Good/Bad Games RatioHi folks, What is your general feeling about all the games you've ever played on Spectrum, how many good games have you found compared to bad ones (…
I think the Spectrum started off in 82 with a ratio of about 1:10, rising to a peek around 84/85 to about 1:3 then gradually drifted back down to 1:10 towards the early 90s. -

Psion left the spectrum market around 84/85 and went on to manufacture palmtop computers. As far as I know, the company went into liquidation last year, but I'm not entirely sure about that.
