The Spectrum Show

This is a short special episode covering the Play Expo event in Manchester held on 13th and 14th October 2012. There is no coverage of new systems or games, just good old fashioned retro stuff and of course the Spectrum.

A Spectrum Show Special covering the Replay Expo event in Manchester.

Introducing my new mini series, The Spectrum Show 16k Edition. This this series I will be looking exclusively at 16k games for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. This episode I look at Mission Impossible from Silversoft.

This episode I look at Speed Duel from DK'Tronics.

The Spectrum Show 16K Edition. Ghost Hunt by PSS 1983. Could this be some spooky game of terror or just a below average pacman game?

The Spectrum Show 16K Edition. Invaders by Artic Computing 1982. Is this a poor character based jerk-fest or one of the best Space Invaders games for the Spectrum?

Welcome to the Spectrum Show Anniversary Special. Its two years since the show first appeared on YouTube, and this show marks that occasion by looking back over the last 24 months. I also play some games that I completely fail to progress on, I reveal my top ten games and I show some of my ancient BASIC games from the 1980s. Finally we have a speed test across multiple hardware devices. Thanks for staying with me over the last 2 years, and I hope you continue to enjoy the show.

The Spectrum Show 16K Edition. Pool by Bug-Byte Software released in 1982. An early pool game that ignores the rules, but is it any good?

The Spectrum Show - 16K Edition. Quackers by Rabbit software from 1983. The cover gives the game away, its a Carnival clone - but is it any good?

A very early Phoenix variant from Softek - but is it any good?

Welcome one and all to this special festive episode. I wasn't planning on doing one this year, but had just about enough stuff to make it worth while. In this episode.. I play some festive games... I look at some games that never made it... I compare magazine Christmas covers.. and end with a Christmas type-in. Thanks for watching. See you all next year.

Welcome one and all to The Spectrum Show Xmas Special 2019. We get all festive with some type-ins, and also look at some commercial releases and cover tapes. Geoff and I have chat and I flick through some festive magazines from different periods of the Spectrum's life. Have a good time folks and see you soon with a whole new series.

Welcome to the in between episodes episode! Just something to keep you entertained while I work on the next series, which will be back in February. This is a small (very) sample of some of my many Patreon videos (60+ at the time of writing). Some are not scripted, some are extracts from larger videos - enjoy. Contents: Did they really sell this? - A look at a few very bad games. Ignored Magazines - Home Computer Advanced Course Unused Chat - Panic Best of PCW Type-Ins part 1 Early DK'Tronics games (extract - 1 game)

In this one hour special, Geoff interviews Chris Wilkins, the man behind Fusion Retro Books. They discuss early Spectrum days, first steps into publishing and Crash magazine.

A tribute to Sir Clive Sinclair - 1940 to 2021. The man behind so many innovations including the pocket calculator, pocket TV and of course the ZX Spectrum.
