It Came From The Desert

Also, I was wondering, do any of these programs allow you to effectively decrease the screen resolution to say 320x200 (whilst maintaining full-screen) for added retroness?

Thanks for all the advice. Game Maker looks like it could be a good option for me as it seems well supported. I have no previous experience with real coding and don't have much spare time so it's unrealistic for me to start from scratch with a programming language. I just want to get creative with s...

If you go for the Master System II make sure you get the one with Alex Kidd built in. This is an expensive game for us with the first Master System! Is a built in Alex Kidd uncommon for the Master System I? Because mine has it built in and my friend's too. No. That's why the cartridge is so expensi...

Manic Miner
Robocop
Batman: The Movie - The Spectrum version of this game doesn't get mentioned much but I prefer it to the Amiga's

Splat! on the Spectrum - it's highly addictive (up there with Tetris).

Hi all, This is my first post having been reading this forum on and off since it began! (I've been a RG reader since discovering Issue 1 back in early 2004 at WHSmith). I know there are loads of threads about the best games for such and such a system but are there any which organise them into genre ...
