I must have had a later re-release of out run on a compilation as I swear these slow down issues were not on mine.
As an American, I'll never understand how y'all enjoyed these games cause to me they all look like shit, lol. But, I love the videos about the dev's, publishers and hardware makers.
Spy hunter on the spectrum is the only game that I would say plays better than the arcade version imo
There's a coloured version of Outrun Europa. The code for colour is in the game, they just left it out. Someone from the WOS forums added it back in and I did some AY music for it.
Absolutely adore your videos Kim Justice, probably my favorite ever retro gaming presented of all time on here ❤
Great compilation video 👍 on the subject of Outrun, content wise it’s closer to the coin op than the C64 version, and I think that’s its downfall. Reducing the roadside objects on stages like gateway and Grand Canyon would have kept the frame rate at frames / second instead of frames / minute. Probably why the truck sprites shrunk in between the preview press release and the actual game. Still it’s less disingenuous than the ST screenshots which were shown a good year before the game and have zero resemblance to the finished product, mainly because they were mocked up on Degas Elite using the arcade as a reference. Space Harrier is bare bones but quite an achievement as a 48k single load game. A lot of the best 8 bit conversions are those that play to the strengths of the system rather than trying to copy the arcade (think Power Drift compared to SF2).
1:11:25 …Look at that face…
Kim, it would be interesting to hear from some of the bad game developers that you mention in this video if only to get their side of the story. Canvas, Tiertex, etc. Thanks again for all your efforts.
Helluva resource here, Kim! Brilliant, and nice to have all in one place.
Spyhunter still haunts me. I had several versions for the 128k and none of them ever worked.
Excellent
2:49:52
That's very interesting, I loved Double Dragon as a kid, so much that I even became General Manager of the company that built the arcade machines for the game in 1987!
I remember buying the game as apresent off my Grand Mother for Christmas and it cost £10 and came in a big box, I had always had £1.99 or £2.99 games up until that point. I was so disappointed initially with the game and it was the first time I realised about the difference between arcade and home computers. I did however play it a lot of times.
Thanks for my spectrum porn video Kim,….3 hours of pure nostalgia and as always wonderfully written & narrated 😊
3:00:35 Bit of a flub there Kim. One got past you 😛
Great vid though. It's always a good day when you upload a vid. Even a compilation.
Keep up the great work. You deserve far more subscribers.
This compilation of video is JUST SO GOOD! thank you so much for putting it together.
Brilliant video, brought back so many memories from my childhood, pretty much had all these games on my specy growing up.
yeeahh but back in the day we eat it and like it regardless 😀 or i was too young to notice lmao we played the bad and finished the good like cheap drugs thanks to pie rats lol
Absolutely BRILLIANT!
Woohoo. A new video and its all about my first computer…awseome 🙂
For God's sake, stick a doily on the telly, it's three and a half hours of classic Kim!
Thank you 😊
my jaw dropped when i saw the power drift port, especially compared to the preceding games
Your work is phenomenal. Well done Kim and Thank you 👍
Your videos are great. Always a ton of effort put in. It's people like you who got an American like me to get interested in these great 8 bit computers. I love to see all the different games and get to see which are worth giving a shot. Thanks for the video.
Cheers Kim.
Thank you for these nostalgic trips down video game memory,all presented and voiced by a true gaming guru,your videos are what I search for after a stressful day,and they seem to calm the storm ☔️🙌
Power Drift was incredible, what a port!
Midnight Resistance is amazing on the old spectrum. Rainbow Islands and Ghouls and Ghosts are up there with it as well.
The answer to your question in the first few seconds of this video is, "Enshitification".
Fantastic video! Really miss those days of biking into the arcade on a Saturday morning to spend my saved lunch money 😊
The players premier video seems like like a good idea (like joe blade)
oh gawd three and a half hours on MY tv???
welp, better sit back in my chair then … in about eleventybillion months when i GET to see this!!! as backlogged as us gold were rubbish in coin-op conversions teehee
