I like the Amiga version best too. Mainly because of its audio.

what about the surf game?

what an awful lot of great memories! and reading these comments bring all the more of those... to all of these I would add the full Ultimate Play the Game catalog, Spy Hunter, West Bank, Batman (Ocean), Quazatron & Magnetron, The Great Escape & Where Time Stood Still and Lords of Midnight & Doomdark's Revenge!

Smashed the shit out of green beret I think I was probably the master. Nightlore was another favourite and yes saboteur was Endless fun. Rambo 2, hypersports, gauntlet...the list never ends!! If you was lucky enough to own a spectrum there was never a dull day in your life.

Best version of Choplifter -- Sega Master System !! Congo Bongo was not a great game !! Worst version - Atari 2600. Some levels missing in some games - console just not powerful enough !! Dukes of Hazzard -- did not look good !! Frogger deserved a higher rating !! Gorf is just too similar to Galaxian !! Keystone Kapers for the Atari 2600 looked better !!! Don’t like Omega Race !! PitStop -- racing sections -- not good !! Robin Hood -- not looking good !! NES version of Spy Hunter was great !!

Great video ! I should have bought this !!

I played the arcade version of Carnival at a local ice cream shop, wait hold on, let me go to Google maps.. Yeah it's still there. Now it's called "Mona's eats n treats" in Grove City, Ohio. I must have been around 10 years old in the early 1980s. It was that or a Pinball machine to choose from.

Down to Earth needs a mention lol

You looked over the smurfs AMAZING graphics oh and Miner 49’r And there was a game where you flew a biplane and for the life of me I can’t recall

What music is playing at the start of this?

They weren't exactly the best, but I have fond memories of playing the Horace games - Horace and the Spiders especially.

Feud and Nebulus conspicuous by their absence. Also Penetrator - no, it's not a porno.

Wheres ikari warriors?

Ghostbusters for the win imo 👍🏻

Rebel Star.

Italia 90 was good

Night racer too. Even enduro racer was great 😂

There was too many great games. Platoon was ace. Alcazar was ace. Great escape.

Bruce Lee was amazing.

Thanks!

I 100% agree with you for 90% of those games, other 10% are games I've never played.

Anyone play Monty Mole, or Potty Pigeon? 😆 loved playing those, oh and then there was Deviants...... class for the era.

The list would have been much better done as a top 40 or something - annoying with the guy going 'this isn't my number 3/4/5/6 etc'

I had to wait until No.1 before I even saw a game I'd played! I guess I'd moved on from the Spectrum by the time the other games were out? I used to play Horace, Elite, Saberwolf, etc

Totally agree with Ivan Stewart off road racer, pure playability. I have to mention a shout out to another pure classic Target Renegade.

Chewits - the sweets released a very cool game with the monster destroying cities. I love it on the Spectrum. The best game that was on all platforms including the Atrai 2600 was Ghostbusters. The ZX Spectrum version was cool. I remember having a Transformers game that I was disappointed with. :-) Oh yes! RobCop was a great game!

I remember me and my brother getting the 48k for Christmas in 1982. My mum insisted we got a computer and not just a games console. Thanks mum.

No dizzy the egg 😮😢

I'm surprised you didn't mention KnightLore by Ultimate. To me, that was the most impressive game ever for the Spectrum.

Man I miss colecovision

awww Silk worm 4 "SWIV" was a classic. But i think my top picks would have to be.. Anything from the "Ultimate" collection, Head over heels, Fairlight ( back i nthe day i mapped the entire game, listed where every single item was, and where you should use it) F1 manager (you never actually raced, just looked after the pits and managed the teams) any of the "Wally" games, like pyjamarama. Kickstart/ ATV simulator (these were the precurser to all those "Trials" moto cross games on pc) and pretty much any game made by Durell (turbo esprit, saboteur) and Wheelie. But absolutely not "Clumsy Colin Action biker" (in association with KP Skips)

Can't believe the amount of times you irritated me saying "Speccy" the list was fine enough.

Lords of midnight Football Manager The Hobbit Manic Miner Jet set Willy, knight lore.

i remember back in the early 80s looking at video mags and seeing ads for games, and one thing they would do is show screen shots of a game across different platforms.. if you had a Coleco, you had the closest port of the arcade version of that game. always wanted one but didnt get to since i jumped from the 2600 to the NES..

It's 2025 and there are hundreds of dos games personally i think that they are better than today half scam games that sells for $70

Looping, Jumpman Jr., Popeye, Cosmic Avenger.

The SFX when you get a food item in Mouse trap recalls so many good memories from 40 years ago

Skool Daze and Back To Skool

Zaxxon was incredible!!

Oh yes ikari

I enjoyed this video and the comments so much, bought back so many good memories. Thanks to you all! Subbed. Rana Rama was a wonderful game, so glad it's on your list. My Top 10 (based on what I remember enjoying most as a kid) would be Dark Scepter, Wizball, Skool Daze, Rana Rama, Matchday 2, Elite, Bards Tale, Football Director, Bubble Bobble in any order. But my number 1 favourite game was most definitely Head Over Heels. Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond were geniuses.

Cpc had the best prince of persia :)

What was the amiga game where it was just a ball bouncing around a screen and you had to draw lines to section it off & get the area smaller?

I know I'm commenting on a 3 year old video, but I just wanted to thank you for this mini blast from the past. My personal favourite games on the Spectrum were the ones I could play for hours without having to dig out another tape! My top four were definitely Ghostbusters, Empire, Chaos and "They Stole a Million". Oh, if only they did a remake of TSaM!

In the day (1984), I have not seen any computer benchmark on TV. I say: this is a nice, high quality benchmark/discussion show. Congrats, UK television!

I had the U.K.s highest known score on Way of the exploding fist, it took nearly 9 hours of continuous play and the score was 3,398,000.

So... there is something that I don't understand... e.g. Any non-number-4 is better than the number 5? Shouldn't then ones of those non-4 be the number 5 instad of the one you picked?

Good list. I recall Aliens as particularly confusing and scary gramdpappy FPS & one where you played as a werewolf, tramsforming at night to eat people. 😊

Pitfall, Bagitman, Emlyn Hughes, pengo, zaxxon, blue max, yie ar kungfu, aztec challenge, burning rubber, frantic Freddy, hero, galaga, raid over Moscow, ghosts and goblins… man you missed so many.
