January MMXX: ZX Spectrum Reviews

January 1, 2020

We’re kicking off the 20s with what basically is a whole month of ZX Spectrum reviews – Every day that isn’t a Saturday or Sunday this month, we take a closer look at a game for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Finding that somewhat balanced mix of true classics, hidden gems, undervalued oddities, and attention-stealing exclusives is always a headache and a migraine, but the final result was a list with twenty-one titles. (Not all 100% predictable ones… And nothing newer than from 1991!) And a little “intermission” about a certain delicate subject about halfway through the month…

The schedule:

1. La Abadía Del Crimen (200102)

2. Alien 8 (200103)

3. The Bobby Yazz Show (200106)

4. Contact Sam Cruise (200107)

5. Dark Sceptre (200108)

6. Emlyn Hughes International Soccer (200109)

7. Fat Worm Blows A Sparky (200110)

8. Hive (200113)

9. iD (200114)

10. Jack The Ripper (200115)

11. Lone Wolf: Flight From The Dark / Lone Wolf 2: Fire On The Water (200116)
