After the two rather excellent games of Flying Shark and Atic Atac we descend rapidly towards Number #77 in the Your Sinclair Top 100 and scream towards the arcade-puzzle game Gyroscope from Melbourne House. Our second game from Melbourne House in the chart so far (the first being Sir Lancelot just last week), Gyroscope spun into existence back in […]
Why does Independence Day: Resurgence look so boring?
Anghus Houvouras on Independence Day: Resurgence and why it looks so boring… I unapologetically love Independence Day, the 1996 masterpiece of popcorn movie making. It’s one of the best blockbusters ever made. An absolute piece of cinematic perfection when it comes to delivering thrills, chills, and trite melodrama. 20 years later and it’s still a […]

The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #78 – Flying Shark
With Ultimate’s Atic Atac, which was the last game looked at in the chart, our fortunes are continuing to run high as swooping in from Firebird at Number #78 is Flying Shark, the Taito coin-op classic from 1987. This is our second game in the countdown from Firebird so far – the first being Gyron – […]
The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #79 – Atic Atac
From one supposed classic yesterday to one real classic today! Arriving at Number #79 in the charts – rather criminally too – is Atic Atac from Ultimate. You may be instantly wondering – as I was – why this game is so low in the Your Sinclair Top 100. I have no idea and as […]
Women in Refrigerators: Why Female Representation in Superhero Movies Needs to Evolve
Henry Bevan on why female representation in superhero movies needs to evolve… The X-Men: Apocalypse billboard featuring Oscar Issac’s Apocalypse choking Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique has created a lot of negative noise. Actress/activist Rose McGowan called the billboard out for its “casual violence against women” and Fox has apologised for its tone-deafness. Flickering Myth’s Kirsty Capes articulately argues […]
The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #80 – Sir Lancelot
From yesterday’s detailed space adventure of Dark Star we turn to Number #80 in the Your Sinclair Top 100 and it’s very much a depart from the scenes we witnessed yesterday. In another game which could easily be labelled as a Manic Miner clone, we open the portcullis on Sir Lancelot. Sir Lancelot was published […]
The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #81 – Dark Star
After being firmly grounded in the Hyperaction’s mazes, we now take to the stars once again with Design Design’s Dark Star which arrives at No. 81 in the Your Sinclair Top 100. According to the World of Spectrum the game was supposedly inspired by John Carpenter and Dan O’Bannon’s film of the same name, though anybody who […]
Why Rose McGowan is wrong about that X-Men: Apocalypse image
Kirsty Capes on why Rose McGowan is wrong about that X-Men: Apocalypse image… I’m sure most of the internet / Marvel fandom has seen Rose McGowan’s rant about a rather unseemly X-Men: Apocalypse promo shot over the last couple of days. If you haven’t, here’s a quick run-down of what happened: Rose McGowan, of 90s […]
The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #82 – Hyperaction
From one strategy game to another, as we arrive at Hyperaction, No. #82 from Silversoft. A puzzle game that upon first appearance you may despis, but after a few further rounds, this could become one of your firm favourites. Hyperaction was created by Iain Christopher Hayward, Jay Derrett back in 1984. Initially Hyperaction seems like a […]
