Best ZX Spectrum Loading Screens, Part #1
Part #1 of a selection of some of my favourite ZX Spectrum Loading Screens.
Black Crypt, Amiga
Black Crypt is the first game developed by Raven Software. It’s an Amiga exclusive, initially published by Electronic Arts in 1992. It could be argued that it’s also an unashamed clone of FTL’s Dungeon Master, but it is at least an exceptional one.
Dragontorc, ZX Spectrum
Steve Turner‘s 1985 sequel to Avalon is about as atmospheric and exciting as a fantasy adventure can get on a ZX Spectrum. It really is amazing that this game fits in to only 48K of memory.
Alien 8, Amstrad CPC
The famous Ultimate ZX Spectrum game, converted skilfully to the Amstrad CPC and eclipsing the original in the process. More colour – less slowdown! 🙂
Out Of The Shadows, ZX Spectrum
Mizar’s Out Of The Shadows is a brilliant, early “prototype” RPG on the humble ZX Spectrum.
Viewpoint, Neo Geo
This unusual isometric shooter from Sammy is pretty much perfect on the mighty Neo Geo.
Cybermorph, Atari Jaguar
Cybermorph: one of the first reasonably impressive releases on the much maligned Atari Jaguar. That said: it’s a very simple ‘fetch’ game with light shoot ’em up elements, and – apart from some impressively coloured graphics – there really isn’t much to it.
Worms, PlayStation
The 1995 PlayStation version of Andy Davidson‘s classic Worms is undoubtedly the best version of the game ever made. Ocean and Team 17 collaborated on this release.
It is an incredible multiplayer game, for up to four people.
