Essential Games for the ZX Spectrum

Essential Games for the ZX Spectrum

The Sinclair ZX Spectrum was by far the best selling 8-bit computer in the 1980s. Whilst not blessed with the same processing power, sound capabilities as the Commodore 64, its cheaper price gave it a bigger impact in working class homes. In this painstakingly compiled guide, you’ll find a list of 'E ssential Spectrum games' —titles that no self-respecting collector should be without. From genre-defining platformers to innovative text adventures, from budget gems to excellent arcade machine conversions, these are the games that (in my opinion, at least) captured the magic of the era. Printed in full colour with two screenshots of each title and a description of each title, it is an excellent trip down memory lane to a time when games were simpler, yet just as rewarding as the ones today.
