Old 2K games.

Is there a reason all these covers are in Spanish?

Its the only images I can find on a Google search.

I'm quite enjoying reading Tharg in Spanish for a change though.  Even a unilinguist like me can have fun figuring it out.

World of Spectrum has some decent scans of game covers and the odd review.

I've played a lot of these old games in emulated form and they're incomprehensible in some cases - but Rogue Trooper would make a good mobile phone app.

Here are a few others that I have dug out of the Cellar.

This cover is for Peter Wolf who is looking for decent piccys of nemesis the Warlock

I never new they made a game for Stainless Steel Rat[/b[

I read here.....

http://www.lysator.liu.se/adventure/Mosaic_Publishing.html

.... that it must have been a text - only adventure.

Is that right.

Are there any screenies for it.

[Large48]

Now your hoping!!!!

It's in the loft with the rest of the collection waiting to be sorted.....

Might be able to get a shot of the packaging (try ebay?) but I don't have any of these old consoles to play the games on.

[ThryllSeekyr]

That would be big of you Large, but not nessasary.

I remember playing Strontium Dog: The Killing on the speccy. Even at the time I thought it was a sack of shit.
Nemesis was wank too - though though the music on the Commodore was pretty fucking good. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdzfOXkZrY0. Durrrn!  Durrrrn!  Bloinnng!  Bloinnng! Hmmm, not quite as good as I remember, in retrospect. Nice soundtrack to Nemesis as a concept, but not a shite and monotonous platform game.  Imagine the Terror Tubes on a modern, proper console.
Rogue Trooper was alright, but Slaine was a bit rubbish - a text-based adventure game with the gimmick of grabbing words off the screen with a severed hand.

Didn't know about the Stainless Steel Rat game. This is the only image I found on t'internet.

The Stainless Steel Rat game is also listed on World of Spectrum and is indeed a text adventure. It isn't available to download but there is more information on it in the lower left hand corner of this page from an issue of Sinclair User...
