In true RPG style, gamers control four characters from the beginning and can up their party numbers as the levels progress. It’s a ZX Spectrum original title and was one of the most popular games of the 80s, taking its place as one of the pioneering titles in the golden age of gaming. This fantasy RPG game has a strong strategic vibe that fans of Fire Emblem and Risk will feel right at home with. The Lords of Midnight could have one of the coolest game cases of all time (bar Number 3 in this list, of course!). It’s good-old-fashioned fun with an easy to navigate game screen! 11. These letters unlock abilities that help Bomb Jack for a short time, so it’s definitely worth finding them all!Ĭollecting all bombs on a stage opens up new areas too. Bomb Jack must grab different letters through each stage, a little like the golden KONG letters in Donkey Kong games. Whoever thought that Egyptian mummies that turn into UFOs once they hit the bottom of the screen would be a good idea? Those guys are tough to beat!īombs aren’t the only things on offer to collect in this game. It would be a heck of a lot simpler if the enemies were easier to defeat. Collect bombs while trying to avoid enemies sounds simple, right? This bombastic hero might not be as famous as our favourite kangaroo-riding, explosive-kicking, Sega Mega Drive star, but Bomberman would certainly be proud of his exploits.īomb Jack stars in a simple side scrolling adventure that feels like a very early Alex Kidd/Asterix title crossed with Pac-Man. Jet Set Willy (1984)īomb Jack takes the 12th spot in this list of the best ZX Spectrum games of all time!
Still, Bub and Bob are big players in the Retro Gaming world, and it’s not their fault the Spectrum sucks all the life out of their looks! 14.
If it wasn’t for the engaging gameplay, then this title might not have had made this list at all. The characters don’t have any colour to them and the levels are mainly block colour backgrounds. Fail to move quickly enough and you die!Ĭompared to the arcade version, Rainbow Islands on the ZX Spectrum is very spartan. In terms of gameplay, it’s a little like a version of Mario Bros where instead of just defeating enemies on a screen, players also have to jump up levels to avoid the rising sea level. Players play as Bubby and then Bobby alternately in this game. Yeah I know it’s hard to get your head around, but stick with us.īub and Bob, the main characters of Bubble Bobble, are actually humans that have been transformed into dragons by an evil sorcerer. Well, Rainbow Islands is where that part of the Bubble Bobble story starts, and it features everyone’s favourite shape-busting dragons in their human forms.
