TOP 10 ZX SPECTRUM SPORTS GAMES
The best sports games money can buy on the ZX Spectrum!

Posted by sirclive1 on Jun 22, 2010 21:13 (Jun 22, 2010 21:13)

 Number 1 – Match Point

I’m a huge football fan so to give the coveted number one slot to a tennis game would mean that the game would have to be something really special! Thankfully Match Point delivered on all counts - it has clear well animated graphics with nice touches such as a shadow following the ball and ball boys scurrying for the ball after it hits the net. Match Point also has a very tough computer opponent (especially the later rounds) and like all the best games, it was easy to pick up and play.

From those I like only Ping Pong. I also like IK+ and Video Pool, but the best (athough it is not a real sport) is Xeno, the remake for Windows too

only just noticed this article *shame*
Top list by Sirclive1 - pretty much agree with all of the although never played the baseball game.  Matchpoint still one of the best tennis games ever.

I played Steve Davis Snooker to death as well. I remember the green ball just being a white circle. Oh the power of the Speccy!

Match Point was a firm favourite of mine - also like Jonah Barrington's Squash which was very similar.

Never got into Match Day 2, always preferred the original.

Wot no Hardball? Was far better than WSB.

Top 3 is absolutely spot on.
