Please watch your language.

@Edam3000 Sorry dad.

Is it just me or does the Spectrum not have many good games? Maybe I was just spoiled with the NES back in the day x_x Almost everything about this game sucks except the the attack sound effect when you hit someone because its pretty meaty. It actually sounds painful, then again, you cheated with cranking the bass up. XD

[collieuk]

Matter of personal opinion and preference. There are some great games, but I think many have aged badly and there's a hell of a lot of dross out there. Really many of the games are just too simplistic in terms of gameplay, graphics and controls to be enjoyable these days for modern audiences.

colourfull!

and dude

u need to kill ur msn before making a review, i always think someone is talking to me and thats confusing :D

[collieuk]

That's half the fun! But for some reason my PC is more slow these days and MSN and other emulators kill the recording process. I'm not sure what I can do about it to be honest, it's pissing me off but the sound is now always out of sync.

I friggin hate PCs!!

Why does the main guy constantly look like he's listening out for something??

The player sprite looks like hes holding a phone to his ear LOL , hes on the phone to the police saying "please come quickly, im about to have my ass handed to me" LMAO.

me thinks this was the first spectrum to advoid colour clash ,ie the blocks stay with the movement

[Edam3000]

@collieuk That's ok, son. Just remember there's kids watching this.

@expotemkin And i suppose not having to wait a life time for the games to load amazed you as well as being able to play in color.

What i woulden't give to be 12 years old again lol Atari 2600 now that was something !

@DAZZYVANDAM Hey now, I started out with like a 10 inch black and white tv and had that thing all the way up until I owned my snes for 6 months until my dad bought me a 15 inch color tv for christmas. I was amazed to actually play Street Fighter in color!
