So people here always shitpost about the Speccy but not being a bong I've never actually experienced the library and I want to give the humble little micro a try. Anyone here has some recommendations? Again I'm really not familiar with the library so feel free to also recommend what would be considered "the obvious" too

No one really cares about the Speccy. It's whatever. It's kind of cool for what it is (which is a poverty tier computer from the 80's).

Some cool games that I think are still enjoyable today:
>Impossamole
Cool platformer with clean graphics where you travel through different countries.
>Astro Marine Corps
Action game with lots of different obstacles and enemies. Has the most spectacular graphics I have seen in an Spectrum game.
>El capitan Trueno
Two chapters, one is an action adventure, the other one is a linear action platformer. Very polished for an Spectrum game and not too hard.
>Daley Thompson's Super Test
Sports game with lots of different mini games. Pretty fun, give it a try if you enjoyed Konami's Track and Field
>The Abbey of Crime
An adventure inspired by The Name of the Rose, it's one of the most ambitious games for the Spectrum, although you might want to try the remake at this point.

You can hyperfixate on anons admittedly aaapulled ratio all you want, the reason you guys catch so much shit is because you're obnoxious. If everyone could keep their console war bullshit to themselves that'd be great, but anons will always show up like paratroopers to shit up any thread possible with that garbage. If you like video games you should like video games, not just some specific company, we're all adults that can play whatever now that emulation exists and consoles and flashcarts have made it as easy as its ever been. Its nonsense that this is an issue somehow for grown men. Nintendo games are cool, Playstation games are cool, Sega games are cool, because video games are cool.

Great, but that's the opposite of what happens. I sit here trying to enjoy games, some of which are made by Nintendo and then the "you aren't allowed to like Nintendo" brigade shows up.
And this does happen, and it does happen every time. Doesn't happen when I try to talk about one the PC games, or one the Playstation or Sega games I like. Only Nintendo stuff.

In every avenue of gaming you will find people who only care about one particular thing. That's not something that's exclusive to Nintendo fans. I've met just as many, if not more people who will act like anything that wasn't on the Playstation doesn't exist. GTA is like the most popular game of all time, and it's those people who are buying it.

You need to stop lashing out at Nintendo because internet weebs on an internet weeb website like Japanese consoles more than British computers. I'm sorry, okay?

It makes a lot more sense when you understand that there are no casual fans of the N64, GameCube, or SNES, they are all raving zealots with nothing nice to say about anything not made by they're God idol Nintendo. Then, look at what a solid majority of threads on this board are talking about: GameCube this, SNES that, N64 everywhere. This is supposed to be a board for free discussion of retro games, not for sucking Nintendo's dick, but as long as Nintendo discussion is allowed, and Nintendo fans are swarming this place and shouting down any discussions that don't fit they're agenda, that will never be possible.

Without even scrolling down, the 9 out of 20 threads visible are about Nintendo in some form or another, or 45%, nearly half. It fluctuates at times but that would be my estimate for an average on this board of how many Nintendo-centric threads there are.

Tell me about a Spectrum game you love, personally. Sell it to me.
Don't just say "way better than that baby Mario shit, innit? We played THOUSANDS of games as kids on one pound cassets, innit m8? Have you even heard of Granny's Garden? It's kind of like Zelda, and it came out one year before, so btfo!!!"

Do you actually like these games at all? You don't seem to. You never talk about the gameplay. You never talk about the characters. You never talk about the music. Just about how they aren't Nintendo, but are supposedly better, for reasons you wont specify.

[Anonymous No.10433815]

Reminder that the oy me speccy meme came to be because australiakun (resident shitposter) lost his mind during a famicom pulseline thread, spamming it to bump limit with screenshot of speccy games that were "superiour" than on the "nezz".
The reaction was obvious, there was this one guy who is evidently super invested in his nintendo vs Spectrum imaginary wars and anons from /vr/ started memeing the speccy to trigger him, because it's funny and fits the stereotype of the bong speccy fanboy.
I doubt making fun of the speccy is a nintendo fanboy-only thing. In fact I don't think ninty fans care about speccy, they're busy on console war threads with Playstation, not old microcomputers that were never even relevant against consoles.
