I still find it staggering that they fit Elite into 48k. If you’re not in the zone when you play it, this game can be pretty damn hard too. I love the little ditty when you start the game that sounds like the Rocky theme, which must be a little nod to Sly. It’s a typical Spectrum style game with the bright colours against a black background, but the animation and gameplay could be called arcade quality and the sound effects are fantastic.

This game, by the late great Jonathan ‘Joffa’ Smith is great. But I think that was only in Hyper Sports so I guess that’s the game I’m getting mixed up with Daley Thompson. I don’t associate Hyper Sports as much with the Spectrum but I do vividly remember doing a weightlifting event and learning all the names like Fly Weight and learning what Bantam Weight was. I vividly remember the box for Daley Thompson and referring to that game by name. My memory of Daley Thompson’s Decathlon actually merges into my memories of Hyper Sports. I have great memories of playing this very competitively with my two older brothers. Basically a Track and Field clone but named after the very cool Daley Thompson. This game was infamous for breaking joysticks, through too much waggling. It didn’t squeeze into my top ten but it’s still one of the games that I think of when I think of my Spectrum. I liked the graphics, the animation and the music.

I really liked the Monty series and this game stood out for me. Will always have a warm place in my heart. Very basic indeed but still very exciting when it was the first video game you had played at that time. This game came on the Horizons tape that was shipped with most Spectrums. These aren’t necessarily the best Speccy games of all time or even my favourite Speccy games (although that list would be very, very similar) but these are the games that give me the warmest, fuzziest feelings when I think of my ZX Spectrum. There are dozens, nay hundreds, of games that I enjoyed during my Spectrum’s life but I thought I would list out the ten that make me most nostalgic. Some of my earliest memeries, when I was six years old, are of playing on my trusty Speccy. It’s making me think back to all the great ZX Spectrum games that I grew up with. My excitement for the upcoming Spectrum Next is rising.
