Titanic Blinky (ZX Spectrum)

Another old review, June 2008 to be precise. Crivvens hasn't time flown by since I started this inept reviewing malarkey! This is a fun, if not particularly special little platformer from the now defunct (as 99% of former ZX Spectrum software companies are) Zeppelin games. They published numerous budget titles for the humble 8-bit machine, most of which were utter toss. This was one of the few games worth a look at the time, but if I'm honest, can now be forgotten and left to sink at the bottom of Davy Jones' locker, along with the actual Titanic.

Invulnerable snails. Not really worth making a YouTube comment about that really but there you go, I've done it so what are you going to do about it?

Another nice vid. I actually think the way these guys dealth with colour clash was the best way, just block around the character and sod the background. The other way round is Wrong.

what is the ska track in the background?

Ah, culturally relevant considering recent cruise ship 'malfunctions'. I wonder if Blinky is to blame somehow? "Those blasted blokes with sheets on their heads, going round killing snails. We needed them for food!"

And what's that, ghosts can't swim? Preposterous video game logic.

Way a way to sum up Jet Set Willy! It's funny cos it's true.

Nice. If you want suggestions as to what games to review and make fun of can you do it with Seymore? I remember it was a dizzy type of graphics and even the character reminded me of Dizzy. I think it was Seymore goes to Hollywood or something like that.

if the ghost falls in the water it dies:/

what is his mission aboard the ship anyway

love the music in the back. Makes me feel like I am there with you playing this while waiting for 1980's dinner time to be ready.
