For more retro mania have a look at this excellent resource for BBC and Electron games. Have a look at the Tynesoft Boys Club section contributed by my girlfriends brother :) Relive those early days here.
It's unbelievable just how many of the classic spectrum games were made by ultimate! Mind you, it's also unbelievable how much toss they produced for the NES and SNES.
OK so you got my juices going to play Fairlight again. I got a Mac Spectrum EMU here and then downloaded the tape image here.. Check out the original Crash Magazine review here. And remember this is an 8 bit game almost 20 years ago..
Cheeky fuckers! They give the keys for the game in the review. What possible use could that have, other than for people with copies and no instructions! :)
This is excellent! A windows screensaver that faithfully simulates a spectrum loading, with command line start up, fantastic sound effects and gradually rendered splash screens!! Absolutely awesome. But like I say, it's windows only I'm afraid. :(

Rare's website has an archive of Ultimate stuff. The beautiful box art brings it all back for me..
