The New Zealand story is a cutesy platform game where you control Tiki the Kiwi around each level to rescue his friends who have been kidnapped by a large seal! Advertisements Stunt Car Racer The New Zealand StoryĪnother classic arcade conversion. This version of the game compromises nothing in terms of its execution and enjoyment, even the 16-bit versions had not the best frame rate, the spectrum handles extremely well here with what is being thrown at it. The game has a good selection of tracks as well as a league mode for you to really get your teeth into.

Stunt Car Racer is a full 3D racer, which sees you racing around elevated tracks racing against your opponent for the win. This game is something that almost has no business appearing on the Spectrum in such a way that it did. This is reflected by the fact it remained in the top 5 selling Spectrum games for almost two years! The game has a number of side-scrolling shooting levels, separated by some fun mini-games.Īs with many Ocean games of the time, Robocop has excellent graphics, great music, digitised speech and top gameplay making this one of the most timeless as well as one of the best-selling Spectrum games. Not a direct port of the arcade game, but more influenced by it, Robocop became one of the system’s biggest selling games.

One of many movie titles from Ocean, Robocop was a huge success on the system. But that’s what made this game such a challenge and one I would keep coming back to again and again.Ĭonsidered an all-time classic you can’t have a Best Spectrum Games list without a Dizzy game! Treasure Island Dizzy Robocop This is known to be the hardest of the Dizzy games, primarily because of the one-hit death and its game over! Other Dizzy games have a number of lives or an energy bar. The graphics are fun and the in-game music suits the game well. The aim of the game is to escape the island whilst collecting all of the golden coins along the way. Not everyone’s favourite Dizzy game, but for me, this was the first Dizzy game I played and it has stuck with me ever since. An absolute must-have! Pang Treasure Island Dizzy Pang also includes a 2 player mode which brings a whole new angle of the co-op to the gameplay. All of the power-ups such as the machine gun, force field and pause clock are included too. Once you pop a bubble, it then divides into two smaller bubbles, making the game get quite frantic if you get a bit trigger happy. The game sees you simply having to burst all of the bubbles on each level. It is a direct port of the arcade game and whilst the in-game graphics are monochrome, it looks fantastic. One of the best 2 player arcade games ported for the ZX Spectrum, Pang is certainly one of the best. I was not a fan, or even aware of the original comics or characters, but the game was fast-moving, had lots of places to explore and you got to run around shooting enemies, more than enough for my 6-year-old brain at the time! Dan Dare Pang
The game sees Dan Dare collecting parts for a bomb which are needed to destroy an asteroid The Mekon is using to destroy the earth. My friend owned a 48k Spectrum and we would regularly play this and Jet Set Willy. This is one of those games which I could easily complete back when I originally owned it, but have real trouble now! Target Renegade Dan Dare: Pilot of the Futureĭan Dare is one of the first ever games I played ever. There are a number of moves available including the ability to grab enemies and knee them in the groin – Most satisfying! The fighting mechanics are reasonable considering the limitations of having a single fire button.
The sequel to ‘Renegade’, Target Renegade is a classic side-scrolling beat ’em up, which sees you battling through enemies and boss fights to ultimately reach Mr Big.
Truly a game which should be in any Best ZX Spectrum games list as well as in contention for one of the best platformer games. A really simple concept, but expertly executed by developer Matthew Smith and one which made the Spectrum stand out as a gaming machine and also one of the best-selling games. The game is also noted as being significant for its in-game music, something which just did not happen back when originally released. Set over 20 single-screen levels, Manic Miner to the perfect blend of fun and frustration often requiring pixel-perfect jumps from platform to platform to collect all of the objects to unlock the exit to the next level, all before Miner Willy’s oxygen runs out. We start with one of the most classic Spectrum games, Manic Miner. 22 Castlevania: Spectral Interlude Manic Miner
