335 - Your Sinclair Top 100 part 1

Your Sinclair was one of the "Big 3" Spectrum magazines, alongside CRASH and Sinclair User.  It was considered to be more humourous and zany than its contemporaries.  Its final issue was in September 1993, which was an incredible run, considering the 16-bit computers had taken foothold years prior.  In 1991, they published their top 100 games list, which was compiled by staff writer Stuart Campbell.  It was a comprehensive list of games featuring many classics (and some curveballs).  Join Drisky and Kingy as they go through the games on this list.  With thanks to Gary Arnott for recreating that final cover for our own poster for this episode.  Here are the first 50 games in the first part: 100    Zzoom 99    Maziacs 98    Pheenix 97    Mined Out 96    Cruising on Broadway 95    The Train Game 94    RoboCop 93    Gyron 92    Green Beret 91    Avalon 90    Bounder 89    Cobra 88    Wheelie 87    Codename Mat 86    Trashman 85    Guardian 2: Revenge of the Mutants 84    Technician Ted 83    Football Manager 82    Hyperaction 81    Dark Star 80    Sir Lancelot 79    Atic Atac 78    Flying Shark 77    Gyroscope 76    Three Weeks in Paradise 75    Wriggler 74    Pang 73    Popeye 72    Hijack 71    Frankie Goes to Hollywood 70    G-Force 69    Match Point 68    Tapper 67    The Way of the Exploding Fist 66    Splat 65    Batty 64    Buggy Boy 63    Scrabble 62    Thrust 61    Eric and the Floaters 60    Knot in 3D 59    Hyper Sports 58    Operation Wolf 57    Dun Darach 56    Bounty Bob Strikes Back 55    Saboteur 54    Rastan 53    Ping-Pong 52    Jumping Jack 51    Robotron: 2084   Snow Notes: World of Stuart top 100 reproduction https://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/ys100/ystop100.htm?fbclid=IwAR2J01M29bQutvprNe91s7dmoxSpndRIAyKFS2nw9ozOuHGmR0G0xfvKp3I Kingy's Mined Out remake https://archive.org/details/mined Gyron Arena https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/2193/ZX-Spectrum/Gyron_Arena Joy Chant - The High Kings https://www.amazon.co.uk/High-Kings-Joy-Chant/dp/0553243063 Saturday Superstore - kids playing Speccy games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9aUgK9rBGI Steven Smith's games (including VR ones) https://stephensmith.itch.io/ First Class TV show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg-jmty8XuQ Neadeital https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/36565/ZX-Spectrum/Neadeital

great podcast, just a tad long, an hour fits best for commuting. Great discussion , I personally think there is too many private collectors, which will eventually lose or sell off their stuff. There should be a central archive or museum that should look after retro code. media such as tapes/cd even rom chips decay. At least a museum could digitise the code for future reference. Eg World of Spectrum FTP site does a marvelous job, Unfortunately some of the original creators of some of the games want to hang on to the copyright as much as possible.
