RACE ACE: is based on 100cc Kart Racing. The Track layout is similar in design to circuits at Rye House and Tilbury, two of Britain's tope specialists Karting venues. Experienced drivers lap at speeds of up to 70 mph often inches from the competitors. Wide slick tyres are used to give the lightweight karts phenomenal corning and breaking capabilities demanding split second timing. Race Ace is designed to reflect the closeness and speed of action experienced by kart drivers.
Deathchase is a 1983 computer game written for the ZX Spectrum by Mervyn Estcourt and published by Micromega in the UK and Ventamatic in Spain. It is commonly known by the incorrect name of "3D Deathchase", perhaps due to the prominent "3D" on the inlay, and that some magazines incorrectly referred to this title.
The player controls a motorcycle-riding mercenary as he pursues two other motorcycles, one blue and one yellow, through a forest. Each enemy motorcycle destroyed is worth $1000 (i.e. points) to the player. The player's motorcycle is equipped with forward-firing guns with which to shoot its quarry. The projectiles can be controlled mid-flight simply by steering the bike. If both enemy motorcycles are destroyed, the player moves to a night version of the same level. If both enemy motorcycles on that level are destroyed, the player moves on to a daytime level of the next stage (with more trees to avoid). There are also tanks and helicopters which appear on the horizon and can be shot for bonus points.

Combining a fantasy world scenario with the finest quality arcade style action yet seen on the ZX Spectrum, Halls of the Things brings you a new dimension in computer games - the animated adventure.
In Wheelie you ride a Zedexaki bike (a combination of the famous Kawasaki brand and the ZX in ZX Spectrum), but this is no ordinary racing game. You are trapped in Nightmare Park, and must find an escape before you can race the Ghost Rider.
The park is made up of four linked levels of road, which you can move up and down at by finding a ramp headed in that direction and moving the joystick in that direction. Standard direction changes on each piece of road must also be navigated.
There are many creatures to avoid or jump over - mutant kangaroos and hedgehogs for starters. Standard hazards such as ramps and school buses are dealt with by pulling a wheelie - in this case, jumping at the last possible moment while at top speed.
You are in a maze in which you must get the eggs laid by the bugs, put them in a box, and exit the maze. Although you are faster than the bugs, they are intelligent and will trap you. The screens increase in difficulty. At the higher levels super bugs join the chase.
A chess program for the Sinclair Spectrum with 48K RAM written in fast and efficient machine-code. The chessboard and chess peices are displayed in high resolution graphics.
