ZX SPECTRUM CASSETTE 50 - PART 5

[killicomaine]

spinnyfuck have you played - completed the game...JOURNEYS END?... a great adventure game on the zx spectrum..me and my friend used to played it for days on end, not daring to switch off the speccy...only ever got to the bridge into the castle before getting killed in a battle....

[SPINNYFUCK]

@killicomaine Never played Journey's End. I've heard of it but don't know what it looks like.

[killicomaine]

@SPINNYFUCK aw man you need to play it , its a great adventure with turn base battles , dungeon exploring and gambling...you hire your band of fighters with the money you have, the more money the better the men....

[giffgaff2010]

The dreaded cassette 50!

Voyager was the only half-decent 'game' on it!

[SPINNYFUCK]

@giffgaff2010 Infamous tape for the speccy. Doesn't have much to offer at all.

[burnstagger]

Spiiiiiiiiny! IYHO what is a reasonable price to pay for a used Spectrum with built-in cassette?

[SPINNYFUCK]

@burnstagger I wouldn't go much above £40 to be honest. Maybe £50 at a push. They're not exactly rare.

[zzyxyz000062]

That has to be the worst Space Invaders clone ever, the aliens don't move and still fire at you even when they're gone. It may as well have called Invincible Invaders.

[SPINNYFUCK]

@zzyxyz000062 Yeah, pretty awful game, Probably down to lack of programming knowledge.

[Corrupt5358]

That tape belongs in the rubbish bin. Good memories though. Have you done Atac Atac yet? I was impressed (at the time) by the loading screen too.

[SPINNYFUCK]

@Corrupt5358 It is bad isn't it. I've done all the Ultimate games with commentary. Great company. The Atic Atac screen was great to look at while it was loading.

Hehe he Spinny :) Hi there!happy new year mate!may ti bring health,strength and make you feel better for you and your family mate!hahah I love ABBA :) regards to family mate!well the games must be pretty utter crap mate hahahah like that Nintendo multigame cartridge action 52 lol!!haha hope to hear from you soon!

[SPINNYFUCK]

@kakabixlis Happy new year kaka. Hope everything is okay over there. I know it's pretty bad at the moment. All the best to you and your loved ones.

[markvergeer]

'Nice' basic game! :)

[SPINNYFUCK]

@markvergeer One happy customer! BASIC doesn't mean bad. Cassette 50 means avoid at all costs. Buy the digital watch and then you have a collectors item.

[Jeet27]

Side B is even worse than side A so far :/

[SPINNYFUCK]

@Jeet27 Surely it can't get worser! Maybe there might be a couple of games to save the entire tape.

[ultimatebuzz1]

This games are truely awful lol must be crushing your soul ( happy new year ha!

[SPINNYFUCK]

@ultimatebuzz1 I'm an enduring soul but doing these games is a challenge and a nightmare. Happy new year mate!

[mathowlett]

Happy New Year Spinny. Have a wonderful 2012 mate.

[SPINNYFUCK]

@mathowlett Thanks Mat. Once I'm back on my feet properly then it's all systems go. Have a great year and get the Skalarks on Jools Holland's show.

[Fawltykog]

Best of health & a 'appy new year to you Spins.

[SPINNYFUCK]

@Fawltykog Thanks Fawlts. All the best to you over the next year and beyond.

[alex76gr]

My best wishes for 2012 mate!

[SPINNYFUCK]

@alex76gr Hi Alex. Hope you have a great 2012 as well.

[zxspecstar]

Hey Spinny a great collection here of absolute shit lol .... Have you had a chance to take a look at my special on the same batch of games by chance mate

[SPINNYFUCK]

@zxspecstar This tape takes pride of place in my collection. Always makes me laugh when I look at it. I watched your cassette 50 christmas special. At least you wouldn't remember playing them after all rhe drink you consumed. Probably the best way.

[killicomaine]

tell gay tony il look for him at the local glory hole...lol

[SPINNYFUCK]

@killicomaine He'll be keepimg an eye out for you. Love on the internet. Who would have believed it!

[killicomaine]

@SPINNYFUCK its not love just a public toilet sort of thing...lol

[killicomaine]

happy new year

[SPINNYFUCK]

@killicomaine Happy new year mate.

[rippleway123]

Abba?? Spinny, is that one of Gay Tony's cassettes you are playing??

[SPINNYFUCK]

@rippleway123 Tony has a massive collection of Abba, Village People, Soft Cell and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. A party is not complete without him being the dj.

[mechamind90]

Bowls on ZX Spectrum...probably the most ear piercing session of bowls that I'll ever see.

[SPINNYFUCK]

@mechamind90 Surely bowls can't be that difficult to replicate on the speccy. Maybe have to see if anyone has written a decent version.

[slenkar]

sorry you had to go through all this pain (and im not talking about the hip)

the game with the man in the field was just cringeworthy

dragons gold is just totally random,

space search is gobsmakin, like i wanna smack the ghee in the gob

[SPINNYFUCK]

@slenkar A double portion of pain then. This tape acts as a placebo. One man and his dog has never been bettered on the speccy. The dragon game is pathetic. Even I could do better. Space Search gets 2 double cholestrals.

[dylandior123]

Happy New Year Spinny! :D

[SPINNYFUCK]

@dylandior123 Happy new year dylan. It's always crazy here...but in a good way.

[dylandior123]

Crazy is the best way to be, fella :-p

[SPINNYFUCK]

@dylandior123 Yeah, the only way to be.
