More tunes.. more dancing Seb please 😂 awesome vid as ever 👍

Completely agree the speccy version was solid, then again I found the arcade version difficult. Just wanted to throw my 10p piece at anyone who made it look easy.

Great vid and cool intro! What a shocking selection of games haha. Given how popular Skool Daze was, you'd think programmers would have been falling over themselves to come out with something vaguely similar to capitalise on its success (apart from the shoddy efforts in the vid, that is)!

Played a lot of the demos and full games back in the day. I'm sure Rebelstar 2 was one of them,which was a great free magazine game. Thanks for the great memories.

If it's specky in the bath please visit your GP ;-)

The C64 was the one i grew up with, but there was one major issue that arose the longer i had it - the huge blocks everything was made up from; when Final Fight released for Spectrum, the characters were detailed and recognisible, the C64 version looked NOTHING like. Obviously games like Turrican 1&2 proved the machine was capable, but it was a huge issue when games like Streetfighter had those ginormous blocky characters.

The guy who won the competition to complete the game programmed a very nice MSX version. Hudson soft release it in Japan and it was received very negatively and is remembered as one of the platforms worst games. It was considered too difficult and unfair even though the player was given twice as many lives

I used to play World Cup Italia 90 and with pretty much any team, but particularly Hungary, I could post double digit wins all the way to the final - record being in the 20's. When I play it again I just can't find the same flow I used to have where, with 3 kicks, I could usually get it in the exact place in the box where my forward would head it in every time. Same with NHLPA93, FIFA95 and so on. Yet I can roll back to PES6 and score endless goals.

I hate football but loved this game back in the day

Speccy version all the way for me Seb, still bloody brutal mind 😂😂

Excellent use of 'bobbins'.

I got that odd bundle with my Spectrum +3. It really was a weird collection of stuff. Thankfully I also got Short Circuit & The Great Escape in the box too which redeemed it a little.

I don't remember ever seeing Congo Bongo in the arcades, but I like the look of it and it's pretty impressive for 1983 🙂

My brother and l played out an entire World Cup on Match Day ll. Not just the Finals, l mean playing every single qualifying match across the globe! Took us ages, and l still think we ended up with 'Brazil' vs 'Argentina' in the final! Fun times! 😅

More Spectrum games should have employed this black and white colour scheme. It's so much sharper than the typical horrible colour schemes of most Spectrum games. Amstrad graphics 21/25 which is one point less than you gave Bruce Lee. Robocop's graphics are far better!

Amstrad 22/25 for graphics? It's one of the worst looking games I owned on the CPC!

English reviewers consistently rate Spectrum versions above Amstrad versions, which I find incredible. To call the Amstrad version dated when the Spectrum version is in four colour mode is just crazy imo.

I had the BBC version and IIRC after level 2 it would just reset the computer. I remember back then thinking seemed incomplete. Either way, I didn't care as it was the few arcade ports on the system.

This was a brilliant game on the mighty C64...and was one of the very few games that I actually completed - or rather, could be completed. There was something enormously satisfying about saving those hostages. I am surprised at the Amstrad effort...I would have expected something at least as good as the Spectrum version. How they thought that strange, delayed scrolling was acceptable, I will never know. 😂

Great video, really interesting to hear the story of this one. And your knowing pause at the mention of the lingerie section made me laugh 😄👍🏻

I really need to try this at a faster speed.

Loved Matchday and this was a really good follow-up. It's the best footy game I played on the Spectrum (I never had the chance to check out Emlyn Hughes). Amusing to watch your speeded up games too 😄👍🏻

Great video again- thank you.

You should have play the Thomson MO5 port, it's like the ZX port, but without sound and even slower than the CPC port. Jumping take FOUR SECONDS to achieve (10 if the screen is scrolling). I don"t remember getting to stage 2, it was so boring and frustrating. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ-2mn6Ah9qsrKc

Enjoyed seeing these...the only one I played was Critical Mass, which was pretty cool at the time. The others passed me by!

Really interesting! The guy evidently had some talent, so it makes you wonder why he didn't just program his own stuff. Can't believe he continually tried to make out Crime Busters wasn't a copy 🤦🏻‍♂️

Some absolute shockers here. Games like Kosmik Pirate seem to be a straight up attempt by the publisher to steal people's money...shameful. The fact that the blurb on the cassette says the game 'provides unending enjoyment' is even more insulting. Fun to watch you trawl through 'em though!😄

Fantastic video! I'm really enjoying this channel. Say, do you have a Patreon or Paypal link so I can help support it? I'd love to contribute so that you can produce more videos.

Probably C64, Nicer colour palette on the Amstrad though

I still play Commando and Cannon Fodder on the C64 (on a RG35XX)

Enjoyed this and a number of your videos lately...will definitely watch more 🙂👍🏻

I totally agree, definitely the greatest football game on the speccy. Your English mate, you aren't meant to be any good at football.

I just want to say thank you. I watch all your videos and enjoy them. To hear you talking about spectrum games takes me right back to the 80s as a teenager again. Thanks Seb

Matchday 2 was my favourite game

I'm just sad we didn't get the 'de-skidmarking the toilet bowl' simulator.

Football game of the 80's was Tehkan world cup in the arcades. How could the home systems ever compete with probably the best football game ever made🤔

Before watching, the best ever was that Breakout clone that I don't remember the name of - it had a yellow background. Shrug.

Love it. Laughed a lot at this one 😂 I had an Acme Lawn-Ace. Did a good job of the garden for me.

I like big butts an´ I can not lie. You otha brothas can´t deny……… Throw on 😀 I like my football games back from the old 2600 days up to the PS2 I find these days I struggle with games I mastered at a younger age. Driver is one on the PS1. I suck at it now

match day origional played against my brother in 80s maybe one of first soccer games ever

I never placed MD2 that much, I also found it (as a kid) tricky to win at. The original however I was a bit of a wiz at, and I think it was my favourite (not that I'm a big footy fan). Those red socks and that slow strut were iconic. But and its a big but, you deffo have an interest in but(t)s

It's not just you, I can't complete Sorcery on the Amstrad CPC any more 😢

The speccy version’s good, but the best version of this game is on the C64 - more colour & kick options. Play it on an emulator at twice the normal speed & it’s a really good little football game. I still play it at least once a week.
