Gregory Loses His Clock, ZX Spectrum
Playing Gregory Loses His Clock was a real treat for me, because I had never seen it before now. I love finding (and of course grabbing) good old games that have previously passed me by. Considering that Gregory Loses His Clock was released quite late in the life of the ZX Spectrum (1989), it’s no surprise that I missed it. Most people (myself included) had moved onto 16-bit computers by then.
Flunky, ZX Spectrum
This 1987 release from Piranha Games is the fifth of the ‘big sprite’ games from renowned ZX Spectrum programmer Don Priestley.

Benny Hill’s Madcap Chase, ZX Spectrum
Benny Hill’s Madcap Chase is loosely based on the infamous Thames TV show, Benny Hill, made in the 1980s and featuring Mr. Hill, and his various cohorts, running around doing funny (or rude) things in the name of comedy.
Wanted: Monty Mole, ZX Spectrum
Back in 1984 in the UK there was an infamous, historic miner’s strike that lasted for over a year and caused hardship for many communities. Rather than sit and spectate, young Peter Harrap wrote a satirical platform game about a mining mole and published it, with all the profits going to help the struggling, striking miners. That game was Wanted: Monty Mole, and it launched Pete Harrap on his career making video games, and also the Monty Mole ‘franchise’. Although I can’t really call it a franchise because it wasn’t. It was simply a series of games.
Bedlam, ZX Spectrum
Another classic ZX Spectrum game from Beam Software, Bedlam is a straightforward vertical-scroller, but done in an incredibly finessed manner.
