[james740i]

my favorite game before 15 years.

nice to see again and remember a lot of things makes me cry :)

[chindleymuffin]

Ah this brings back memories! The most annoying and yet the most addictive Speccy game I ever played, more annoying than Sabre Wulf! I've still got the map of the game from a Crash magazine (or was it Your Sinclair?) in one of my cupboards, along with a ton of games on tape! Ultimate became Rare Games Ltd, who made the ground breaking Goldeneye on the N64! :)

[Realmasterorder]

Although this does not compare with the Amazing Knight lore i liked it a lot as well :)

[SPINNYFUCK]

A good game, if very frustrating. I liked it as well.

[spacecoke]

this has to be one of the most frustrating games ever made, still loved it though lol

[coinslot1953]

Playing this game on my mates Spectrum convinced me to invest in my own Speccy. Probably my favourite game ever.

[SPINNYFUCK]

I played Atic Atac on my mate's speccy so that has fond memories for me as well. It was also a great introduction to Ultimate. Loved all their early games until Nightshade.

[gipgap4]

Bought Underwurlde & Knight Lore at the same time but this game was definately my favourite.

[SPINNYFUCK]

Knight Lore is my favourite but I played tthis game a lot as well.

[mintydog06]

A game where the enemies couldnt kill you, this was perpetual hell, but a great game, I loved the old Speccy.

[SPINNYFUCK]

Well they could kill you if they knocked you off the rope or a platform or the eagle carried you up in the air and decided to drop you. Apart from that, you are correct. lol!

[mintydog06]

lol yeah, it was annoying getting to the top of the cave on the bubble, only to be knocked by down, I always laugh when he dies though with his legs in the air.

[SPINNYFUCK]

I completed this once, many moons ago! I will find some footage of the game and put a bit of it up. Then you can decide for yourself if the ending is any good.

[reddair]

I remember buying this and Pyjamarama at the same time. Have you ever completed this game? Good ending?

[escociagirl]

My favourite Ultimate game was Atic Atac (Is that the correct spelling? lol)

[SPINNYFUCK]

You're probably thinking of Ant Attack by Sandy White!

[xpaul777]

No - Ant Attack was something different. Atic Atac was the first journey of Sabreman.

[SPINNYFUCK]

I was only joking mate, lol!

[zokikostic]

this is my best game ever, walk through the end, made map.... GREAT GAME

[SPINNYFUCK]

You definitely need a map for this game. It makes it so much easier. Cheers mate!

[VaNiL]

Thanks for bringing back memories!!

Amazing and pretty dificult videogame!

[SPINNYFUCK]

No problem mate! It sure was tough.

[kukumav443]

Respect and thank you so much for bringing back the fond memories beside those rubber keys...

[SPINNYFUCK]

Yeah! Great times but so long ago now. I guess I just never grew up...lol! Cheers mate.

[EvildeadCellar]

Strange they would program a Spectrum game based on Mike Baldwin's Sewing factory.....

[SPINNYFUCK]

This game was originally going to be called Baldwin's Casuals but someone burnt the mastercopy.

[EvildeadCellar]

Didn't think anyone would get the Coronation ST thing. Hehe. You get a gold star and a Crash Smash my Friend.

[SPINNYFUCK]

Heh! Your talking to an old Corrie fan from when they had good characters in it. It's too much like Neighbours nowadays.

[EvildeadCellar]

Agreed. I don't watch any soaps anymore. They focus on the youth too much now. A Security guard at work said he watches Hollyoaks on a Sunday morning in bed as he cant be bothered to get his porn mags out.

I'm blissfully ignorant of such notions!

[SPINNYFUCK]

Is that the same bed that's in the First Aid Room where he works while he grabs a few hours sleep?

[EvildeadCellar]

Yeah? You know him?

Then again it's hard to tell what he says. He speaks broken English at best.

Most times he comes to work at weekends on Security. Sees me on site and fucks off home till Monday. (i have keys) He now has his son getting paid for nights at weekends. i've never seen him. Anyhow live and let live i say. no matter to me.

[SPINNYFUCK]

So your doing two jobs while the man and son go to another job and get paid for splitting themselves over 4 jobs. Crack down on that mate. Well out of order. Work and let's get another job and just go home. If something happens on-site do you do the security as well?

[EvildeadCellar]

Hell no. Anyone comes on stealing can help themselves. Nothing to do with me. Legally I shouldnt even be there. They ask me to work but if I break my legs I'm out of work without a penny.

[SPINNYFUCK]

Sounds like a great place to work. A site with no security...lol!

[EvildeadCellar]

Never Mind. I have my cider and the entire night ahead of me. Just about to have a cider and review something. Happy times!

[SPINNYFUCK]

Now that sounds like a great night! It's a shame every night couldn't be like that.

[EvildeadCellar]

I know. Life cannot be perfect.

I am even have time to search Ebay for old Spectrum cartridges. There is a Trans Am cartridge going for £2345.34 with 8 days to go. Damn, Wish I had one...

[SPINNYFUCK]

I bet Lord Fawlty's kicking himself (or his Butler) for swapping Tranz Am for a Bentley!

[Fawltykog]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh the nightmares are returning!!...Quick jeeves rub me down with todays Times...

[SPINNYFUCK]

Tough game, but it can be completed without a cheat. If you don't know the layout you waste your time going back and fro wasting lives. Get Jeeves to guide you round using the map or even rub you down with the map when he tells you the wrong way to go...lol!

[EvildeadCellar]

Hey spinny wasn't Trans Am an Ultimate game? Fancy reviewing that one? I remember playing it for ages.

[SPINNYFUCK]

As a matter of fact I have been playing Tranz Am over the weekend but still need to work on it. Will put it up as soon as I'm happy with it.

[EvildeadCellar]

That's a coincidence...

Look over your shoulder. Is a masked poorly aminated face peering through your window?
