Came across a website by a bloke called Andy Noble. He rewrites classic retro games for the PC.
If you had a ZX Spectrum then 2 of the biggest games going were Manic Miner or Jet Set Willy nut then click the links to download the modern versions.

Just like 1982 again Smiley

All of Julian Gollop's games were great, but 'Chaos' was never surpassed in Speccy gaming!

Nice find Gatsby, great games.  I liked Technician Ted too, my dear departed Grandad bought me that from the newly opened Savacentre about 20 years ago (or when it first came out)

Ah the half hour of loading games by tape only for it to have a drop out on.  Happy memories Cheesy

i used to go into john menzies on our high street


and used to put a poke code into the speccy on display which caused it to freeze up,,with a multitude of colours and beeps

much to the consternation of the staff who had to unplug the power lead when they eventually realised it was buggered up

as we hid sniggerring behind the jigsaw stand...



i used to play the fall guy and of course football manager with its matchstick footballers...peter crouch was motivated by this game i hear

If you fancy playing the originals then you can get them all (and emulators to play them on) here:
