Do you play games for loading screens ? 🤪
it's surprising how good the artwork was on the ZX Spectrum when they had to work around 2 colours per character and arguably a poorer colour pallet than the Commodore 64. Obviously this was a bigger restriction in games on the ZX Spectrum, especially without any hardware sprites.
The ZX-spectrum and the Commodore64 are really very overlooked systems, with many fine games and a few great ones, if you're reading this and you haven't played them before, give them a try.
As soon as I saw Finders Keepers... memories flooded back! Used to love that game!
