TOP 100 ZX SPECTRUMDate added: 22. 10. 2000 At this place you'll find TOP 100 games that were in my opinion best on Sinclair ZX Spectrum, the games that caused me many dreamless nights and that were somehow part of my life and lifestyle. At the end you'll see also TOP 10 of gaming companies and TOP best years for this machine (I have counted it from number of entries in my TOP 100). I've made similar chart also for Amiga, but I never did something like this on PC. Why? Because PC still lives and the chart may be updated, while Amiga's and Spectrum's chart is now final. But more important reason is, that PC games didn't reach my heart. I didn't love them so much as I loved Spectrum and Amiga games, although I cannot say they were bad. Simply, my heart didn't tell me I should make chart like this on PC :). At the end of this chart are two small TOP 10s of best companies and years of ZX Spectrum. These charts have been counted from number of entries in my TOP 100. Mirsoft's ALL TIME TOP 100 Spectrum games: 1. TETRIS 2 (c) 1990 FUXOFT 2. MANIC MINER (c) 1983 SOFTWARE PROJECTS 3.
