What are your memories of Taito's Speccy ports? Any particular favourites? Any others you'd like to see in text adventure form? Have a shout about it here, and thanks for watching. :)
-
great work as always. why are you not more celebrated on YT? next level writing, research and editing - you are criminally underrated.
-
I had the Taito Coin-op Hits compilation for Speccy, and Bubble Bobble, Flying Shark and Renegade got played to death. Also had the Arcadia collection featuring Op Thunderbolt, Chase HQ and New Zealand Story. I associate Taito games with the best of the arcade, because I could only play arcade games on my 48k rubber keyboard Speccy and so many of the Taito ports were, as you've mentioned, really damn good! Thanks for the nostalgia blast!
-
Just discovered this channel and spent most of the week watching your video's. I hope you appreciate how much joy your content brings to people. Re-living their youth through your amazing research and narration. This is an astonishing channel, the best out there....Thank you,thank you!
-
always enlightening even for an american who did not have any real knowledge of the British micro computer market, thank you for making it accessible
-
Como siempre, un placer ver cada uno de tus videos! El spectrum tuvo grandes conversiones, con un encanto especial 😉. Te seguimos desde España, un saludo.
-
Thanks Kim, I was sitting here with Covid feeling sorry for myself and your vid has brightened up my evening immeasurably, bringing back many fond memories, not least of loading up Batty on the cover tape and being amazed at sheer quality of it. Much better than my pirated copy of Arkanoid.
-
Space Gun on the Speccy was incredible, even the multi load couldn't kill it.
-
I love watching these vids, and then suddenly seeing an obscure game you've not thought about for 35 years.
-
Always get excited when a new Kim Justice video shows up in my feed. You can always tell you put a huge amount of work into them. Top content as always.
-
Wow How long did I have to wait, years and years for you to talk about my all time favorite game - New Zealand Story!
-
Great video as usual, Kim. Just one remark - Xain'D Sleena was anything but a 'hum-drum' arcade game. Take note it was published in '86, and it was the first game to feature the double jump as well as the first jointed multi-sprite boss enemy. It was also the best looking arcade game around (Sega super scalers excluded). It had a lot of fans where I'm from.
-
What an epic video! Your knowledge and passion for this era of gaming is so great to watch. I loved most of these as a kid, would say Rainbow Islands and Bubble Bobble are so good they’re pretty much the main reason I still have a speccy today.
-
Great video Kim! Really enjoy these run downs of Speccy ports from the Arcade, certainly a bunch I hadn't heard of before and as always amazing tid-bits of the development of certain games
-
Thanks Kim. Always appreciate your work and dedication, and making entertaining and informative videos. This one covers titles that are close to my heart with games that I'll always fondly remember (and play from time to time on emulation).
-
Fantastic video as always, brings back so many gaming memories from the old spectrum days. Keep up the great work.
-
Great video Kim - loved seeing part of an interview I conducted with Dave Perry nearly 20 years ago quoted here..
-
Great video as always. Kudos for the reference to the great Norwegian fotball reporter Bjørge Lillelien!
-
Goodness, it's only seeing them all together like this that I realise just how many incredible Taito ports there were on the Speccy! Cracking video as ever.
-
These Every Arcade ports video are a godsend
