  • Hello and welcome to the fifth episode of TOP 50 games in under 10 minutes.
    We are in 1986 today - the year that brought us some legendary games like Ghosts ’n Goblins, Cobra, Bomb Jack and Jack The Nipper.
    We were also introduced to fantastic turn based strategy game called Rebelstar that was a predecessor to such classics like Laser Squad, Lords of Chaos and X-Com.
    Games are, as always, presented in no particular order.
    Have fun and let us know in the comments if you agree with our choices (and if we missed a title that should be on the list), and see you in the next one!

    'The Trap Door' is simply a Masterpiece and Don Priestley is like a fallen semi-god from heaven.

    I remember playing all these as kid. This and 1987 were probably the best years for Speccy. I wish we could get so many quality games for modern systems every year.

    Great year all round ! Discovered Gauntlet in the local arcade and became a legend 🤣.Firelord and Dan Dare were big favourites of mine in 86. I think I had Aliens and Scooby Doo that Christmas. Probably the last year I got Speccy games as a Chrimbo prezzie, I was 18 the following year and got socks 🤣

    Space Harrier. On the Spectrum. On the same computer where 4 years before you just had an endless horde of crappy Pac Man and Space Invaders clones.

      No, not really. Nothing too "scientifically" is involved in the selection - just a personal preference and a bit of research for those systems that I wasn't so involved with back in the day.
