Movie Games

untitled

Twenty years ago, when horror films reached their peak, we were all playing movie tie-ins and other horror games on something which many kids today have never even seen - a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. This was one of the first "affordable" home computers in the UK (in the US it was known as a Timex Sinclair 2048). With only 48kb RAM, its rubber keyboard and squeaky little PC speaker, it may not seem like any great shakes nowadays, but back in the 80s this little door wedge was the best thing to play games on.

The following software needs to be used with a ZX Spectrum emulator. You will find dozens of them on the Net, but the best FREE one, in my opinion can be downloaded at ZX32. More games and emulators can be found at World of Spectrum - which is where all the following came from originally. Average download size is only 40kb per file.

N.B. A note for the authorities. These downloads are in no way an attempt to distribute pirate software. They are here for novelty value only (and as a history lesson for those who are interested). The ZX Spectrum ROM itself is now in the public domain thus making the Spectrum Emulators 100% legal. But what is an emulator without software? If any of the software companies still exist who made the games above, they can contact me and I will remove any breach of their copyright immediately. Sadly, I was one of the people who bought all these programs years ago and STILL have a real Speccy in my possession and all the games and add-ons ... so who ripped who off first??? I think you know the answer guys...
