Each game entry includes the year of release, the hardware it was released on, the name of the developer/publisher, a one to five star quality rating, and a descriptive review which offers fascinating nuggets of trivia, historical notes, cross-referencing with other titles, information on each game's sequels and of course the author's views and insights into the game. In addition to the main entries and reviews, a full-color gallery provides a visual timeline of gaming through the decades, and several appendices help to place nearly 3,000 games in context. Appendices include: a chronology of gaming software and hardware, a list of game designers showing their main titles, results of annual video game awards, notes on sourcing video games, and a glossary of gaming terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The follow up to the hugely successful Sinclair ZX81, in fact it was originally named the ZX82, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum was created as a computer for the masses rather than the classes and advertised as the first colour computer that could be purchased for less than £100 (the 16k model anyway). Thanks to its affordable price, wide range of software, easy to learn BASIC programming language and simple set-up, which needed nothing more than a standard TV and regular tape player, the Speccy, as it affectionately became known, went on to become the best selling computer in the United Kingdom and revolutionised the region's games industry. But it didn't just change the history of the industry, it also changed my own life as my first computer and put me on the path that led to me writing this book in the present day! This second edition of A Compendium of ZX Spectrum games now features over 300 game reviews, 3 totally new developer interviews and a fascinating fact filled article on the last computer to carry the iconic Sinclair name. This isn't a list of the best Spectrum games, a list of the worst ones or indeed a complete guide to what's available - it's simply a meandering nostalgia filled journey through the Speccy's 10,000+ games. These range from the earliest titles released at the start of the eighties, to public domain games and even modern homebrews that have been released in more recent years. This is book is a perfect companion to a true British icon!
