I think the old Sega Master System-pads should be compatible with the Spectrum. They worked fine on Amiga which has the same pin layout as the Spectrum kempston/sinclair ports.
I don't think it matters whether you use kempston or sinclair. -

Stupid bugs in gamesDid any one discover bugs in any game. I found out in Football Manager 1 you can sell all your players and still play matches (and even win them)
Killing the end boss in Cobra with the invincibility power-up was always fun.
That was until you realised the game couldn't end after you'd spent 1/2 hour looping thru the level!! -

I think Cobra is superb, and it was sideways scrolling too, generally considered harder than upwards scrolling a la Commando. -

It's okay to say that about Uridium, because the article is from a C64 perspective, and that's fair enough. It would be the same thing if a Spectrum owner did it, except it would be full of C64 disasters like Paperboy and Cobra etc etc.
