Obligatory Speccy Christmas Games Thread 2009Mainly because I can't be bothered trying to find one of the old "Best Speccy Games to play at Christmas" type threads, I thought I'd start the inevi…
Atic Atac, Jet Pac and Manic Miner for me. They all remind me of Christmas '83 when I got my Speccy. -

I bet manic miner and jet pac still play the same though ;):smile: -
More colours II (Was: Most popular new features?)The suggested 4xCLUT multi-colour solution never took off.
The 256 colour Head Over Heels is one of the best ones. The conversion of Jet Pac to 256 is very good too, especially the background. -

I finished Atic Atac, Sabre Wulf and Underwurld and of course I went round and round in Jet Pac.
I got lucky with Sabre Wulf, the pieces spawned in some of the closest spots -

I finished the easy ones (Psssst, Jet Pac, Cookie, Atic Atac) I have never liked the filmation games very much, and for the rest, I wasn't very aware of them when I had the time and patience needed to progress in them. -

Like Zeropolis I would have said Trantor too. The only thing that throws me is the JET PAC part. I'm sure I completed Trantor and remember no such thing. -

At present I'm frying my ill-used brain with the basics of z80 assembler. So, must of my Spectrum (well, emulated Spectrum) time is currently spent on that.
If I'm playing games it'll usually be Jet Pac, Manic Miner, Booty or Exolon.
