À propos de cette écoute

The podcast where we ruin our childhood memories of games we used to play.


Join Phil and Chris as we take look at the video games we played as kids back in the late eighties and nineties. In each episode we start by talking about a game from memory - then we play it and let you know what we think today. Will we ruin our childhood memories each episode?


Call it retro, or call it nostalgia, these are the games that shaped our lives.


If you have any suggestions for games you would like us to cover or any general comments, contact us on: hello@spectrumdays.com

    • Commando, Rambo and Ikari Warriors are all the same game, right?

      Commando, Rambo and Ikari Warriors are all the same game, right?
      Nov 1 2024

      In a previous podcast we had a feeling that Commando (the arcade hit and excellent ZX Spectrum conversion) and Rambo were basically the same game, well, that's what our memories of 80´s gaming were telling us!


      Surely they were both Shoot 'em ups? In this episode we played both games and few others in the same gaming genre to see if we still felt they were "the same game". Do you remember Ikari Warriors in the arcade or did you have it on a home computer or console? Maybe on the Commodore 65 or the Amstrad? Did you play Secret Command on the Sega Master System?

    • Are games too long?

      Are games too long?
      Jan 12 2024

      Whether you are a PC gamer or a console gamer, we want to know, are games just too long now?


      Games only lasted about 20 minutes back in the days of the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64, now they can last for hundreds of hours! Games like Zelda and the Witcher, massive sprawling sandbox style adventure games, role playing games, not to mention the almost infinite quality of online gaming like GTA. Is it that us middle aged people just haven't the time or energy to start a game with that much content? Or maybe games are better value now than they ever have been? Let us know your thoughts.
