Skool Daze ZX Spectrum 48

[jamesspitfire]

who needs cod eh?

[lakepalmer]

Who indeed knows the capital of Leebria? Next week who knows the capital of Librarian?

[solarizedmonkeyman]

You can get this now on a free spectrum app on google chrome. I'm totally addicted 20 years later!

[mistofoles]

You can actually knock the other pupils out then jump on them while they're lying on the floor!

[zippL0ck]

I used to like changing all the names to people from my school and trying to think of people from school who would fit each character best lol .

Was funny getting grassed on by the snitch and then getting revenge on him at break time.

School daze 2 was even better, had stink bombs and frogs to scare girls with N stuff, Eeee great memories.

This was without a doubt my favourite Spectrum game, followed probably by

'The great escape' game .

[Pedossaurus]

Funniest game for Spectrum ever. Laughed a lot with this but never realised what was the goal...

[MrStewToobe]

Im sure this game turned pupils to bullies at the time.

[virofe70]

This game alone almost invented a genre...

[analoguehedgehog]

I had absolutely no idea what to do in this game. Still fun regardless.

[dave00dance]

i didnt have a clue what to do in this game but i loved it lol

[Gonzoidzz]

you could still get caned and belted in 82/83 when this came out. Made it more fun...

[morry27]

great game

[KeyboardKrazy49]

I love this game! the best game for the spectrum, I even got the up to date one (Klass of 99) that you can download feree

[EssexIrons]

I hated that teacher who resembled Blakey from On The Buses, he'd always catch me writing on the chalkboard or using my catapult to assault another teacher :(

[machst3m]

I am fairly certain that if I remember correctly, you can jump and break the ceiling light...can someone try this and let me know if I am correct? :)

[machst3m]

Wow, this brings back memories. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who remembers and played this..

[FeNsTa]

nice commentary ;)

[jeffrey44]

Wow. Its like you have never played this game before. "How do I sit down?", "Where is the library?"

[bugauga1]

Played this game endless hours on my C64 - i love it still today ;-)

[tonypap1]

Memories memories memories.......

I'm so glad we have clips like this on YouTube !!

[edmund184]

In the modern version he'd have a gun instead of a peashooter.

[Edam3000]

Lol ! - so true :D

[andy5gs]

yeah they shld bring it bk to xbox ps3 lol remember how frustratin it was too

[B1CUM]

good game used to paly this all the time! has anyone ever completed it tho

[FFFUUUCCCKKKEEEDDD]

Yes i completed but i cant remeber how it ended i can remeber : stink bomb, teacher opens window , jump out window , ride bike towards skool gate , stand on saddle , fly over gates , enter girls skool and you had to release the mouse to scare the girls and the teacher out of the classroom then you took a frog out the cage thingy and my minds a blank after that , and i've just realised im talking about the sequel back to skool , shit. . Both were great games though

[FFFUUUCCCKKKEEEDDD]

its coming back slowly it was whisky not a frog you then put whisky in the cups back at boy skool,shoot cups the falling whisky would drunken the teachers who would write a number on the blackboard you got the numbers off the four teachers ,write these on the blackboard in the right order and the safe would open i think you got the key for the biol. lab to get the frog, but i cant remember the significance of the frog , damn memory , plus i'm still talkin 'bout back to skool, I wanna play it now

[mojopin70]

just get speccy emulator online and go to world of spectrum

[BRAKESUK80]

i used to love this when i was a kid.where can i find it?

[mickeyleon123]

best game on the spectrum and quite possibly one of the first free roaming games. There was a story, but all I did was fight, bunk lessons, fire catapults at teachers and write rude messages till I got expelled. LOL Love this game.

[imjustatwat]

@mickeyleon123 aw fuk aye a did the same then a played the game wen a bunkd aff!

[alanlovedog]

great game - it's like the forerunner of bully - back to skool is a lot better though.

[ILLUMANOV]

YOU GOT A SHIT LOAD OF LINES THERE ^^

[alex76gr]

I think it's the stupidest game I've ever seen !

It's suitable only for death row inmates.

[abbamanic]

You played this one as badly as you did Heavy on the Magick!

[selectme5]

best to take your own seat next time lol...

this game brings back memories they don't make them like they used 2 thank god

[aquaph0nic]

This game looks ace, can't believe I missed it first time round!

[thighfungus]

There is a PC remake of this great game called KO99 (google 'klass of 99') it is really quite good..

[fanboy112]

Wow, it's like an early sims.

[y2markopolo]

this game were brill loved going to the girls part and getting told off by the teachers ,,, then pelting them with the catapult

[klye256]

can you give me link to this game..

[houtakiboy]

I enjoyed your review so much. Love your midlands accent, reminding me of my UK cousins. I used to have a Spectrum but lost it, or chucked it at someone cos they annoyed me. Either way its gone. But this brings back memories, even tho the closest I got to this game was Grange Hill. See you love Doctor Who from your profile. So do I. Matt Smith for 2010. Yaaaay.

[Freecell82]

I loved this game.

[danielhl22]

hoi''' nice accent!!!

[Gulftastic]

Mr Withit, the geography teacher could have been based on my own geog. teacher at the time.

[Terminator860]

Do you actually know how to play the game paul? lol

[technojunkie79]

lol what a game i remember u could write on the blackboard and punch the swot at the back of the class and if you got lines you got ur bird to kiss u and lines came down

[Electrozonelectronic]

I learnt loads of history playing this game.

[bullterrierSarajevo]

my favorite

[Razieluk]

Wonderful - review a game when you don't know whole to play.

[wubble78]

Ah, give him a break. How's he to know that he could've stood behind Mr. Withit for the whole geography lesson... or that he's supposed to pay attention in History. Actually I didn't even see him twat a shield. hrrm. and he gave the pac-land conversion 7/10. hrrm. actually no offense but come to think of it this reviewer needs a clue

[matywaldy]

Stay out of class and if the teachers stork u.cross them on the stairs they cant give u lines.Its very hard to complete mind

[offboundxxx]

i played in 80s lol...great game..

[chickadeedee789]

Paul, u aint brummie r u?

[fanboy112]

That's more a Dudley accent.

[chickadeedee789]

No it isn't...Paul is from Cannock

[fanboy112]

Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

[doild]

It's fun listening to a clueless Brummie reviewer!

I remember the game... but this reviewer has no clue on how to play it.

[bazfanv2]

the weird sounding dork is back again doing shit reviews.

[chickadeedee789]

if you dislike him that much why do u keep comin back 2 c them?? just answer me that? fuck off n dont watch them if u dont like them! saddo

[chickadeedee789]

y am i gettin the thumbs down????/

[fanboy112]

Stupid comments get them. I love thumbs down!

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

I just bought a speccy 48k off e bay but it's come with no tv lead. Can you still buy them?

[LAGERL0UT]

a normal tv RF lead shoul do the trick.

[orbcon]

man download an emulator, as far as i know all these games and the emulator is totally legal as they're in the public domain or something? (this don't apply to Amiga emulators mind u, u need to buy the ROM for those) google spectrum emulator.

Hope that helps

[yapira3d]

the best video i have ever seen

[Markyboy28]

your review is a bit crap cause u dont actually tell us what u have to do in the game lol. Even tho u do witter on lol

[ArnoldSwarzeneggar75]

I don't think he even knew himself lol

[ebeneezzer]

Brummie

[DetroitSoulboy]

Hit all the shields, then when they were glowing you'd hit the teachers to get a letter except the history teacher. For him, you had to pay attention in history and find out the date of a battle he asks. You'd write this on the blackboard and when he saw this, he'd release his letter. When you had all four letters, you'd write this on the blackboard and that would open the safe in the teachers lounge. This had to be done within attending classes and not letting your lines get to 10000.

[Zecifer]

I love this game, better than Back To Skool in my opinion which is far more complicated although it has a better scenario.

[littleNorwegians]

Got the C64 version. Music is a whole lot better.

[scraeder]

I hit all shields many yars ago, but what then ? The teachers say a letter, but what with it ? I'm so desperate, please help me !

[Texy88]

You need to get the letters from all teachers except Mr Creak, who will only reveal his letter if you write his year of birth on a clean blackboard; read what Einstein says happened in the year he was born during one of his classes. Once you have all four letters you write what you think is the combination for the safe on a clean blackboard, then jump up to the safe in the staff room to see if it worked.

[RG7621]

Isn't the objective of the game to hit all the shields?

[seancoppinger]

where can I find this game and Bak2skool playable online (Have tried JXspeccy but its never working. Would love to get the games with sound

[Jeet27]

you are meant to change your exam result to get an A by breaking into the safe. when i used to play this in 1989 i never ever managed it, but i was like 10 at the time.

[London1245711]

You're supposed to jump up and punch the shields for points.

[London1245711]

I could never understand school daze. What were you sposed to do?

[stevenc123]

Steal something from the safe in the headmasters office. You had to light up all the shields, then the teachers would end up giving you one combination for the safe. I think mr creek was different though and you needed to do something else with him. I didn't get it as a kid either but still enjoyed messing around in it.

[benjay79]

loved kissing the girl. great game! oh and the spetic tank who mentioned the apple - typical dumb yank

[Thraxwhirl]

I ADORED this game. Thanks for reminding us of it.

Btw, don't think me rude, but.... you ARE rather out of practice, aren't you? Lol.

I guess it's been a LONG time, eh? ;)

Thanks for showing it though. Brought back many memories. :)

[pifo]

Soooooooooo many hours wasted playing this game!

[b4uaskimagod]

please sir I can not tell a lie, I liked it.

Thanks for the memory.

[jeffrey44]

It is a great game but you are rubbish at it. It seemed like it was the first time you played it.

[EdZep123]

"Ok, cheers, mate" :) I loved this game. It's laughable by today's standards but all this was done in 48k...

[Lisanders]

This is my seat, find your own!!!

[SunshineMephisto]

This game had me addicted for years! What a blast of nostalgia. Some really fantastic memories! Cheers

[discostew1983]

my school wouldnt even let me go up the first floor let alone the third floor.

[Camelsarse]

Would love to see a clip of this game completed, I never got anywhere near completing it! Originally got this as a copy without any instructions!

[headlessness]

Oh man, you didn't mention the aim of the game! You're supposed to retrieve Eric's report card from the school safe before you receive 10,000 lines.

You're supposed to hit the teachers with your catapult (not pea shooter) while they're under the shields. Then you fire again while they're sitting down to smash the shield.

When all the shields are smashed you knock the teachers over so that they reveal their letter of the combination code.

And that's just the beginning...

[rainxxxx]

yeah but it dont tell you the order of the combination code

[headlessness]

You can delete what's on the blackboards.

[planetfrog]

classic game, thanks for the memories!

[Caspian237]

I thought that Back 2 Skool was the better game because eric got to snog Haley and get her to do his lines...but don't try to snog her too much cos she doesn't like it!! :o)

[tinkerbell00jenni00]

ur supposed 2 get the sheilds by hitting them or firing catapult so it bounces of their heads

[tinkerbell00jenni00]

you have to stand behind mr withit in the 1st lesson coz there is not enough seats then u wont get any lines

[DSMOO2]

thanks

[UncleFeedle]

Would love to see the ending to this. I was never able to complete it. We need a remake!

[lunaticrik]

excellent game.!! Remember when we used to play this when we where kids Paul lol... All I can say is Mr Botting!

[paulisthebest3uk]

coming up! watch this space!

[looey76]

yep, and constant hugging of the popular girl reduced your lines to the point where she had enuff and twatted you

[SerbianCommie]

i never succeeded to jump the fence with bicycle,and never finish it

[SerbianCommie]

wow, that was the quickest way of gaining 8900 lines

[looey76]

lmao, press S to sit down, and press J to jump and punch those shield thingys, i think if you hit all the shields, you unlock the headmasters cupboard containing the CIDER!!!!!

[looey76]

lol, I used to walk out of the lessons and write swear words on the blackboard!! tee hee !!

[yaKC]

Classic classic game, was great when you put your mates nicknames in, and the dodgy names you`d call your teachers :D
