- Hello and welcome to the second episode of TOP 50 games in under 10 minutes.
We are in 1983 today - the year that gaming on ZX Spectrum really “took off”.
Programmers improved their development skills so the quality jump from 1982 was apparent and we got treated to a few of really legendary ZX Spectrum games.
Who doesn’t remember Matthew Smith, Ultimate, Durell and games like Manic Miner, Jetpac, Scuba Dive, Alchemist and Atic Atac?
Games are, as always, presented in no particular order.

That moment when a game you haven't seen nor heard in decades appears on the screen...and your mind is flooded with all those good memories. Beautiful. Thank you!
I'm glad that the video brought back nice memories.
Thanks for watching!
@@retrononame just discovered and have been watching your vids all Christmas. Wish you every success!
Thank you very much!
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
One of the best feelings in the world. Some games are hidden deep inside your memory , and suddenly you see them on yt video and there is a ton of memories connected to games, people and places.
Great era! I've been playing Jetpac this week, still such a fun and addictive game!
the jump in quality between 1982 and 1983 on the Spectrum is astounding. You'll never see that again
It is, isn't it?
I'm amazed on how quickly programmers got to grabs with the machine and started producing amazing games.
@@retrononameI am sure you can t
Great video brings back great memories...i must get myself a ZX Touch now and re live it,
If you really want a ZX Spectrum experience, try to get your hands on ZX Spectrum Next. It's a great machine. It's what the Spectrum update should have been back at the end of 80s / early 90s - compatible with all old titles and also got new capabilities that put in "on par" with Amiga and early VGA PCs.
@@retrononame I prefer the idea of a great handheld with a good sized screen which is just what the ZX Touch is , It also plays everything very well check it out ,
Great video ! Thanks
I loved high noon. My neighbour and I used to play it non-stop!
High noon was a nice little multi player game. Used to play it with my cousin a lot.
Atic Atac, Booty, and The Wild Bunch were my faves. Not sure of the years. Could never complete them 😢😂 Thanks for the upload!
How could i forget! fighter pilot !
9:54 Bomberman is more correctly referred to as "Eric & The Floaters"
The flea was so good.
Manic Miner the first game I ever completed. I think I did it in early 1984.
Huge respect. I think 5th room was as far as I got as a kid.
@@retrononame To be fair. I've been a gamer for almost 40 years and I've never played platform games once the 8 bit era was over. Manic Miner, Chuckie Egg, Gilligans Gold, Gumshoe, Bombjack, Bounty Bob Strikes Back and some Impossible mission 1 and 2. And I was done. I have platform games tagged to "ignore" in Steam account now.
I completed those classics and never wanted to play another platform game again/ I'm not precisely sure what a "Metroidvania" is - but as it seems to involve jumping and platforms. I know I don't want to play it. :)
@@PaulRoneClarke Me - after the 8bit era was over, I spent my "gaming time" mostly on RPGs (like Eye of the Beholder, Might and Magic, Wizardry ...). Planning to do a series about retro RPG games in the future as well.
I do however, from time to time, play platformers - but mostly on playstation.
@@PaulRoneClarke but why be done with platformers? you're missing out on like hundreds of fun ones just from the 8 bit era alone which is the best era for those :)
@@HiNRGboy I know I'm the odd one here. Platformers and "Story Rich" are my two ignore tags on Steam. I love a good book or a good long form TV show or movie but don't like stories in games much. Platformers are clearly popular and I can see some of them are brilliant for fans of the genre. The concept doesn't interest me any more. I remember getting Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands in an Amiga double pack and playing for about 20 minutes and thinking "Nope - done with this" Spelunky" was on the PSN for free a few years ago and I played that for about 30 minutes and thought the same. I tend to play turn based games and city builders now. Each to their own :)
Hello :)
Yep, not a bad year for the Spectrum-games :D
(... Ultimate Play the game... trully 'rare' treasurs ;) )
(hmm, sorry for my not speaking english...)
Stonkers always crashed after you'd spent about an hour building your troops up😢
ant attack first game i ever loaded on the spectrum 48k hahahahha good Old DayS..
1983 felt like the end of the 16K Speccy era for me. I don't think much good came out for it in 1984 onwards.
it's mad to see how primitive they are even compared to later spectrum releases...
Wow and now harrier attack !!!!!
I always thought Chuckman was a Mastertronic release...And that Manic Miner was earlier in the Speccy's life (1982)... Mandela Effect I guess lol
Chuckman was also released by Mastertronic so you are correct there. But the first release was from "Custom cables" - at least that's what I found out when researching the game.
Jet pack one of the best
new fan , new suscriber, well done
Thank you! I'm glad you like the stuff I create here on this channel.
Lots more to come.
Pogo does not look like a speccy game to me. It's using hardware sprites, which the spectrum doesn't have.
Loaded from tzx file into Fuse, it is 100% Spectrum game, just made cleverly (especially for 1983).
Check closely and you'll see the colour clash occurring multiple times in those few seconds of footage ;)
Thanks for watching!
@@retrononame Wow thanks I'll check it out again. Amazing! 👍
