+    *Bennett: In my view [[company:Rare]]'s only true classic. A much cleaner design than //Knightlore//.
   ***//[[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0000176|Amaurote]]//**
     *vision: the purest, loneliest terror on four legs.

+  ***//[[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0000307|Athena]]//**
+  *Takashi: Athena is an arcade game that is mostly hated, but the graphics (1-bit Athena!) are rather cute. Also a Nice ditty tune

+  * Takashi: This memorable game is what happens when coders are faced with making a movie-tie-in game, and in return deliver an outstanding parody. Sly here is a pump-muscled hero that headbuts things by default and has to fight insidious enemies like baby carts and rocket-launching women to rescue his girl. Genius buzzer music by Martin Gallaway, that was triggered in mid-game without interrupting the action. One of the best 48Kb titles.

   ***//[[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0009332|Dizzy]]//** (series)
     *Lick Meth: earlier titles by the Oliver Twins preferably
+  ***//Fairlight II//**
+    *Bennett: Pretty amazing for 1986, even though it's sort of broken. //Ultima VII// seven years in advance, on a 48k Spectrum.
+  ***//[[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0001628|Enduro Racer]]//**
+  *Takashi: Another good arcade port, that was actually one of the best in the 8-Bit category - mostly because the SMS version of this game is a unrelated isometric racer.

     *Lick Meth: videos on Youtube have audio removed by WMG, holy shit
+  ***//Saboteur//**
+    *Bennett: But only if you're patient. Play the ZX spectrum version. One of the very few Spectrum games I would still consider playable.
   ***//[[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0004400|The Sentinel]]//**
     *Bennett: Movement is only possible by exchanging yourself with another object.
-    *Takashi: Without being too facetious, the original Sentinel was for the ZX Spectrum and it's also the one with the faster scene rendering of all the 8-bit versions.
