After all that I can&#8217;t be bothered with Turbo Esprit.  Still had a blast around the city in it.

The reserve works.  So Matthew Smith &#8211; Genius, well he is.  The thought that went in to levels, sprite collision and design are frankly still brilliant nearly 30 years on.   One day I&#8217;ll sit down and try to complete the game.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.kebablog.co.uk\/blogpics\/spectrum30\/jsw_1.jpg\" alt=\"Loading\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.kebablog.co.uk\/blogpics\/spectrum30\/jsw_2.jpg\" alt=\"Title\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.kebablog.co.uk\/blogpics\/spectrum30\/jsw_3.jpg\" alt=\"Probably about to die!\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re on a roll with Durell now (other games manufacturers are available), well I think we are&#8230;.. 12) Turbo Esprit, not the best start as the first side fails.
