Styx. Mathew Smiths first ever ZX Spectrum title was compatible with the 16K model
A fun, quirky game that's covered in my upcoming book on the greatest 16K releases.

Crazy Caverns was a great little 16K #ZXSpectrum game.
A budget release in '84, it was great value.
It's covered in my upcoming book on the greatest 16K games.

How my computer gaming journey began. A ZX81 with a 16K RAM pack.
It was my friends machine.

Cruising on Broadway is one of the most stripped back, minimalistic, yet superbly playable games to ever grace the 16K #ZXSpectrum
This, along with input the games creator is featuring in my upcoming book on the subject. 馃憤

Who didn't like Tranz Am?
Another triumph of 16K #ZXSpectrum gaming from Ultimate.
Featuring in my upcoming book on the subject.

Where does Tomahawk rank amongst the #ZXSpectrum flight sims?
For me, anything Digital Integration was usually top-drawer.

Who can name the 16K #ZXSpectrum game?
A playable title from Software Projects.

Chuckman was only 拢1.99 on the #ZXSpectrum under the Mastertronic label.
Well worth it

A beat em up/hack em up I really liked this time. Barbarian on the #ZXSpectrum.
Released by Palace Software in 1987 it put a unique spin on the genre. Good as a single player game and great fun against a friend.
The decap move will never not be satisfying.

I love beat em ups, but I was disappointed with Yie Ar Kung Fu on the #ZXSpectrum
The one-step animation made the bouts too random. I beat it on my second go simply by button mashing.
Was it worthy of a Crash Smash?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Cassette decks overheating with R Tape Loading Errors on computer desks. I watched loading stripes glitter in the dark on portable TVs. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to rewind.

The Commodore 3000h. I had one around 1979/80 ish.
4 built in games, although skeet shooting required a light-gun.
It used to overheat after around 40 minutes of play. The 'dot' would bounce around the outside border and go through it. 馃槅
Happy days...

Who'd like to get involved in creating a game in BASIC for the ZX Spectrum - with your finished game being included on the USB 50?
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in trying out or having a go at, check out the link below!
