Ultimate Play the Game: The Collected Works

Unveiled as the swan song for the ZX Spectrum, The Collected Works was a compilation collection that showcased eleven of Ultimate Play the Game’s most iconic titles in one commemorative release. Starting with the critically acclaimed Jetpac in 1983, players could experience the year over in good company with Pssst, Cookie, Atic Atac, Tranz Am and Lunar Jetman. Two milestones would be acknowledged next, with Sabre Wulf introducing the fearless Spectrum explorer in his first adventure, and the follow-up Knight Lore establishing the ground-breaking Filmation technique. The isometric visuals would continue still with Alien 8, before the Filmation II engine was properly experienced in both Nightshade and Gunfright. A masterpiece in and off itself, The Collected Works championed Ultimate’s legacy on the classic Sinclair machine.
