Now that the dust has settled around the Dark Souls of the board’s debates about the retro PS2, what’s my opinion on the ZX Spectrum’s “retro feel” that epitomized the kino scotformer into a willyvania, many years before the purple-skyed Mario Madness according to Jeremy Parish?

Hurr-durr. No one would buy it if it didn't have international appeal. Obviously ZX Spectrum hatred is limited to this retarded board. You're a dumb fuck.

>> No.7021041

>>7021027
it's not limited, you can play the games on an emulator to find out they're shit, ESPECIALLY compared with the zx's main competitor, the c64
as well as if you want ORIGINAL HARDWARE it's a bitch and a half to get it working in the USA while the chad C64 can play anything from any country

Famitsu has international readership too, that doesn't change the fact that it's a Japanese magazine oriented towards Japanese people.
Spectrum games are God awful surrealistic anti games and I pity any bonger who had to play them. Even the game that keeps getting shilled on this board, Jet Set Willy, controls badly and was filled with bugs to the point that it couldn't be completed (at least not the cassette version, which is the version I have reason to believe most bongers played)

This has nothing to do with the argument. This entire fucking board is littered with Jap shit. You're not doing yourself any favours by pointing this out, you mongoloid.
>Spectrum games are God awful surrealistic anti games
Or:
>when subjective opinion is reality
Sigh...
>I pity any bonger who had to play them
Funny, because we didn't care. You nearly destroyed your industry through sheer incompetence. Our industry thrived. We suffered no crash. Are you saying that the average burger was brighter than the average bong, because if you are, then stop now, because I can't take you seriously. At all. We had the best burger games to compliment what we already had here. That's why we didn't suffer a crash. Pretty much consistently decent games kept us afloat while you almost sunk. History has shown that to be irrefutable, no matter how loud you fucktards autistically screech.
>Even the game that keeps getting shilled on this board, Jet Set Willy, controls badly and was filled with bugs to the point that it couldn't be completed
I see you're not in on the joke. What a surprise. Moron. And stop acting like there are no burger games with crippling bugs. Talk about intellectual (HAHAHAHA!) dishonesty.
Seethe and cope, no-argument fag.

Western games journalism is cancer, there are no good zed ecks spectrum games, and you people couldn't afford video games which is why you all swapped tapes on the playground.
You seem mad about this. Really, cripplingly mad that the ZX Spectrum sucks and everyone knows it.

Why were you rambling about boxart?
Anyway, 1984 was great for me vidya wise, I got lots of games for cheap and a C64. What did you get, Speccyfag? Were you able to get even one Coleco game?
