Title: What Are Your Favorite Spectrum Games?
Post by: drgreenchicken on August 06, 2004, 08:50:00 AM

Can anyone give me some suggestions on good spectrum games? What are some of your favorite games for example. I'm just starting to use Spextrum and was curious what would be some of the best games to play.

I've been a little busy lately, both on real life stuff and another xbox project.

Progress on SpeXtrum will resume though.

Carch, just to say love the SpeXtrum emu. Have you got a homepage? Had a search around and couldn't seem to find anything.

No I haven't got one. Not gotten round to it as yet.

Might put one together one day!
