Countdown To The Spectrum - Day 12: Where Time Stood Still

[@stejcool]

I looked high and low for this game upon reading the Crash review but it was weeks before I found it in Boots and bought it on disc for my +3. Loved the game at the time because of the theme, role playing elements and day/night cycle. I remember the very first time I played it: I chose a very unfortunate spot to rest and all of the party except for Jarret were wiped out by a boulder that rolled across the screen out of nowhere. I completed the game eventually but can’t remember if all the companions survived. The greatest mystery of the game to me, however, was hidden in the Crash review itself. If you look at the waterfall screenshot, there’s a strange figure standing next to Jarret. I never ever found this figure in all the hours I played and wonder whether it even made the released version of the game…😮

@@stejcool ok that's really creepy! I assumed it was just one of the main characters! It's like there's a ghost or something! Really weird. That's a sad but also hilarious story about the boulder! That was the random sort of thing that could happen in this game! I think that's where the multiple saves are going to be a blessing! Thanks for sharing your story and congrats on completing the game

Haha, love this. Speccy games really were the best, random stuff could just happen anytime.

By 1988 I'd boxed up my Speccy in favour of discovering pubs, girls and beer. Never got to play this one back then. A second chance to try this one as I'm too old for pubs, girls and beer now! Back to the ol' Speccy games then! 😂😂

Could you do Barbarian 1+2 please...loved those two 👍

[@YouveBeenGamed]

@@mrprice3338 great games. They may make a list for sure

[@stevewardle4076]

I wonder - will the save function work for USB games and not just the games included with the "The Spectrum"? I've not seen any early-release previews of it yet,

[@YouveBeenGamed]

it does on their other machines so I'm 100% confident it will with The Spectrum my friend
