“Did you ever hear of Kong?”

“Why, yes. Some native superstition, isn't it? A god or a spirit or something.”

“Neither beast nor man, something monstrous, all powerful. Still living…”

“They've taken Ann.”

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #MagicMeanies, get the blue pills and avoid the meanies or throw your magic ball at them. Not too fast but certainly addictive

“Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
Starting to burn
Starting to lynch
Silence means death
Stand on your feet
Inner fear
Your worst enemy

Refuse/Resist”

An example of poor artistic choices ruining gameplay. The graphical style makes it too hard to see what's going on and ruins what could have been a decent shooter.

“Propaganda war ensemble
Burial to be
Bones shining by the night
In blood laced misery
Campaign of elimination
Twisted psychology
When victory is to survive
And death is defeat”

The artwork for #Fairlight for the #ZXSpectrum & #Commodore64 was printed really small on the game box & the game's ad. This #SinclairUser cover from Sep'85 is the biggest version of the artwork that was printed & allows you to see the details behind Isvar properly. Shame it's not available clean!

Today's modern #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #MireMare, the game Ultimate never released imagined by #LucaBordoni and so very well done, it feels like an Ultimate game and it's got Sabre Man , this is highly recommended.

“Oh night, oh night. 
So much time has passed. 
And I've been searching for my beloved soulmate…

I dream of rain. 
I dream of gardens in the desert sand. 
I wake in pain. 
I dream of love. 
As time runs through my hand.”

Beer, crisps, ZX Spectrum

Best way to avoid that big yellow bastard in the sky is to sit and sort out some possible games for next weeks stream with beer and crisps

“I was eleven years old. When I was strong enough… I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say..."Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.””
