Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games Video clip

submitted by spoco2

1 decade 6 years 11 months 1 week ago

From the Youtube submitter: "Here's a retro music video I produced for the superb 'Back in Time Live' retro events. This video features footage from various ZX Spectrum games including classics like Starquake, 3D Ant Attack, 3D Starstrike, Cybernoid, Dynamite Dan, Chuckie Egg, Manic Miner etc. etc. The video ends with the brilliant destruction of an alien city from the game 'Glass'.

The video is backed by a SUPERB remix of Martin Galway's C64 'Arkanoid' theme (remixed by Lagerfeldt). The Arkanoid tune is of course a remix of Martin's ZX Spectrum music from the Ocean game 'Cobra' which is why I chose to feature it in this music vid.

This video is also available on the Back in Time Live Showreel DVD (with much better picture quality) - http://www.binaryzone.org/ (it's in the retro DVD section!) "

Brilliant, brings back many memories for me. I don't recognise all the games but I remember Atic Atac, Sabre Wulf, Underwurlde, Star Strike, Manic Miner. Jet Pac, Way of the Exploding Fist, Lunar Jetman and Jet Set Willy.

Good *music as well.

Video added to music channel (music called by gold star member Deano)

the rotating added gfx is horrible.

yep, remember pretty much all of those like it were yesterday. of course I used to play them on my amstrad cpc 6128. never did thank my parents for getting me a computer in 1985....

" the rotating added gfx is horrible. "

Yes, yes it is... although it helps to demonstrate the raw visual power that machine had back then, in all its black and rubber keyed goodness

But they could have done that with a still shot at the start or end I guess :-|
