"
A beautifully packaged mini-coffee-table-sized book with glossy artwork. It’s a mix of in-game graphics, articles on developers crucial to the Speccy’s history, and a smattering of cover art design. Each game merits one page and a covering paragraph – no more. This limits how deeply you dive behind the scenes, but is usually furnished with an interesting fact or two. It doesn’t overly devote space to the big hitters and I didn’t see every game mentioned I would have liked. Similarly though, I bowed out of the ZX Spectrum’s lifetime about halfway through so many of the games covered were completely new to me. This didn’t stop me enjoying the 8-bit colour clashing graphics. Some games, I had completely forgotten about, others I could recall, but the words and pictures still helped drag buried latent memories of being 11 / 12 years old again, playing on a cutting edge home computer system. The future was then." |
