Default Re: Sinclair Spectrum considerations

Those games bring back memories! I remember the names of all of them, not so much the actual games now though!

They certainly improved with time. There were the initial simple 'hits' like space invaders, manic miner, Horace, Atic Atack, Punchy, Chuckie egg, Daley Thomson decathlon (the famous keyboard wrecker!) etc. Then by the late 80s they had got more sophisticated, really showing the limitations of the system. I think some of the final ones I had were: R- type, Tiger Road, Out run, Robocop... many of which were so-called 'multi load' games where you went back to the tape loaded successive levels into the memory !
The 128k versions had better sound.
