@@SebsPlaceYT I played it on a mates Amstrad CPC, was a fun game and I liked it. I got it a few years later on the Speccy (appeared on on of those magical C60s) and it was ok but just didn't have the same vibe to me.
LASER SQUAD!!! Absolute Classic. EDIT : Needs a remaster and release on modern platforms. As was, no messing about, just old LS with nothing added/taken away!
Great video as always. My observation is that it is pretty much essential to add anything by the late great Joffa Smith to the new Speccy and you won’t go far wrong. He was in my view the best Spectrum programmer ever.
It's a great game and one of the best to play with a joystick thanks to the "use fire to jump" mechanic. Any game that you had push the joystick up to jump usually played better on the keyboard.

Nice! I think opening on Christmas is a great idea! Double nostalgia hit! 😁 As for game images, spectrumcomputing.co.uk have a load as do a few other legit ones. otherwise it's murky sites.
My biggest regret. I actually sat 2 seats away from Joffa in an office once. At the time, I had zero idea he'd made so many of my favorite games.. The office was full of old-school game people.. Back then there was no way to know who was who in that sense. We worked closely together on a game once, I was a bit of dick to him as he couldnt get his head around 3d.. As I say.. I regret.
😥 ah mate, I can see why you regret that. I didn't realise until I got back into these games as an adult how many of my favourites were Joffa games. He was such a talent. Love the username btw 😀
Really looking forward to this. Had avoided using an Emu until now so this is going to be my first chance to get back on the speccy for decades. Hyper Sports (and California Games will definitely be going on). Sadly I never cold play Deathchase for some reason it always triggered an unpleasant sensation in my eyes and sinuses
Splendid video, Splendid choices! I would swap the amazing Laser Squad with another Gollop classic, Lords of Chaos. It had much more depth and is my favourite Gollop game and doesn't get enough love. Also, I'll actually be playing on the keyboard as this was how all my games were played on the Speccy!
@@SebsPlaceYT agreed! But I'm actually talking about the Chaos sequel Lords of Chaos that came out 1990! It was a huge multi level game with RPG elements. My favourite Gollop game and a wonder on the humble speccy!
Limiting to joystick-playable and freely available games limits my choices by a fair bit, but I'm going with: 1. Tintin on the Moon 2. Destructo 3. Lords of Chaos 4. Fantasy World Dizzy (would be Magicland but it's not available) 5. Deathchase 6. Maziacs 7. Zoids: The Battle Begins 8. Equinox 9. DRIFT! 10.

😂 thank you for having a good crack at it and more importantly being the first person to mention Dizzy which I feel has to have a game shoe horned in somewhere. Thank you, I'll add these to my list for part 2!
Too many of my favourite games require keyboard, although I did manage to redefine the keys on Starglider to use two joysticks via a multiport interface, throttle and missiles on one joystick, and direction and laser on the other. Thank the maker for the suckers on the bottom of a Quickshot II! I can't remember if these are playable with joystick only, but some games I might add include Cyclone, Xeno, West Bank, Carrier Command, WEC Le Mans, Target Renegade, Passing Shot, Nether Earth, Space Crusade and Chaos
As is usually the way, I come up with another list of games that I couldn't be without... Shoot-em-ups including Silkworm, White Heat, a run and jump shoot-em-up called Astro Marine Corps, rich with big colour graphics, and a game I preferred to Turrican, arcade fun in Pacmania and Power Drift, platform adventurers Dan Dare and Switchblade, cover tape puzzler Flashpoint, and Rescue-em-up puzzler Intensity, and the "I can't believe a Speccy did this game', Stunt Car Racer.
Not many complains about that rubbish rubber keyboard they decided to remake instead of replacing the membrane with a micro switches board, it will added 20 EUR to the price but finally you have a usable keyboard with a clicky sound ! I didn't knew The Pyramid, nice Jetpack spin. It seems that Jetpack inspired few of your excellent game selection ;) Yeah! Bruce Lee, the first game I completed too!

@@SebsPlaceYT Ooh, since there were loads of games before the mags came out, could you do a video of the best ones for people new to the Speccy who may have no idea they exist? :P

The great escape, Thanatos (where you played as a dragon was very cool), valkrye 17 as the text adventure, ikari warriors, Bruce Lee, way of the same exploding fist and football manager. Chuck in contact Sam cruise and school days and maybe pyjamarama and I’d be very happy
If they do it right, I think it can be a good way to get people back into spectrum gaming without the hassle of setting up something yourself or getting old hardware to work. Plus, the rubber keyed version of the speccy always looked cool 😎

@@SebsPlaceYT My list is a bit skewed because I also listed games that impressed on launch. Maziacs, Galaxians and Splat! But got overshadowed fairly quickly by more polished releases.

well the are three that always come to mind when I think of the dear old Speccy; Splat! Spectral Invaders and Penetrator. why because that was 1982 baby (OK technically Spat! was 83 but my local shop had an early release)
Still can't agree with praising Cobra. We had the discussion before, but again...This kludgy game can hardly be treated as tie-in. Apart from the graphics the gameplay leaves much to be desired as things are a bit too fast to smoothly plan the actions and react with you spinal cord😮
