SirClive’s Retro Gamesworld dives into retro gaming history with game reviews, deep‑dive analysis of classic 8‑bit compilations, and retro magazine archaeology. Mainly focussing on the ZX Spectrum, I explore the golden age of home computing through Spectrum releases, multi‑game compilation breakdowns, and flip‑throughs of CRASH, Sinclair User, Your Spectrum, C&VG and even the propaganda of the enemy in Zzap!64, Amtix and more!
Content includes compilation reviews from the likes of Ocean, US Gold, Gremlin, Beau Jolly and Codemasters, One‑Life challenges in the You Only Get One Life series, classic and obscure Spectrum games, hidden gems, forgotten disasters, and curated retro gaming commentary with humour and Speccy love.
I also occasionally cover other retro systems when the history or my curiosity connects. If you enjoy 8‑bit gaming, ZX Spectrum nostalgia, retro magazines or classic game preservation, this channel is for you.

Not just the King of Rock n Roll, Elvis inadvertantly (and posthumously) played his own small part in the development of the British video gaming industry!

I am thinking of resurrecting my old Clash of the Titans series where I compare the two big names in a given genre and declare which I like best. I covered Kick Off vs. Sensible Soccer ages ago, so what should I look at next?
