Your Sinclair was one of the "Big 3" Spectrum magazines, alongside CRASH and Sinclair User. It was considered to be more humourous and zany than its contemporaries. Its final issue was in September 1993, which was an incredible run, considering the 16-bit computers had taken foothold years prior. In 1991, they published their top 100 games list, which was compiled by staff writer Stuart Campbell. It was a comprehensive list of games featuring many classics (and some curveballs). Join Drisky and Kingy as they go through the games on this list. With thanks to Gary Arnott for recreating that final cover for our own poster for this episode.

Here are the first 50 games in the first part:

100 Zzoom 99 Maziacs 98 Pheenix 97 Mined Out 96 Cruising on Broadway 95 The Train Game 94 RoboCop 93 Gyron 92 Green Beret 91 Avalon 90 Bounder 89 Cobra 88 Wheelie 87 Codename Mat 86 Trashman 85 Guardian 2: Revenge of the Mutants 84 Technician Ted 83 Football Manager 82 Hyperaction 81 Dark Star 80 Sir Lancelot 79 Atic Atac 78 Flying Shark 77 Gyroscope 76 Three Weeks in Paradise 75 Wriggler 74 Pang 73 Popeye 72 Hijack 71 Frankie Goes to Hollywood 70 G-Force 69 Match Point 68 Tapper 67 The Way of the Exploding Fist 66 Splat 65 Batty 64 Buggy Boy 63 Scrabble 62 Thrust 61 Eric and the Floaters 60 Knot in 3D 59 Hyper Sports 58 Operation Wolf 57 Dun Darach 56 Bounty Bob Strikes Back 55 Saboteur 54 Rastan 53 Ping-Pong 52 Jumping Jack 51 Robotron: 2084
