Description

The ZX Spectrum was created as a computer for the masses rather than the classes. A follow-up to the hugely successful Sinclair ZX81, the Speccy – as it affectionately became known – was advertised as the first colour computer that could be bought for under £100. Thanks to its affordable price, wide range of software, easy to learn BASIC language and simple set-up, the Spectrum went on to become the best-selling computer in the UK and revolutionised the country’s games industry.

This book takes you through the history of the much-loved platform, sampling a varied cross-section of the many thousands of games from the very first releases to modern retro classics and even previously unreleased prototypes. Each entry features a screenshot, review and publishing information, along with the author’s personal rating for the title.

With ten entries for each letter of the alphabet, this is not supposed to be a list of the best or the worst games; neither is it a complete guide to all that’s available. It is simply a meandering journey through well over thirty years of home computing history, designed to interest both the dedicated fan and the casual reader.

A Compendium of ZX Spectrum Games is a celebration of Sir Clive’s wonder machine, filled with nostalgic memories, new opinions, interesting stories and so much more!
