Oh, if you want to see the rest of the hidden easter eggs in this game, the page has disappeared from the internet, luckily the World Of Spectrum website has archived it for your pleasure, and you can find it right here. So Many Games All of our arcade systems support over 50,000 old and new school games across hundreds of platforms. But thank you, Peter Gough, for the amusement you provided me and my sister.

Who "Lynn" is, although the code seems to reveal her surname may be "Fairclough", remains a mystery. Within 24 hours, he'd gone through the game's code and found several other things you could type in on the high score table. Anyway, the mystery is solved, I emailed a chap called "Equinox" who had a page on Spectrum "Easter Eggs", and told him about that particular incident. Why not? Because as soon as she typed in her name, it replaced it with "Hi there, Smudge Face!" We never understood why. My sister was actually quite good at this game, but she could never put her name in the high score table. This I cannot argue with, when the price of the pack (a princely £30 or so at the time) is taken into account, compared to other compilations such as, for example, Konami Arcade Collection (10 games) or Winners! (5 games) or The Biz (4 games but 3 of them were Your Sinclair Megagames), which usually retailed at around £15. Sure, a few of them might have been subject of some scathing reviews, but what you have to bear in mind is that when these were reviewed at the time, the term "value for money" probably resulted in a great reduction of the scores. And all fairly varied, as much as Light Gun Games can be at least. The six games are actually all pretty good, really. High score music, 'Diversity' (unused), for Power Drift, by Dave Lowe.'Diversity' is the name entry music from the arcade version, as per the Sega Sound Tea. The exact value of a given ZX Spectrum model will depend on the condition. Retro Sinclair ZX Spectrums generally go for anywhere from 10 all the way up to 249.99 on eBay.

Yes, if you're a regular reader (don't think I have any of those, but it'd be nice), I've told some of this story before, but allow me to bore you further. Released in the 1980s, the Sinclair Spectrum series popularized home computing in the United Kingdom and marked the start for many individuals in a boom of at-home coders. As a home conversion, it then went to number 2 on the UK sales chart, behind Power Drift. Fairly late to the party, it's a +2A model, and with it comes the light gun and 6 games. at least back then, anyway.Īllow me to reminisce for a minute.
Shaped like a weapon that would have looked good on Blake's 7, it was actually quite spiffy as far as light guns went. The Spectrum Light Gun was an interesting device.
