Hey there, Spexxy here, an aging, gaming nerd with a passion for all things retro!
This channel is my shrine to retro gaming, retro movies, retro toys and retro culture in general.
70's, 80's and 90's . . . . if it's 20 years old or more, it's fair game!
So lets play, watch, listen to and talk about some old school, retro craziness!
I look forward to looking backward with you in RetroSpexx!!!

Super Polygon Grand Prix: Racing Like it's 1992
This is a quick video to showcase a new game with a very retro feel...
SPGP (Super Polygon Grand Prix) by Rozz Games is a 2024 PC arcade racer, that takes it's cues from the polygonal racers of the early 90's, particularly Sega's Virtua Racing series and I have to say it does it rather stonkingly!
Watch my first attempts and impressions of this new arcade racer and see if it's for you.
The game is available on STEAM here:
store.steampowered.com/app/2459860/SPGP_Super_Polygon_Grand_Prix/
Enjoy the ride!

An A.I. generated track, both vocally and instrumentally, created to my text input and a few lyric suggestions of my own. I then post process edited, reformatted and laid out as a working track, added a few SFX and reverb where I deemed necessary in Premiere Pro afterwards. The retro gaming inspiration is obvious here, but I quite like the end result, what do you guys think?

Bo Skeletor - Retro MOTU Parody Song
Просмотров 4862 года назад
This song is parody, based upon the popular 80's TV cartoon show Master of the Universe and features iconic characters from the show, including Skeletor himself of course. I have these ideas from time to time and I always feel that, as with many things in life, they're better out than in I think!?!? Lyrics were written and performed by myself and sung to the tune of 'Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo...

With her black beehive and tight fitting slinky, black dress, Elvira is a legend in her own right and has spawned a ton of me...

ZX Guy - A Tribute to Sir Clive Sinclair

I don't know how I came to writing this, is just sort of popped in there! In any case, as much as Sir Clive may not have liked the direction that the Speccy took and being remembered for making Jet Set F king Willy possible... To me, my late brother and many more of you out there, he will always be remembered as the ZX guy. This song is obviously sung to the tune 'Jealous Guy' by John Lennon an...
Return to Dragon's Lair - Retro Demake
Просмотров 2072 года назад
Just a quick video to demonstrate the current progress of my Dragon's Lair De-make project 'The Return to Dragon's Lair' This was created using GDevelop5 and is styled to look like a Spectrum game, minus the colour clash. However, like most of my other projects, it'll likely never get finished, but it's fun to mess around with nonetheless... What do you think so far? #DragonsLair #ZXSpectrum #R...

A Legendary List of Zelda Clones A History of the Game!
This is awesome
TBH whenever i hear "annie are you ok?" in the original song i always picture anakin when he's being burned alive in the fire lol
Why does he say ani 😅😅😅
LOL this is soooo weird 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Atic Atac was my favourite, and i remember that i spent many hours playing it and eventually also wrote down a map that i could follow. Amazing how they managed to get all that good stuff into 48k. The next time i would be impressed was when the game Movie was released, that game map was simply ludicrous because of its gigantic size and still so many different rooms all within 48k again..
Oh, one other thing I forgot, Ron Gilbert contributed some code to the original Habitat client and Chip Morningstar wrote the original SCUMM compiler, so there's a nice little connection between Maniac Mansion/Monkey Island and Habitat ;)
They were true geniuses. Even as a BBC and Archimedes user I enjoyed their products (and wished more were available). As a N64 and Gamecube owner, wow! Rare was God-like!
The past! The future! And neither! Haha it's mad! Come back, SID, we need you more than ever :D
cant understand a word with the background noise.
@brentgreeff1115 I'm sorry to hear that. 😔
i sing this song all days before enter to bed since 1985. cheers.
Now all Windows PC crashed
Some one needs to AI this into using Michael Jacksons voice.
11:15 the orc killed the fairy in the cage which I guess was a power-up. Donggul Donggul Haerong's Mum is a FOX. And then he turns in to OnePunchMan. Office Girls looks like a fun party game. Your lives are lipsticks!
Yeah, I noticed the fairy thing watching it back, I missed it in the heat of battle! 😆 OnePunchMan is about right. And Office Women Power would be great if I spoke Korean... some of the levels I skipped were heavily hindered because of the language barrier, but it's still a lot of fun nonetheless, I particularly enjoyed the button bashing parts!
Have you tried Mageslayer? I always thought of it as a 3D gauntlet.
Yes and I would agree with you on that... It's also a great game! 🤓👍
The BEST... hands down!!!! The Monkey Island series!! #1 & 3 are perfection!!
Great work, looking forward to the LucasArts installment. Zak McKracken will always have a special place in my heart. The first adventure game I solved with no hints. Not that it wasn't challenging, but oddly logical to me at 15.
I know what you mean, it was one of my first solo completed adventure games too... weird, but strangely still logical in a warped kinda way, which somehow worked for me!
I think I played the Indiana Jones graphic adventure even before I'd seen the movie. Which made the movie feel like an odd, truncated version of the game to me.
Both movie and game are awesome for sure, but if you played the game first, then I can understand that.
Cool video! 🙂
Lovely work Spexxy, and welcome back! So many great games there, so many memories!
I know right? 😃
I loved Zak Mckracken. Great shout. Wish they'd been a official sequel.
It truly was/is an amazing game, and a sequel, even now, would be very welcome indeed!
Thank you to each and every one of you who have watched this video. It had been a while since I had last uploaded and I was not expecting many views at all, but with nearly 300 in just a couple of days, I've been totally blown away and appreciate it more than you can possibly imagine. You guys are awesome! ☺️
33:20 actively waiting.
33:01 I'm sorry, I don't like interactive forms of media that are set in fantasy or like the past. I tried with the assassin's Creed series but ezio dragged on too long and they lost me. Game of thrones was the first fantasy thing that I actually cared about and Debbie Weiss and yeah, the other fspkturd ruined that show over the last three seasons because they got tired of it. I just can't do fantasy. I haven't played elden ring. But I have been playing the fspk out of armored core 6. While listening to whatever's going on, on RUclips.
That's fine, everyone is different and we can't all like the same things. It's our individual tastes that make us unique and interesting. Gaming is about having fun, as long as you enjoy the games you play, that's the main thing. 🤓👍
Never saw one of your videos before. Don't make me read. But so far I'm on board. 7:43 Good job so far.
Excellent video Spexxy! I look forward to more!
Thank you kindly. I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Fark Lucasfilm
A welcome surprise "Fark!", or an offended, insulting "Fark!"? 🤔
Better than The Acolyte!
To be fair, that doesn't take much! 😆
Were you trying to sound like clone wars Obi Wan or am I just hearing that?
It wasn't something that I was aiming for, but perhaps my inner Jedi came to the forefront during recording?! 😂
Braben and Bell and the Stamper brothers. What an era for gaming that was!
Very good! Now, i would love to hear the 96 Two Men in a Tent rave remix version 🤣🤣
Could’ve totally used the part where anakin detects those millipede things coming in through the window to get the princess. Lol
Great song and edit regardless though cheers!
wonderful 🤣
Trans AM was my absolute favourite game on my little rubber key speccy & black & white TV back in the day. Yes I liked jet pack and it was a must have title but Trans AM has a very special place in my heart.
Peak. Great job!
Thank you kindly!
amazing but "smooth general" was right there
Busssin😊
Great video. I had no clue this thing existed. First time I've seen this video, or channel and it's five years old. I've just subscribed. Also no comments and interactions. Sorry I'm so late to the party!
Thank you kindly!
Don't forget 256x192 = 6912 bytes of the 16k is video memory so you loose that leaves less than 10kb and its all contentioned!
this is so cool! it just came into my mind, and here it is, it exists. alas, no smooth emperor, but we can cope
IM SO GLAD THIS EXISTS- IT HAD TO HAVE!
I'm in the US, so I had a C64, not a Spectrum. When I hear Ultimate Play the Game, I think of Staff of Karnath. I liked it, but I never finished it. There were whole rooms where I had no idea what to do. There didn't seem to be anything important in them, but then why were they there?
I loved Underwurlde myself. It was hard but then so were most games back in the day. The environmental details always impressed me for an 8 bit game.
This is now my ringtone wtf this was great
Bro my new ring tone wtf this was great
@2:47 Dance break is PERFECT! I was looking for a version made out of actual samples from the movies, but this is fantastic in its own right!
I remember getting the Jetpac rom and beating every level using the keyboard. Once you get past the spaceships it starts over again. The inerface 2 was good with those little roms.
Could @AlexanderGoldscheider perhaps organize having this re-recorded at a higher quality perhaps? Or this risks decaying into the ether, and it's such an awesome track
"So sit tight, as we go back to 1982......" when his mic was made. 😀
It will, soon it will be the most popular song ( i hope 🤩)
