ZX SPECCY STORIES – EPISODE 6 - Dizzy: The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure

vendredi 11 septembre 2026 • Durée 26:13

Welcome back to ZX Speccy Stories!

For Episode 6, we’re heading back to 1987 and taking a trip into the world of Dizzy – The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure.

This is a particularly special game for me. I’ve been playing Dizzy since it was originally released, and somehow, at 49 years old, I’m still playing it today!

Created by the legendary Oliver Twins, Dizzy became one of the most recognisable characters of the 8-bit era and spawned an incredible series of adventures.

In this episode I’m looking at where Dizzy came from, how the Oliver Twins created the character, the puzzles, the one-item inventory, the difficulty, the memories of playing it back in the day – and why I still keep coming back to it nearly 40 years later.

I’ll also be talking about something I’m incredibly proud of: I’ve had the opportunity to interview the Oliver Twins twice, and I’ll be sharing some of my memories and stories from those interviews.

So grab your Spectrum, put the kettle on and get ready to go egg-ploring!

This is Dizzy. This is my story.

ZX Speccy Stories Episode 5 – Double Dragon | Hammer & Spike !!

vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 23:52

Welcome back to ZX Speccy Stories!

I’m Andy Godoy, and in this episode I’m heading back to the streets for one of the most iconic beat ’em ups of the 1980s — Double Dragon.

I’ll be talking about the ZX Spectrum version, how it looked, how it played, and whether it really captured the magic of the arcade original.

And, as always, this isn’t a technical review or a complete history of the game.

It’s my Double Dragon story.

The memories.

The music.

The sprites.

The frustration.

The excitement.

And that feeling of finally having an arcade game sitting in your own home… even if it wasn’t quite the arcade game you remembered!

So get ready to step into the streets, grab a baseball bat and watch out for the Black Warriors.

Billy and Jimmy are waiting.

Did you play Double Dragon on the ZX Spectrum, C64, Amstrad or another home computer?

Did you love it?

Did you hate it?

Or did you spend most of your time wondering why the arcade version looked so much better?!

ZX Speccy Stories Episode 4 – Ghostbusters | Who You Gonna Call?

vendredi 28 août 2026 • Durée 28:27

Welcome back to ZX Speccy Stories!

I’m Andy Godoy, and in this episode I’m sharing my memories of one of the biggest movies and video games of the 1980s — Ghostbusters.

Before we get to the ZX Spectrum game, I’m going back to the beginning and talking about the film that started it all. Directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and the often-underappreciated Ernie Hudson, Ghostbusters was absolutely huge when it arrived in 1984.

I’ll talk about discovering the film as a kid, the ghosts, the proton packs, the Ecto-1, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and, of course, that unforgettable Ray Parker Jr. theme tune.

Then we get to the game.

I remember my cousins Alex and Mario having different versions of Ghostbusters on their home computers, and one particular weekend when Mario loaded up the Commodore 64 version.

That famous “Ghostbusters!” sampled speech.

The laugh.

The theme tune with the bouncing karaoke ball.

And then the game itself…

Running your own Ghostbusters business, buying equipment, loading up the Ecto-1 and heading out into a top-down version of New York to deal with paranormal activity.

As a kid, it felt huge.

I’ll talk about the different versions I experienced, including the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and Atari 2600, before eventually getting my hands on the ZX Spectrum version.

And I’ll be honest…

I wasn’t completely blown away by the Spectrum version at first.

But coming back to the game years later changed the way I looked at it — and I’ll explain why.

I’ll also talk about the famous episode and how his hatred of the NES version actually made me appreciate and the Spectrum version even more.

ZX Speccy Stories Episode 3 – Chuckie Egg | The Arcade Game in Your Bedroom

vendredi 21 août 2026 • Durée 21:59

Welcome back to ZX Speccy Stories!

I’m Andy Godoy, and in this episode I’m sharing my memories of one of the greatest and most addictive games ever to grace the ZX Spectrum — Chuckie Egg.

For me, Chuckie Egg was almost like having an arcade game in your bedroom.

Back in the 1980s, arcades were the place to be. Huge machines, amazing artwork, fantastic sounds and, most importantly, games that were incredibly easy to pick up and play but incredibly difficult to master.

And Chuckie Egg captured that feeling perfectly.

I’ll talk about discovering Chuckie Egg at school on the BBC Micro, playing it at my cousins’ houses and experiencing it across different computers before it became part of my own ZX Spectrum memories.

I’ll also talk about why the game still has such a special place in my heart more than 40 years later — the simple gameplay, collecting those eggs, avoiding the birds, learning the screens, chasing high scores and that constant feeling of:

“Right… one more go!”

We’ll also take a look at the fascinating story behind the game, including its teenage creator Nigel Alderton, the game’s early Eggy Kong origins and how a simple idea became one of the most enduring British 8-bit classics.

But ultimately, this isn’t a history lesson or a technical review.

It’s my Chuckie Egg story.

And I’d love to hear yours.

Did you play Chuckie Egg on the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, Amstrad or another computer? Did you ever manage to complete all 40 levels? And how high could you get that score?

ZX Speccy Stories Episode 2 – Bruce Lee | My Journey with a Spectrum Classic

dimanche 16 août 2026 • Durée 19:28

Welcome back to ZX Speccy Stories!

I’m Andy Godoy, and in this episode I’m sharing my memories of Bruce Lee, one of the classic games from the early days of the ZX Spectrum.

As with the first episode, this isn’t a history lesson or a technical deep dive into how the game was programmed. This is my story with Bruce Lee — the memories, the games, the films and the journey that made this such a memorable part of my childhood.

Before we get to the ZX Spectrum game, we’re going back to the beginning with Bruce Lee himself.

Growing up in the 1980s, martial arts and kung fu films were huge, and Bruce Lee was the ultimate martial arts icon. I’ll talk about some of my favourite films, including Enter the Dragon, Fist of Fury, Way of the Dragon and Game of Death, and that unforgettable fight between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in the Colosseum.

I’ll then take you back to the first time I discovered Bruce Lee the game at my cousin Alex’s house, seeing the Amstrad version and that incredible artwork for the first time.

From there, we’ll look at my experiences with the different versions, including the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, before eventually coming back to the game that became part of my own Speccy memories.

And we’ll also take a look at the modern ZX Spectrum version, which gives this classic a fresh new look while keeping the spirit of the original.

This isn’t just a story about a game.

It’s a story about Bruce Lee, 8-bit computers, martial arts films, childhood memories and the games that stayed with us.

I’d love to hear your story too. Did you play Bruce Lee on the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad or Commodore 64? Where did you first discover it?

ZX Speccy Stories Episode 1 – RoboCop | My Journey with Ocean’s ZX Spectrum Classic

vendredi 7 août 2026 • Durée 22:09

Welcome to the very first episode of ZX Speccy Stories!

I’m Andy Godoy, and this isn’t a history lesson or a technical deep dive into how RoboCop was programmed. Instead, I’m sharing my personal journey with one of the ZX Spectrum’s greatest games.

In this episode I talk about:

My first experience watching Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop on VHS.
Discovering the arcade machine and hearing it before I even saw it.
The excitement of reading previews in Crash and Sinclair User magazines.
Playing the Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC versions.
Saving my pocket money to buy the big-box Ocean release.
The incredible Bill Harbison loading screen.
The amazing 128K music and sampled speech.
My memories of playing the game as a kid and why it still means so much to me today.

This isn’t just the story of RoboCop…

It’s my Speccy Story.

I’d love to hear your memories too. Did you own RoboCop on the ZX Spectrum? Did you play it in the arcades first? Let me know in the comments or on social media.
