The ZX Spectrum version of Dennis Caswell‘s classic platform/puzzle game, Impossible Mission, was first published in 1985 by US Gold. It is an okay adaptation. Playable, but nothing special.

Delta Charge!, ZX Spectrum
This is a conversion of the infamous Commodore 64 shooter, Delta. It was inexplicably re-titled as “Delta Charge!” by Thalamus and was first released for the ZX Spectrum in 1990 – very late in the machine’s initial lifetime.

The officially-licensed ZX Spectrum version of Donkey Kong was developed by Sentient Software for Ocean Software and was initially released in 1986.

Andrew Braybrook‘s classic Commodore 64 shooter, Uridium, was converted to the ZX Spectrum by Dominic Robinson in 1986, and – considering the machine’s limitations – he did a remarkable job.
Split Personalities, ZX Spectrum
Split Personalities is a sliding puzzle game featuring topical people from the 1980s (Margaret Thatcher, Neil Kinnock, Charles and Diana, Reagan, Breshnev, and so on). The game was first released in 1986 by Domark and was a critical success, but not a commercial one.
Kong, ZX Spectrum
Ocean‘s 1983 release of Kong was an unofficial clone of Donkey Kong, and not a very good one at that. Kong was another early ZX Spectrum game I bought and thought was crap, but was entertaining enough for a few hours at least.
Forgotten Worlds, ZX Spectrum
Created by Arc Developments and published by US Gold in 1989, the ZX Spectrum port of Capcom‘s side-scrolling arcade game is an excellent late-stage shooter that demonstrates the Spectrum punching well above its own weight.
