10 Games To Add To The Spectrum Chosen From Your Comments

[@troxeh.]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned previously but Booty by Firebird, excellent game 👌

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@troxeh. Spoiler alert... You may see that soon

[@markknight7499]

Nice video. Loved Rebelstar and Treasure Island Dizzy when I was a kid. Get well soon!

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@markknight7499 thank you very much for the compliment and the well wishes

[@PlattLineker2Pen]

Great video. I was one of those who championed for Treasure Island Dizzy. It's fantastic. Yes, just one life to do everything. One mistake and it's game over. You need to be perfect. you have to get accross that water on the boat, but once you do you also need 30 gold coins. Now that's HARD. But I did eventually do it. Looking forward to playing this again in November

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@VEGANVANIA 🤣

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@PlattLineker2Pen I may be coming to you for tips if I do this Dizzy playthrough! 🤣

[@PlattLineker2Pen]

@YouveBeenGamed 😂 No problem!

[@barkingboyuk]

Good video. Operation Wolf was the 1st game I ever played on a ZX Spectrum 😀 Hope you feel soon!

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@barkingboyuk thank you! It's a fun game, really enjoy playing it

[@phyreztorm]

Another great list. I was going to mention the Dizzy franchise of games and here one is. A couple of recommendations I can think of are Super Robin Hood and Worse Things Happen at Sea. If anyone is interested but doesn't already know, a pretty fun version of Dizzy came out for the sega megadrive/genesis. Steam has a sega megadrive collection and there are fan added games in the steam workshop. Dizzy is one of the games in the workshop. Thought I'd mention it for more retro gaming, albeit a different platform.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@phyreztorm thank you for your kind words and thanks for sharing that information too. It's awesome that the retro gaming community is alive and well in 2024! Never heard of Worse Things Happen At Sea. I'll have to look that up

[@phyreztorm]

@@YouveBeenGamed You’re very welcome. Worse Things… was my Sister’s favourite game on the speccy. I’ve thought of another game since, The Deep, one of my faves.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@phyreztorm Oooo The Deep, I remember that one!

[@PunkRockLifer]

So many great games that I'd forgotten and these are mostly brilliant. What about Outrun and Afterburner? I'm surprised they've not come up yet and also Scuba Dive was a personal favourite

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@PunkRockLifer thank you. Like I said previously I could add a thousand games and still miss many people's favourites. The Speccy was just that good

[@ThePtersues]

Everyone's a Wally! iv been trying to remember the name of the game and all i could come up with was a red phone box and the red lion pub. Thank you so much!

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@ThePtersues ha I'm happy I could help! Such a fun game

[@shiftybea]

Treasure Island Dizzy is excellent, can't wait to play that again. I would also like to play Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats, Yogi Bear and the Greed Monster, Fast Food, Hong Kong Phooey, Superted and Bart Vs the Space Mutants. All for nostalgia reasons.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

Some absolute cartoon classics there! I'll have to check some of them out myself

[@SpurryMcSpinfish]

Great vid, going to resubmit my vote for Monty Mole, Ghosthunters and Joe Blade 😉

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@SpurryMcSpinfish thanks my friend and all I can say is noted!

[@SpurryMcSpinfish]

@@YouveBeenGamed Thank you sir 😊

[@Chriscuit]

Cliff Hanger was a great one for me

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@Chriscuit nice choice!

[@DavidSThomas77]

Surprised to see that Carrier Command came out on the spectrum..! I was more aware of this classic on the Amiga (or Atari St as I had). To be honest back in the day I never got very far in it, but used to love it..!

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@DavidSThomas77 yeah it's a big game! I'm surprised they got it to run on the Speccy so well

[@troxeh.]

I played OperationWolf on my +3 with the Lightgun (still have it). There is also a game that came with the Action Pack named Rookie which iirc was excellent… it’s been that long 😂

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@troxeh. that sounds so cool. I bet it's awesome on the light gun

[@nunobhgmcb5287]

I wonder if it will be possible to speed up the games like in the NEXT/N-Go. Some of my favourite games back in the day are a bit sluggish (Match day II, Saboteur II), and could use some speeding up.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@nunobhgmcb5287 you could alter speeds on the A500 mini so it might happen

[@nunobhgmcb5287]

@@YouveBeenGamed Fingers crossed, mate.

[@johnwiesen4440]

I will put Elite 128K on it plus some of the CRL ones.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@johnwiesen4440 nice!

[@jaysmith2858]

The definitive version of Bruce Lee was the one for the Atari 8bit line of computers.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@jaysmith2858 never played it so for me it's the C64 version, but maybe someday I'll get to try it

[@jaysmith2858]

@@YouveBeenGamed The Atari and C64 versions are very similar. For me there's just something slightly 'off' with the C64 version, and as surprising at it may sound (please excuse the pun) I prefer the audio of the Atari version. Each to their own and all that. All the different versions of Bruce Lee were great, I just enjoyed one a bit more than the others. I also had the Atari version of Amaurote. I've played the Spectrum version, and whilst I can't remember too much about it, I do know that I again preferred the sound of the Atari Version.

[@stewsretroreviews]

Some classic games on there dude, Bruce Lee is one of my faves. I've reviewed both versions but Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee RX on my channel, which has better looking graphics, totally recommended both versions 👍 Operation Wolf is a classic on the speccy too, enjoyed dude 👌 Hope ya getting better mate as well.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

Thank you it's a lengthy process sadly but I'm hopeful I'll be relatively fighting fit soon! Thanks for your kind words on the video, I'll be sure to swing by your channel sometime

[@akink9620]

Cauldron and the very frustrating Vampire Killer

[@YouveBeenGamed]

I played Cauldron but haven't tried Vampire Killer

[@PunkRockLifer]

Loved Cauldron

[@LEXIXON]

Batty * Tapper * Ed-on * Galaxians * Exolon * Tetris 2 * Sir Fred * Maziacs * Tanx * H.e.r.o * Zenji * Kane

[@YouveBeenGamed]

some excellent games in that list for sure

[@thealbion73]

What about Knight Lore?

[@YouveBeenGamed]

it's a great game and I added it myself in an earlier list

[@spartan.falbion2761]

Captain Blood, Tapper, Fat Worm, Rolling Thunder, FairLight, How To Be a Complete Bastard, B-Movie.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@spartan.falbion2761 nice games. Fairlight is included on The Spectrum btw

[@TheGazzaevo7i]

So can you add your own roms? I was under the impression if you want to add games only way is to buy from an official store

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@TheGazzaevo7i you can add your own. I'll be doing a video on this once I finally get my hands on one

[@dreamkatcha]

I'm not sure it's possible to appreciate Dizzy games as an adult with no prior experience. You have to grow up chipping away at them with none of the modern distractions and responsibilities to contend with. Point and click adventures likely killed the concept and it's hard to forget they exist now.

[@PlattLineker2Pen]

@dreamkatcha Totally agree. Had to chip away, frustrated as hell on some occasions. Then one person you speak to at school has that little nugget of info you need (eg.drop Axe on rope bridge) to get onto the next part. The eager anticipation on way home from school, that 6 mins to load the game seemed to take an hour. Then you're in and away, onto the next problem. Aah, brilliant. 47 years old here and I'm far too excited for November when this thing is released!! Haha

[@ThePtersues]

@@PlattLineker2Pen i feel this so much, i don't think i ever completed a dizzy game as a kid, there was always some hurdle, but with the saves and the prince of persia rewind time its time to settle some unfinished business

[@rooty]

Same with Zelda. Practically unplayable with the modern social landscape, the internet, and the pure garbage that is adulthood.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@rooty love that last line! Being a kid was so much fun

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@dreamkatcha @PlattLineker2Pen @ThePtersues I'll definitely take your word on that, although I've promised a play through now! Might have shot myself in the foot there!

[@tonyp3824]

Dizzy play through PLEASE!

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@tonyp3824 I'll see what I can do!

[@TheTimeProphet]

Can't believe you missed Exolon and R-Type

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@TheTimeProphet well I had to pick 10 out of around 300 so the odds were high I'd miss a few 🤣

[@SuperMoleRetro]

What does "everyone's a Wally" mean? What is a Wally?

[@YouveBeenGamed]

"You wally" is an informal British term used to describe someone as foolish or stupid. It was popularised in the 80s in comedy shows like Only Fools And Horses etc.

[@stuartsinclair6269]

I’ve played none of them🤣

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@stuartsinclair6269 you have some catching up to do 🤣

[@rooty]

What do you mean add to the spectrum? You mean games to PLAY on the spectrum?

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

Yes, add via usb stick to the Spectrum, November.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@rooty if you scroll back about 10 videos you'll see there's a Spectrum being released by Retro Game Ltd in November. It's games to add to it when it comes out

[@shiftybea]

No, "add" is the correct word in this context.

[@BigJohn5662]

I used to have a walk through for Treasure Island Dizzy. Just can't remember which mag it was in now.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

I'll have to try and track that down before I attempt this!
