Dive back into 1987 retro gaming with Episode #14 of the ZX Spectrum Compilation Chart Challenge! In this episode, we review the iconic Best of Elite Vol. 1 compilation pack (originally released under the Hit-Pak label by Elite Systems) retailing for £7.95.
We break down the packaging, value for money, and take an in-depth gameplay look at four classic 48K/128K Spectrum games included in this package: the highly addictive platformer Bomb Jack, the top-tier arcade action conversion Commando, the heavyweight contender Frank Bruno's Boxing, and the notoriously challenging Airwolf.
Stick around until the end for our special Cascade Cassette 50 mini-review, where we test out the classic Mastermind-style puzzle game, Cypher!
