Played that already. People from Retrospec did a great job. In my oppinion it is the best remake of an old game. It is just fantastic. I've spent many, many hours playing it. I even managed to be 13th (for some time) on Retrospec Highscore list =).

Although - it is not an exact remake. To be honest I think that it is much easier in the "remade" version than it was originally. But still great!

I liked head over heels, have been given the remake it looks good but haven't had a chance to play it.

Do it as quickly as possible, you are wasting your opportunity for a great bit of joy!!!
Oh, ok =).

Another title I remeber with a tear in the corner of my eye is Dragontorc. I think - one of the first computer RPG ever made. Do you remeber it?

Spectrum, ah the fond memories of playing it with my brother, my father and many of my cousins, in our homes.

I loved those days, sometimes I wish somethings woild never change.

Especially playing on turns, TheWay of Exploding Fist, Matchday 2 on cooperativbe mode and so on and so on

Sadly, I never had a Spectrum (or even knew anybody who did). Still, Fist (and the eminent Fist+, not at all inspired by IK+) were also found on the C64.

If you like Spectrum, you might want to try out Spectrum Supersoft games remakes for PC (Games include Classic Pacman, Pacman, Total Sokoban, Jimmy, Atomix & Atomix2. The company, Supersoft remade PC versions of the Spectrum games that it used to make). It is not often that you would find a company remaking it's own old games and offering it for free.
