Pac-Mania (Grandslam, 1988). The Spectrum official conversion of the last pac-man game in the series. A funny 3D perspective (oblique, to be precise) and the bounce power of our fave dot-eater. Four different mazes and a lot of levels with increasing difficulty. Nice scroll of screen as pac-man moves and well drawn graphics. The same thrilling action as the original arcade classic but in 3D

Moon Cresta (Incentive, 1985). The first Spectrum game to get the official licence for an arcade product is a faithful conversion of the original arcade by Nichibutsu. Excellent graphics and sounds, smooth movement and very addictive, clearly one of the best space shooters for the Spectrum

Tornado Low Level (Vortex, 1984). Fly a jet fighter in a 3D ground with 360° control. Take off and search for 6 discs. The jet is hard to control at first, as you must keep an eye on the fuel level (you can land, refuel & take off at any time), the height to avoid crashing, the time left and where the discs are, helped by a little map. The jet can speed up by sweeping back wings. In short, a great work by the wizard of 3D, Costa Panayi

River Rescue (Thorn EMI Video Ltd., 1984). You control a patrol boat in the jungle and must rescue a team of explorers located at the bank of a river. Frenetic action at a high speed along the river avoiding cocrodiles, rocks, trunks and other obstacles. Great fun with a simple concept

Abu Simbel Profanation (Dinamic, 1985). The third game in the Johnny Jones saga (after Saimazoom and Babaliba) is the hardest. The Dinamic essence at its best. Inside the temple of Abu Simbel our hero must reach the mortuary chamber to be released from his curse and then escape. 44 screens of insane difficulty with excellent graphics. The advice shown at first is vital: wait, calculate and think before acting

Penetrator (Melbourne House, 1982). A superb Scramble clone by Philip Mitchell and Veronika Megler with all the ingredients of a classic arcade: cool sounds and tune, smooth movement and acceptable graphics. Five exciting and addictive levels with a frenetic action (only five???) and a game editor. Definitely a classic from the early years

Camelot Warriors (Dinamic, 1986). An arthurian adventure in which you must cross four worlds: the forest, the lake, the caves and finally the castle of Camelot. In each one, find an object from the future and give it to its guardian, to cross to next world.A difficult game with terrible obstacles in the best Dinamic style. Clumsy movement of the character that complicate the progress but lovely graphics with a cool medieval touch

Chequered Flag (Sinclair Research, 1983). A brilliant F1 simulator back in the day, but that hasn't aged very well. In that year, a racing car game that featured first person view, 10 famous circuits to choose from as well as 3 cars, number of laps, hills to climb and descend, a pit stop, ... was just amazing to play. Control the fuel level and avoid the overheating in the engine, oil or water on the road, ... a Spectrum classic
