ZX Screens A-Z: Brave Starr

Reason: Okay, he has a veeery long right thigh, but look at the shadow work! Also, the framing appears to be the subject of the piece here - there's very little going in the centre of the picture.

One of the best games on the Laser Squad, a genre that would bring us all created by the same people, one of the best games ever to hit

Loved this game it was epic, was a Commandos clone but was better than Commando, Who Dares Wins II

ZX Screens A-Z: Batman - The Caped Crusader

Reason: A very busy screen included for The Joker and his maniacal laugh framing the action.

ZX Screens A-Z: Atic Atac

Reason: 1983, mere months after the machine's release and this screen hints at wizards, spells, trapdoors and monsters. Lovely collection of images in one place.

ZX Screens A-Z: Aspar GP Master

Reason: Incredible use of colour and the bright attribute without being too garish. ASPAR lettering wonderful!

I wonder if anyone will make the colour connection... even though the parts have been reversed...

(he said, posting the images to show the connection)

Sorry - I just really liked doing this :D

One of the top games, amazing what this game is when you play it again decades later, an open world driving game, traffic lights, real maps
