Hi everyone and welcome to the June 2017 edition of "WHICH IS BEST?".
Last month I placed two versions of Marble Madness on the Megadrive against each other which was the Japanese Tengen version and the World EA version, I can announce the Tengen version stormed to the win with 24 votes compared to just 2 for the EA version.
It was the lowest vote count of the series by far making me think that I may just stick to the 8-bit and Amiga games which have shown to be far more popular in this series.
So, with that in mind I give you this edition to chew over, Jaguar XJ220 vs LOTUS 2 (Amiga), which to you is the better racing game out of the two, only your votes will determine that,...Happy voting!

This video is dedicated to all that have subbed to my Youtube channel: ZEUSDAZ - The Unemulated Retro Game Channel and all those that follow it, thanks to all of you that enjoy my channel.
Make a drink, sit back and enjoy the chat and music in the vid :-)

Hi everyone and welcome to the May 2017 of Which Is Best?
(All previous episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwNreNhW7CgheHTRuhjGLOIQy_y29bGub).

Last month I placed two of the most famous remembered games of the ZX Spectrum,...Chuckie Egg vs Manic Miner which no doubt challenged your loyalties to the max (Zeus's sick way of fun) and it was all down to the votes on the WOS site which were heavily in favour of Manic Miner although they all loved Chuckie Egg also but it was those votes that pushed Manic Miner to the winning line with 51 votes to Chuckie Egg's 37 votes, Chuckie was actually well ahead to begin with until the voters at WOS site had their say,...I'm a little bit gutted I have to say as Chuckie Egg was one of my fondest gaming memories, anyway great edition!

This month I place two versions of Marble Madness on the Megadrive / Genesis system against each other,....the Western version by Electron Arts and the Japanese version by Tengen, which would you prefer to have in your collection if you are a Marble Madness fan?!, which is the better conversion?!,...only you can decide that, happy voting!
Oh yes, the time cheat was used to show all of both versions and YES i know I'm not very good at them lol.

Hi everyone, I'm just about to hit 4000 subs on my game channel and plan to do a Q&A special vid shortly so I would like to offer those of you that are either all ready subbed, follow my channel or basically just nice cool gaming fans to submit any questions about my channel, my content, me or even idea's you might like to see on my channel.
The vid below says it all, if possible could you leave any questions on the actual Youtube video as It's harder to gather all the questions on all the forums where the video is embedded,....far easier if they are all on the Youtube vid,...please leave them here on the forum if you cannot sign into Youtube otherwise
Official 4000 sub video up in around 3wks.



Thanks to all, Zeus.

Hi everyone and welcome to the April 2017 edition of the Which Is Best?
Last month I placed two Amiga shooters against each other,...X-Out & Z-Out, I can announce X-Out gained the victory with 20 votes with Z-Out claiming 15, Z-Out was storming ahead at the beginning by 12 votes to 5 but then X-Out started to crawl back to the point it was 14 all but in the end it overtokk Z-Out and claimed the victory,...nowhere near as many votes this time as the previous comparrison (Turrican vs Turrican II) but maybe it was all down to not many liking those games.

This month I'm going to test your loyalties and place two classic original ZX Spectrum platforms games against each other, one slow methodical and challenging, the other fast and furious, they are Manic Miner and Chuckie Egg, which do you think is the better game?!, only your votes will determine that,...happy voting! :-D
P.s, I will only count the votes stated in the comments below and on the Youtube video.


All the best, Zeus.

Here you go guys after many of you kept requesting it from me, finally here it is, a longplay of the AWESOME Project ZX game.

So the story is, Sir Clive Sinclair is seriously p*ssed-off with all us kids back in the day that used his invention for games only and not It's intended purpose which was for learning at home after school.
He embarks on evil retribution by unleashing hundreds of characters from around 100 games to destroy you, but you can stop this by controlling your fighter and blasting your way through a dozen levels across many games released by many software houses on your mission to confront Sir Clive himself.
This is an absolute wonderful game, cleverly invented and implimented to full enjoyment, I found myself smirking hugely with nostalgia seeing all these classic games of my past, it really is a great idea of a game and a total joy and laugh to play.
Included in this longplay is the full game including the secret bonus stage, progression screen, ending and hifi music screen, all times listed below.
I really hope you all enjoy watching this longplay, officially the first longplay recorded of this amazing game Project ZX.
All level start times are shown in the Youtube video.
Note: first few minutes is game and spoiler alert info for your own good just in case you do not wish it to spoil any surprises if you are still playing the game.
Download the game here below and consider donating a small payment for all the hard work that's gone into this game for you to play free of charge: http://www.langfordproductions.com/projectzx.html



All the best, Zeus.

Been requested of me for a while and now I've finally recorded the full game "Adventure Mode" of Q*Bert on the Playstation, it is also the first longplay recorded of it on Youtube and any other video sites as far as I know.
Included in the longplay is the full game along with the animated intro and end sequence, all animations in between levels and bonus rounds giving it a total running time of 3.5hrs,...phew (I took breaks!).
I hope you enjoy it and you are all welcome to pop by by Youtube channel "https://www.youtube.com/user/ZEUS..." which specialises in UNemulation longplays (all real hardware there lads!)

Hi everyone and welcome to the February 2017 edition of the Which Is Best?
Last month I placed Silkworm and Swiv against each other and after a mega battle with the votes I can announce Silkworm nailed the victory with 43 votes with Swiv claiming just 28.
This month I'm going to place the two mighty Amiga Turrican shooters side by side,...which do you think is the better shooter?!, only your votes will determine that,...happy voting! :-D

Huy guys, I just had to share this with any of you Rocky IV fans, It's a fun silly little game where you must take control of Ivan Drago, the mountain of muscle from Rocky IV (my fav Rocky film) and punch the crap out of everything you see from Paulie's Robot, smack heads, men and women,...even mothers and their prams where you see the baby splat on the floor,...eek!.
There are also steroid needles to pick up which will give you tempory invincibility lol.
Finally you will meet Apollo followed by the game boss where you see an elderly Rocky in a suped-up wheelchair!
It's a fun little game to pass the time but I'm a bit sad that for some reason Cluuber Lang (Mr. T) Isn't in this game, instead you fight a bloody Dinosaur!,...WTF???,..why no Clubber Lang???
Sorry about the Windows icons on display at the bottom of the screen but I just couldn't find a 100% full screen version to play, they were mostly play online versions that were displayed in small window form.

Hope you enjoy it

Hi everyone, cannot believe It's now the 30th anniversary of Test Drive which was released back in 1987 by Accolade, so because of this I decided to do a "Let's Play" of it which in the end turned out to be a commentary longplay as I completed it, I hope you enjoy it, happy 30th birthday Test Drive.

[original hardware]

Hello everyone, I've just joined so please go easy on me lol.
I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and hope I will get chatting with many of you in the near future through either these forums or my Youtube channel.
I was asked on an Amiga forum by a chap known as "zapiy" (One of the top dogs that run this site) who asked if he could place my videos on this site, of course I'm happy to allow that but my curiosity got the better of me so I decided to click on the link he attached and it brought me here 

As for me I go by the name of Zeus (my old Amiga contact name) and I live in the U.K where I grew up bang in the middle of those golden gaming days in the 80's.
My Youtube channel is called "Zeusdaz - The Unemulated Retro Game Channel" which contains over 1200 videos of old retro games covering ZX Spectrum, C64, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Megadrive / Genesis, Atari 800xl, Master System, A1200, Snes, Arcade, PS1, PS2 and even a longplay video of the classic LCD game Firefox F7.
All the videos on there are recorded from the original hardware,...no PC emulation so you will get the true experience and memories of those old games.
Videos include longplays, "let's plays" - with commentary, which is best? comparison videos, retro music countdown videos, C64 & Amiga cracktro music videos - one being 12hrs long!, and Sh*t Game Time videos (this is where a really bad game is rated on the sh*t-o-meter and slammed in the vault of sh*tness - contains swearing!),...you can request these on my channel 

I really hope you pop by, everyone is so  and friendly on there and I have made many new friends myself since opening the channel,...I just know you'll find something on there you'll enjoy :-D

All the best and hope to see you on there chatting away!!!
