my staple... Not played any of these beauties.
a game i loved on the speccy that rarely gets a mention was swiv,
Anyone remember PaperBoy?
My Dad showed me the Budget Title Nifty Lifty, I love it. If you haven't played it give it a go!!
A spectrum game list without any spanish game?
Bubble Bobble. Yie at kung fu. RoboCop. I'd do a top seven too but my memory is about as expansive as the grey 128k model we had… funny thing when I try and remember stuff I start making the same noises it made when loading.
Damn, I thought Treasure Island was only on the Commodore Plus 4.
wot no Horace Goes Skiing ;-)
We have the same tape deck :P
Ah, a fellow Who Dares Wins II fan! :D
Good game, but the C64 version was arguably better, since the screen scrolled rather than the flip screen deal on the speccy version. Also the C64 got the first Who Dares Wins, too.
Who Dares Wins, the original, contact me if you got an original to sell, I'd buy it.... :)
H.E.R.O, chuckie egg, ms. pac-man, Rex. Great games
Moon Alert, Turmoil, R-Type, Automania, etc, etc, etc...
saboteur, rex1, neither earth, barbarian, dictator, atv !!
No Exolon, Chase HQ or Elite? Pffff.
No mention for Jet Set Willy - OR Chuckie Egg? Sorry, I cannot take you seriously.
cant remember if strangeloop was on speccy
And Ikari Warriors.
my top 3 were back 2 skool , postman pat and dan dare. great games unless you were playing on a 48k and your hands cramp into weird claws due to the keyboard.
Trap Door (the show) freaked me out badstyle.
