I remember playing all these as kid. This and 1987 were probably the best years for Speccy. I wish we could get so many quality games for modern systems every year.
Great year all round ! Discovered Gauntlet in the local arcade and became a legend 🤣.Firelord and Dan Dare were big favourites of mine in 86. I think I had Aliens and Scooby Doo that Christmas. Probably the last year I got Speccy games as a Chrimbo prezzie, I was 18 the following year and got socks 🤣
Loved Movie and Asterix. Asterix had quite a lot of nice colors. Moon alert, Ping Pong, Bomb Jack 1, Nodes of Yesod, Target Renegade, Head over Heals, Attic Attack, Wheelie, Commando, Bug-a-boo, Trantor, The Trap Door, Dun Durach, Trashman, Travel with Trashman, The Great Escape, Booty, Turbo Esprit, Moon Cresta, Space Raiders, Dizzy, Joe, Academy, Elite, Commando, Fox fights Back, Hypersport, Daley Thompsons Decathlon, Inca Curse, Ship of Doom, Tower, Formula 1 (Manager), Denizen, Ant Attack, Alien 8, Moon Cresta, Sabre Wulf, Firestorm, Silkworm, Underwurld, Fantastic Voyage, Knyte Tyme, Finders Keepers, Pyjamarama and my all time multiplayer favorite BLOODWYCH!
@@retrononame I remember when one of the magazines, probably Your Sinclair published the maps for the various worlds. That was it, life over for months. I think I eventually managed to finish the game with a POKE for infinite lives. What a game 🙌
These were the golden years of gaming, concept wise! So many bangers released just in one year on a single system. Would like to see anything close to that output these days right now! So different yet so good games! Thanks to the OP for reminding us of all that! Was '86 the most fruitful year for the Spectrum or would '87 take the crown?
For me, it's actualy 85/86 that are the golden years for the Spectrum gaming (followed closely by 87 and 88 which were also fantastic years with some great games released). After 88, the decline started in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
It's amazing what they managed to do with the Spectrum with such limited hardware and the processor doing all the work, more recently they've amazingly even got multicolour engines to work around the colour clash problem.
Apache. The only and the best flight simulator for Speccy. Yeah, I know, SF Harrier and all this stuff. But Apache is the best and the only. PS. Elite is not a flight simulator :)
No, not really. Nothing too "scientifically" is involved in the selection - just a personal preference and a bit of research for those systems that I wasn't so involved with back in the day. Thanks for watching!
I think 86 was really one of the best yrs for the speccy here, some absolute classic games here, so many memories, thank you.
Agreed
And thank you for watching!
Trap door, turbo esprit, the great escape, dynamite dan, batman ,.. Cobra was nice too. Lots of absolutely historic masterpieces

Agreed. Those were the golden years!
Thanks for watching
I was obsessed with Cobra back in the day
Finally The Great Escape, one of my favorite games as a kid
Spectrum games I loved were Infiltrator, Saboteur 2, Platoon, Gunship, Renegade, Nigel Mansell's Grand Prix
Nice list :)
'The Trap Door' is simply a Masterpiece and Don Priestley is like a fallen semi-god from heaven.
I remember seeing them big cartoon sprites for the first time!

Lots of quality titles you mentioned. Most of them are featured in other episodes ;)
Space Harrier was an incredible conversion. Batman & Head over Heels killed alot of my childhood.
Magical titles 🥳🙌
Same with Head over Heels. Lost hours upon hours on that one.
@@retrononame I remember when one of the magazines, probably Your Sinclair published the maps for the various worlds. That was it, life over for months. I think I eventually managed to finish the game with a POKE for infinite lives. What a game 🙌
I never managed to finish it. But I plan to do that soon. :)
@@retrononame Best of luck, because that's a real challenge, although Batman was harder I think.
There are always POKE's if I'll get stuck ;)
Space Harrier. On the Spectrum. On the same computer where 4 years before you just had an endless horde of crappy Pac Man and Space Invaders clones.
Amazing conversion Space Harrier considering the hardware.
I remember playing so many of those games. Thank you for the nostalgia :)
I'm glad you liked the video.

Oh, it's Knight Tyme. I really liked that one.
Awesome video, subscribed👍🏻👾
Thank you!
сколько прекрасных игр было уже в 1986 я и не знал, большую часть вижу впервые
Excellent mate, some great memories here 👌🏻
Remember great games, almost superior engineer. Run in network with freebsd Unix, beginner advanced C/C++.
Great video 👍🏻
Thank you !
1985 onwards is peak Spectrum
Наконец то алгоритмы Ютуба выдали что-то годное
Thank you for saying that. I'm glad you liked the video.
@@retrononame отличная подборка игр! Spectrum forever!
Apache. The only and the best flight simulator for Speccy. Yeah, I know, SF Harrier and all this stuff. But Apache is the best and the only.
PS. Elite is not a flight simulator :)
The era of monochrome games in zx started 🤦!
Did I miss it or was there no Spindizzy?
You are correct. I seem to have missed Spindizzy and yes, it probably should be on the list as well.
Thanks for watching!
Is this based on units sold?
No, not really. Nothing too "scientifically" is involved in the selection - just a personal preference and a bit of research for those systems that I wasn't so involved with back in the day.
Thanks for watching!
@@retrononame That's cool. Anyway: "What no Batman?!" :^D
