There were many fine games for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and some of these classic games have stood the test of time well.
A couple of notable arcade games were The Way of the Exploding Fist (by Melbourne House) and Commando (by Elite).
Have yourself a quick blast on both of these games on an emulator, or if you can get hold of the real hardware go for it. Whilst you won't be up until 3am playing these, the playability that was there more than 20 years ago is still apparent.
How the programmers managed to squeeze so much out of only 48K still amazes us to this day. Can you reach the exalted rank of tenth dan? Or can you crack 'Area 8'?

About The Retro Brothers
- The Retro Brothers
- In 1984, The Retro Brothers were accused of being too harsh when reviewing games.
Under intense scrutiny, they promptly changed their identities and escaped to the Glasgow underground.
Still wanted by middle aged hippies, they survive the daily grind by having a bit of laugh as retro game bloggers. If you want any information, or something for your blog... and no-one else can help, if you can contact them, then maybe you can hire.... The Retro Brothers
The Retro Brothers are experts in all areas of retro computing.
Got an old game? You can bet they have played it.
Got some old hardware? You can bet they have used it.
From Twin Kingdom Valley to Surbiton Way there's barely a retro game they haven't played. You'll get Flashback's from Another World, so join in with with our retro-whirl. Oh - and they're not bad at programming too!
