I only ever completed about two spectrum games ever, and I must have played about 1,000. Those were Attic Attac, Zorro and maybe... maybe Bruce Lee. Oh and Shadow Fire. Four then. My favourite game was, is Rebel Star Raiders (and the sequel, Rebel Star Raiders....2), oh and ... Marsport, but I didn't understand how people worked out what you had to do, like Tir na nog, it's all spurting out of me now, Tau Ceti... did you see on The IT Crowd, certainly the first episode, they had posters for "Underwurlde" and "Alien 8" on front of the desk... Spectrum... nostalgia... wasted... years.. looking.. at... tape... loading... which would then... crash. But yes, it's great you can get as frustrated with Manic Miner today as you did 20 or more years ago. |

yes rebel star was incredible. the smug joy of the snap shot and the horror when you lost a photon=] chaos was amazing also, made by the same guy Julian Dunlop i think, where you cast spells and then controled your monsters to fight other wizards. That site had loads of scans of your sinclair too, almost makes me want to grab by cheetah 125+ and shred my tendons playing daly thompsons super challenge again=] ahh...memories. |

I have to check out "Chaos" as I never heard of that, and, as I say, I was a big fan of Rebelstar... the snap shot POW take that you fucking robot, the Photon, only 2 turn points a pop, have it, have it, HAVE IT!!!!!! They didn't know what hit them, I FUCKED THE POWER CORE. Yes.... yes... yes I wish I still had my copies of Crash and Sinclair USer, I'll seek out some scans and get misty. Mistier. |

There's a site that has all that memrabilia. It was to too disturbing for me! I could smell the magazines. |

I loved them, the old mags, they had.. personality. I even used to get Zzap64, and I didn't even own a Commodore 64!!!!!!!!!!!! Madness!!!!! The tapes, typing in the programmes they used to print, ... all the great covers of the games that were in no way representative of the actual game but highly evocative none the less. THIS RELENTLESS NOSTALGIA when will I BE FREE? |

Never! I honestly can smell/taste those magazines just by looking at them. |
