- Hello and welcome to the new episode of TOP 50 games in under 10 minutes.
We are in 1987 today - the year that gave us Renegade, Head over Heels (I wrote "Hills" in the video - sorry about that and thanks for gipgap4 for letting me know about it), Wizball and Bubble Bobble. And, of course, the year in which the first instalment of Dizzy was released.
We were also introduced to fantastic Exolon, Feud, Jack The Nipper 2 and many more fantastic games back then.
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! - เกม
What an amazing year of gaming.
Agreed.
"Exolon", what a perfect game amazingly designed. They did a great choice arranging the colors without the usual juxtaposition and blend that many games suffered from. Also love the graphic design on "Nonamed". Those Barbarian stunts still shock me to this day.
Btw, I never met anyone who could be able to finish "Army Moves" or many of those Dynamic games ("Camelot Warriors", "Game Over", etc).
The games I had/have where pre-1987.
Great list, surprised by how many I'd never heard of. Thanks
I'm glad you liked the video. I always try to "squeeze" a few underrated gems into these top 50 lists. Thanks for watching!
So many memories here, and I had most of these. Tai Pan would always crash on my +2 whenever you got into a sea battle. 'Barbarian' brings back more memories of perving over Maria Whittaker on the box :))
May i ask how old you are?
Never heard of Head over Hills lol! It’s heels not hills. Great list.
Oooooopppsss! My bad! English is not really my native language so I apologise for this one. I missed this completely. Will fix the description at least.
Mi infancia a vuelto 🥲👍
👍👍
It's annoying that you don't play the 128K sound !
I'm planning to do a second version of these early videos so I can use the real aspect ratio and 128k sound where available.
These are one of the earliest videos of the channel, so I wasn't really thinking about this. ;)
The aspect ratio is completely wrong, it should be 4:3 not 16:9
You are correct. I made a decision to use 16:9 as the distortion is not too big (at least in my opinion). With 4:3, there would be big black bars left and right of the video, so I chose the 16:9.
But as I said, you are correct. The correct ratio is indeed 4:3
Thanks for watching!
@@retrononame no worries. I personally prefer the emulation to look as close to the original as possible. I had hoped to show my other half the games we played on my youth but I'm very conscious of the stretching.
@@JB_inks Sure, I understand what you mean.
Nice, tnx
Feud was excellent n Jack The Nipper 2 was nowhere near as good as the original
Somehow I liked Jack the Nipper 2 as a kid. I found the world was interesting (I didn't really know what I'm supposed to do anyway so was just wandering around like a headless chicken :) ).
Thanks for watching!
I thought Jack The Nipper 2 was awesome!
Aspect ratio is wrong.
I changed the video format from C64 vs Spectrum 1990, so the aspect ratio is correct from that video on.
Thanks for watching!
about ten good games the rest crap did you just play these or im guessing you were not around when these came out and your going by review scores which is a shame as the mags were full of shite and were paid
most of these were good games I enjoyed almost all of them, and yes we were around to play them. It's hard to pick just 50 even in one year's time for the Spectrum..you could just as easily pick 100 or 150 and still leave many more good ones out.
