lol, i started a thread i didnt start.

i know a lot of the "big name" conversions on the speccy ended up monochrome, but compared to more "colourful" ports on other machines, sometimes i prefered that, becuase i like clarity.

My fave example is always New Zealand Story. which compared with the C64 version actually looks better imho with less colours, and handles a lot more like the brilliant amiga version. (which has a hidden speccy message on th title screen btw... maybe the two version shared development?) the C64 version, i'm sorry to say is dog ugly if you ask me.

there are many better games however, made with the ZX in mind, that worked extremely well within the obvious limitations.
