C64 Games That Make You Go Meh.... @SebsPlaceYT

Sebs Place ZZAP64 Magazine gave 50% to just a handful of Commodore 64 games in it's original run in the 80s and 90s. Were these games any good or were they all just a bit meh and worthy of their straight down the middle score?

Not good, not bad....just MEH......

I found the ten best (or worst) of them and count them down to find the most MEH game of all!

How Many Did You Buy? | Top Selling UK Games Of The 1980s!

Sebs Place 2025-09-04 | There were some end of year top selling games charts but these often contradicted weekly charts or just didn't exist. So I hunted through hundreds of magazines from the 1980's and put together a list of what I reckon was the TOP SELLING GAMES OF THE 80's here in the UK....

Yes, I'm that sad..... but I reckon you'll enjoy this one as we look through over 90 games from 1983 to 1989!

Russian ZX Spectrums: Better than original?

Sebs Place 2025-08-14 | I've often wondered what it was like growing up where the home computers that I remember as a 80s child, were not actually sold. What did those kids play? What were there first gaming experiences all those years ago.

To help me, I reached out to one of my subscribers. A lovely Russian chap called Rustem. He took me on his journey through the troubling times of the Soviet Union, right through to the console boom of the 90's and all his most memorable gaming experiences in-between.

To find out more info about Rustem, please check out his Instagram:

The ZZAP!64 Magazine Score No Game Wanted! | COMMODORE 64

Sebs Place 2025-06-26 | Obviously no game publisher wanted a crappy score when they got their game reviewed by the massively popular Commodore magazine ZZAP!64. Imagine though, having a game that you know is fantastic and definitely award winning, only to miss out by 1%!

The dreaded 89% club, which for most of ZZAP's existence meant no reward for the game in question! Was this harsh or justified? Join me for a bit of fun, where we find out if the games that just missed out are in fact worthy of the far more prestigious award - The Seb's Place Sizzler!

And who will get the only Seb's Place Gold Medal in the history of gaming?

Fraud Squad, Tax Evasion & Being Sued! | The R-Type ZX Spectrum Story

Sebs Place 2025-06-12 | Late payments, battles over who owns the code, blackmail, fraud, tax evasion, even programmers being held hostage! The story on how the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 versions of R-Type were made needs to be seen to be believed. With lots of technical details about how the games were made whilst carnage ensued, this definitely got spicy!!

Making Rampage in a TOILET! | A ZX Spectrum Story

Sebs Place 2025-05-15 | When Bob Pape got his first big coding gig, it certainly wasn't all flash cars and fancy computers.
The making of Rampage on ZX Spectrum was far from glamourous........

All taken from his most excellent PDF book, available for free from:
bizzley.42web.io/index2.html

A huge thanks to Bob with his generosity on this one. I will credit him properly in the video for part two.

16 Years Old & Working For Ocean Software! | PART 2

Sebs Place 2024-12-05 | Ever wondered what it would have been like working at Ocean Software? Well Mark R. Jones actually did at just 16 years of age! At the end of part one he was terribly homesick. Did he stay on after the first year or was the pull to return back home too strong?

16 Years Old & Working For Ocean Software!

Sebs Place 2024-10-31 | Ever wondered what it would have been like working at Ocean Software? Well Mark R. Jones actually did at just 16 years of age! Dropped off by his mum and dad a long way from home, with just his clothes, Crash magazines and of course, his ZX Spectrum, he embarked on a journey that got his name proudly associated with hit Ocean games and worked with some amazing people too.
Join me as I look at what he did in his first year at Ocean Software. The projects he worked on, how he made the graphics and how he sometimes mucked things up! Did he stay on after the first year or was the pull to return back home too strong?

Jet Set Willy is 40! | Ive Never Seen The Attic Bug! | ZX Spectrum

Sebs Place 2024-03-21 | Jet Set Willy was released in March 1984 as the much anticipated follow up to Manic Miner. The game took longer than expected to release and when it finally did, it had its fair share of problems, some of which I have never tried for myself.....Until now!

The First ZX Spectrum Games Vs The Last | Which Were Better?

Sebs Place 2024-03-01 | I couldn't sleep the other night thinking about how most of my favourite Speccy games were all early ones which made me wonder if that's because the later ones were mainly rubbish in comparison? Join me as I look at some of the top publishers and top magazines and their first and last games to see who comes out on top!

Review & Play EVERY SNES PAL Game | G-H | Eps 07

Sebs Place 2024-02-12 | I only ever played a handful of games when I used my Super Nintendo (SNES) in the 90's, so now I'm trying to play all the titles that would have been available to me back then in the UK. That's over 500 PAL titles. Hopefully at the end of it all we will have a list of my favourite games so I can find out what I think is the best game for the SNES!
