Today's #GameIPlayedToDeath is Donkey Kong by Ocean. This is an officially licensed conversion and works well with the Spectrum's limitations. Good arcade conversions were the holy grail of early home computers. I think Ocean did a good job with this.

The Zipstik is working out - feels really clicky and tight, pretty much like new. Autofire doesn't seem to work - think that's a Kempston Interface thing. Time to play a #GameIPlayedToDeath - Enduro Racer.

Yesterday's movie night. One of my favourite Studio Ghibli films. I've watched it many times. First time for the kids.
Didn't take them long to get used to the limitations, mind.
@willbrooker @zx_spectrum_30 I see what you mean. Assume he just gets around.
Today's #GameIPlayedToDeath is Beach Head by US Gold. I remember this being in the first batch of games I played on my 48K Spectrum - I'd previously owned a 16K model that was returned to WHSmiths under warranty.

Trying to sort my list of #GamesIPlayedToDeath and this one is probably going to be somewhere near the top. I've played it again recently and it has aged well. As ever, link to WoS below:

A handful of people leapt to Hard Drivin's defence yesterday, and am expecting the same today for this overly-ambitious
arcade conversion of Afterburner. Again, it is a vey slick and smooth port to the Speccy, but is somewhat lacking IMHO. Thoughts?
