Spy vs Spy? Great 2 player fun on multi platforms. Also we loved the game whose name eludes me - sci fi setting, turn based, top down maps, control a team of mercenaries, each with differing skills. One was a spherical floating bot called Maul. We often figured out how to turn 1 player games into 2 players by sharing the tiny keyboard 🤓

(i look back at some of the uploads on youtube and wonder to myself how on earth did i complete these things , good times lol)

Even with emulators I struggled with a lot of the games I loved back in the day and most of them just gathered dust until I got my hands on a Kempton joystick and dug them back out because of the awful rubber keyboard, I'd moved on to more powerful machines by the time the newer models with real keyboards start to drop so I never really got to give a games a chance, that said even now a game I still go back to, and even have it installed on my phone, is Lords of Midnight, if one game has stood the test of time to be more than just a nostalgia trip it's this one. Honourable mentions go to Kevin Toms Football Manger, TLL, Ant Attack, and of course Manic Miner. But ultimately Lords of Midnight is the one that stands out, how they managed to fit it onto the 48k speccy still never ceases to amaze me even forty years later. I left school in 83 and got a YTS place between that and doing odd jobs at an allotment I saved and bought a C64 and thought I'd moved on from the Spectrum then Lords of Midnight dropped so I dug it out just to play this game then again when it dropped on the C64 along with the sequels. People talk about Ultimate and Ocean for their games and rightly so but for me Beyond Software with Lords of Midnight is to the Spectrum what Elite was to the BBC micro. RIP Mike Singleton.
@ClassicReplay
@ClassicReplay 9 ай бұрын
Very interesting, I had to read it twice to take it all in. I’m not sure how many people actually knew how to play Lords of Midnight. I think where programmers fell down in the past is that in the beginning of these types of games they should have held the players arm a bit before unleashing them into their fantasy. The original rubber keyed spectrum wasn’t so much a pain to use, the keyboard layout and combination of keys you had to use didn’t always make sense. Try playing Jetpac without a joystick, almost impossible as things ramp up. But I’m with you, if you give LOM the time and can get your head around what you need to do, it’s a real sight for sore eyes.

If you invest the time into Mercenary or Elite, same with Tomahawk or Gunship or any game of that style. You realise after deep play that these are the best of games and were massively ahead of their time. If updated today, with PC/PS5 power thrown at their original design in terms of graphics and sound with newer control schemes, they would still play beautifully and give anyone a challenge.

Alien Storm - I've never liked any version of this game. The weird awkward shooting mechanic where you sort of fire straight, but then fire down when near an enemy just always felt sloppy to me. Elite - I played this for hours on my C64. All the 8-bit ports were pretty good. Shame the Amiga and Atari st versions were inferior. Fast, pretty graphics, but it feels soulless. Stunt Car Racer - A rare example of a game where I don't think there was a single bad port. Rodland - Not that I'm good enough to do it, but apparently if you beat the arcade version, it then tells you how to access a second set of levels with all new graphics and enemies. This is missing from all the home ports. :(

I'm okay with most of the list, I'll even give you "Stunt car racer" based on its technical achievement (even if i didnt like it)... But i'm TOTALLY in disagreement with Outrun.. That game was awful! I think you're the first person i've ever heard say it was good! I've never played Turbo Outrun, but I suspect you're wrong there too 😉 *wink*

I can’t recall the specifics of what I said, but if referring to R-Type Speccy conversion, it was originally released and missing the last level, that wasn’t fixed until its budget release some years later. Apart from that, at the time, it was the definitive 8bit experience outside of the arcade. I think the Amiga version bettered it and then later other versions came along. But I think that’s what I would have been referring to…
