  • Welcome to Episode 100.
    We finally made it - a one hour special.
    In this end of series episode I get my Spectrum online with the VTX5000 modem.
    I dig out my old Xbox and fire up the Spectrum emulator.
    I finally do the mammoth 26 minute Pacman clone shoot out!
    Geoff puts me through Desert Island Games.. and there are a few other bits too.
    Back for another ten episodes in January and I will be putting out an 'in between' show some time in December with various clips from some older Patreon videos.
    If you like the show, please consider becoming a Patreon subscriber and get access to Patreon only videos.

      Yes the centre of the maze opened up, allowing you to collect the power up, a clever idea.

    Gobbleman was my first Spectrum game. First owned game on any format. Still love it now. Regarding the instant death - When you respawn in the middle, just sit still for a few seconds while the ghosts wander off, then you'll be fine. The game works on a 'line of sight' principle. If you're in direct line to a ghost, it will come after you.

    Congratulations on 100 episodes Paul! I spotted an August 1984 Sinclair User Magazine in your section on missed magazine reviews, the very and only time I got my program published in the beginners section (Manic Axe). I got £10 for that aged 13, and went to Woolworths to buy a copy of Fred (also mentioned in this edition). Heres to the next 100 episodes !!

  • @count69
    @count69 3 роки тому +1

    Thank you so much for this series! It has kept me going, binge watching all the way from episode 1, as I recover from serious injury! Loved every minute of the trips back to my childhood!

  • @Inaflap
    @Inaflap 3 роки тому +1

    It's not a clone, but Escape published by New Generation Software in 1982, was likely influenced by the Pac-man craze. In a randomly generated maze, a stick-man is frantically limping along with an axe, as he tries to evade some well animated dinosaurs. It's sort of the Shining meets Jurassic Park.
    Of the bare-faced copies released back in the day, I'd also pick Z-man by DJL. The character movement slows a bit at times, but the game play feels spot-on, and the sounds are good for the beeper only Speccy.

    Hi Paul, what a great show and you’ve reached 100 episodes; well done 👍
    I grew up with the ZX Spectrum and my first game was Haunted Hedges as you featured, so brought those nostalgic memories back.
    I’ve spent the last few years writing an 8-bit game called Space Walkers for the 6502; so try to keep my hand in where I can.
    Look forward to the next ten episodes and to support you, I’m heading over to Patreon right now.

    Congratulations on these first 100 episodes. Not only they have been very interesting to me as a Spectrum fan, they are very well produced as well. On this episode I enjoyed a lot seeing the humble Spectrum connecting to the world in 2020. And through a modem made specifically for it nonetheless. Thank you for all your videos!

    Thanks Paul. I’ve spent the last couple of months binge watching these hundred episodes, and I’ve learned a lot. Have several speccys in the loft including my original boxed +128 from my childhood which never gets used (I have another one for general use now) and can’t wait to get my Next hopefully in 2021.
    It is a shame though for a computer that sold millions you’ve got so few subs. You deserve more and I also respect your position on advertising, YT are really aggressive these days on ads. I would encourage anyone who has the means to bung a few notes your way.

      @Baekstrom 3 роки тому +1

      @@BuckingTheTrend2008 No. What I meant was that I like that there is a Spectrum Show episode once in a while, but not too often. It is like a little treat every time there is a notification about a new episode (a bigger treat this time). If I got more Spectrum related news all the time it would be too much. I like to get updated about current news most of the time, but it is also nice to be taken back to my childhood once in a while. By the way, Manic Miner would definitely go on my top ten list, and Cookie too, but I guess that is because those were some of the first games I had, and not because they were actually good games. Atic Atack on the other hand belongs there because it is a solid good game.

    Paul Jenkinson, for this 100th milestone.
    Am so pleased you carried on, after nearly quitting, on episode 40 (Magazines).
    Never knew that, and so here we are.
    Have enjoyed every episode.
    Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how long this episode was.
    Watched the Pac Man segment in 2 sittings LOL.
    Never knew there were so many clones.
    And the chats with Geoff are amazing to listen to.
    I look forward to seeing what you and Geoff are going to do, with the Next (Excuse the Pun) generation of Speccy machine and software.
    All the best to you Paul & your family.
    And of course to you Geoff & your family.
    Take care Guys.
