This was the game that put our bogeyed blue hero Horace into the gaming hall of fame, reaching mascot levels of credential for the Spectrum 16/48k
William Tang’s gloriously bonkers 1982 ZX Spectrum classic Horace Goes Skiing is pure 8-bit mayhem. First you play suicidal Frogger just to cross a lethal motorway and rent some skis, then it’s all downhill in the most gloriously pixelated ski slalom ever to appear on the Speccy.
Absolute ski-lliant chaos that will make your nostalgia berries ooze with blue juice.
