No LucasArts adventures because you couldn't really do those on tape.

Very few RPGs too. It got the first Bard's Tale, but that's the only big name multiplatform title it had I think.

The only good speccy games are homebrew. And with that said, list all of the coolest homebrew fun the last decade for this thing, it's all very obscure.

pic is delta shadow

>>12543591
That's not an RPG.

>>12543630
nice.
but your comment of "the only good speccy games are homebrew" is clearly bollocks

Does that star Johnny Bravo?

>>12543582
the speccy was a 1980s machine. no there are no 1990s games on it. I dont think GTA V is on it either.

Nigga it has Street Fighter 2 and shit.

>>12545790
It clearly isn't. Tell me the good games, and don't hit me with your euroslop shit platformers that have zero fucking level design just thoughtlessly placed garbage everywhere. I'm also not interested in ports like street fighter, sure it's cool that he pulled it off but I don't want to play it.

I want to play Japanese style games like mega Man, Castlevania, contra, sonic. Maybe a cinematic cinematic platformer like out of this world. Not "pac man clone 55" or "Dizzy goes to the moon"

Why are you in this thread then retard?
>>
>>12545881
The New Zealand Story and Rod-Land got pretty competent conversions.
>>
>>12545834
R-Type was pretty tits on it too. Maybe do some research before showing the Internet you are retarded
>>
>>12545886
Modern homebrew is made by westerners who learned what a good game is by playing Japanese games.

Castlevania ZX, the one i linked above, aliens ZX, there's that valkyrie game.

Europeans didn't know how to make a good Sidescroller for like 40 fucking years. Turrican was your only good sidescroller before the 2000s.

Impossible Mission is sort of, sort of like that almost, though I suspect you'd find it frustrating

I'm interested in finding out about GOOD games like pic, or this:

>>12545928
But you said you only like playing japanese games so similar to what the other anon said - why are you here and not playing Nintendo?
>>
>>12545910
Spamming your hatred for Europe in multiple threads won't change other people's SUBJECTIVE opinions. It's nobodys fault you were born American and we are all sorry to hear that you were and we all hope one day you'll get over yourself
>>
>>12545942
I said STYLE. Learn to read silly Bitch. If a European or American makes a game inspired by konami or Capcom games, that's japanese style. If they make a Mindless game with random platforms vomited everywhere for no reason with 5 minion collectables that serve no purpose, that's European style.
>>
>>12545948
I didn't come here to face a flame war, i wasn't to know about God homebrew like seraphina and aliens, not shitty fucking maze games and other atari style garbage.
>>
>>12545970
Well you didn't exactly approach it well considering all the hostility you started with, such as:

>Tell me the good games, and don't hit me with your euroslop shit platformers that have zero fucking level design just thoughtlessly placed garbage everywhere
>>
If you think Manic Miner is thoughtless or random you haven't given it a serious try
>>
>>12545881
Contra got a Speccy port.
>>
>>12546000
where do you guys download this stuff from and Browse them?

>>12545979
because I've only ever seen you guys talk about garbage like dizzy and maze games. Imagine my shock when i find out cool shit exists and you people never mention it. I found out about those games from St1ka on YouTube
>>
>>12546334
>because I've only ever seen you guys talk about garbage like dizzy and maze games
Most of these people have never even seen a speccy, they're just shitposting
>>
>>12546334
You must be new here then
>>
>>12545928
That seems somewhat inspired by Trantor: The Last Stormtrooper and Savage
You might also enjoy Thanatos and maybe Vixen and Phantis
>>
>>12543557
was the AI slop with inaccurate graphics really necessary?

>>12543630
You're doing yourself a disservice by discarding the 80s classics. Regardless, homebrew is pretty cool:

Aliens Neoplasma
Sword of Ianna
Castlevania: Spectral Interlude
Northern Lights
Los Amores De Brunilda
Mister Kung-Fu
Old Tower
Redshift
Wycheweald
Vradark's Sphere

Aliens Neoplasma

good recs

>>12543557
My disappointment was immense when i got a Timex 1500 and despite physically looking the same, then learned it was infact not a burger model ZX and was instead a Z80.

let me guess, you need a sound system that consists of more than just "on" or "off"?
