Spectrum favourites of mine
I never owned a spectrum until late 2000’s but always loved to play at friends houses after school. At one time or another I owned many home computers like VIC20, Amstrad, ZX81, APPLE II, C64, C64 II, SX64 Portable, Amiga 500,500+,600 & 1200, Spectrum 48k. Hooked by the age of 14. The only machine I have now is a signed Spectrum 48k (Matthew Smith of Manic Minor fame) with some signed games.
Manic Miner
In 1983 Matthew Smith and published by Bug-Byte released the well known classic of Manic Miner for the ZX Spectrum. Although it was later released again by Software Projects, it was the first game in the willy series and was inspired by the Atari 800 game ‘Miner 2049’.
Jetpac
Jetpac is an arcade-style shooter video game developed and published by Ultimate Play the Game and released for the ZX Spectrum and VIC-20 in 1983, and on the BBC Micro in 1984. The game is the first instalment in the Jetman series, and is the first game to be released by the Ultimate company, who were later known as Rare. The game follows Jetman as he must rebuild his rocket in order to explore different planets, while simultaneously defending himself from hostile aliens.
Because I love playing this game so much, I decided to write the Jetman Galactic series of games.
