What was a ZX spectrum?

[SPINNYFUCK]

The first home computer in Britain.

[dmvag]

brilliant game love the sound effects i remember i used 2 take it so seriously back then

[SPINNYFUCK]

I borrowed it from a mate and spent hours playing it. The sound effects are very realistic. When you get hit you can feel the pain.

[marcusmalone]

I particularly love the sound of the crowd violently relieving themselves. When armageddon comes, it will sound like that.

[SPINNYFUCK]

Having your head down a toilet bowl when someone has taken a dump and hasn't flushed it would make anyone throw up.

4:01 dat ear rape

[hcvang]

That's the theme tune from "The Master", with Lee Van Cleef! Ha Ha! I loved that show as a kid!

[fritzthecat4455]

Ah I see. Was this the same folks who made the commodore 64 here in Yank land?

[DingKong]

I can't remember this game at all. It's new on me!

[SPINNYFUCK]

History remembers this game as a hero. If someone cares to upload the C64 version we can all have a laugh. Surely Spyhunter on the C64 was a deserter and punished for cowardice! Afraid to do large sprites. afraid to do bright colours.

I thought it would never come to pass. Someone did Ninja Master! One of the worst games in history. Unless, of course, you happen to be a fan of ninja olympics simulators. Must say, however, Ninja Master was clearly pushing the little 'Speccy's' hardware to the limit!

[SPINNYFUCK]

HaHaHa! I had forgotten all about 'The Master'. There is an intro to the show on here. Great tv series. Cheers mate!

[DADDYCOOL1975]

LOL the theme tune is nicked of the TV series 'The Master' which starred Lee Van Cleif. Dare say there is a You Tube video of the opening titles?

[SPINNYFUCK]

I was trying to think of the name of it and couldn't remember. Managed to eventually track it down, lol! Still playable but not in the same league as Daley and Hypersports.

[SPINNYFUCK]

The thing was, back then older people believed everything that the inlay said. Thanks to them so many kids ended up with shitty games for Christmas.

*Left the store with my £1.99* ...and proceeded to buy a pair of sweatbands!

[SPINNYFUCK]

It's a pity there's no way to cheat in the other events. Instantly playable and a good introduction to the speccy. Defining the keys does take a bit of thought, but 1-9!?!...nooooooooo!

[SPINNYFUCK]

It's good fun and for £1.99 nobody could complain.

[SPINNYFUCK]

The sound effect at the start of each event was nicked from Hypersports. The lack of events is it's weakness but still a good game.

[SPINNYFUCK]

That's what I do with the tv.

[SPINNYFUCK]

It does have that Basic feel to it but it plays well. Good reactions are needed. It also has something to aim for, as in the Black Belt.

You're probably thinking of BMX Ninja by Alternative.

i used to love this game, havent seen it in years:)

[verapelb]

If this is the game i'm thinking of (and i'm pretty sure it is), it wouldn't load after I got it home.

When I took it back to the shop, the decrepit old geezer who sold it to me took one look in the inlay and, after seeing an obvious joke in the instructions about wearing sweatbands whilst playing, suggested I took the game back home, tried it again but follow the said advice.

Needless to say, I left the store with my £1.99 back in my pocket.

This was one of the first games I got for my Spectrum, along with Megabucks; would have been xmas 86 I guess. When I got my Interface 2 and Quickshot 2 Turbo, I could cheat on the karate chop round with the auto-fire switch on the back, the power arrow would go right off the guage! I also remember that I assigned the keys 1-9 for the controls as it went through the setup, not very intuitive thinking about it :)

[kojiki1976]

I had the sound off when I watched it first time round. I've got to admit the sound effects add a lot!!
