 |  Best games we share with ZX Spectrum
Hi all,
The new Spectrum clone came out recently, which is great, and i was thinking which great original games from the 80's do we share with the Spectrum, that are note-worthy.
For me its: Saboteur!. I remember the game playing it back then.

Even before Theamiga came out, I asked the FPGA outlaws if they wanted to make a Plus/4 clone. The answer was nothing. I'm sorry. I would buy an original size FPGA clone.
Best game on the 264 series? When I was a kid, the stuff in the first two game books of the LSI company. Mostly ACE +4

"Best" is subjective, but the topic is interesting to me, because I immediately though of "how would one list these games". We have "external links" to ZX Spectrum versions, so it's doable, but not from the UI unfortunately. Anyway, I wrote a query and... queried the database, there's hundreds. So, instead I shortened the list to: commercially released games before 1990.
That gives us 153 games  Voila:

Well, we share a lot of great games with ZX Spectrum, though a lot happened via C64 conversions, like Head over Heels. Laser Squad is on the toplist in my view.
According to my view some ZX Spectrum games were even better than C64, like Thanatos (even the music is better), or even Robocop. The sharp hires picture made them brilliant (though C64 could so the same or even higher resolution, most game went fo the 160x200 colorful resolution)
But I think one of the best game ever made to ZX Sptecrum was Chaos. Only the more complex Lord of Chaos converted to C64 (was a kind of Lasee Squad), a fantastic game, but the original was more fun and faster against a human player.

Hi Csabo
i am happy you got my "hint" ans thank you for your effort, very interesting list!
I think its an interesting query, since i am always interested in comparisons with other systems.
I suggest you expand the side for such queries in a broader sense.
