The Crash Challenge: Deathchase
Deathchase remains the stuff of legend within ZX Spectrum circles.
The game arrived fairly early on in the Spectrum’s life, so much so that few gamers were lucky enough to swipe a copy off the shelves of WH Smith—at least not until the much later rerelease. Discussion of this glittering prize, within the playground’s elite gaming cliques, amounted to little more than whispers and rumours, often conducted in a hushed, reverent tone. The stature of the game’s reputation seemed inversely proportional to the number of people who actually played it.
Despite its less than ubiquitous nature, Deathchase would regularly top the polls and top ten lists of the various Speccy magazines. The reason became obvious once gamers were able to secure a copy: the game’s as addictive and more-ish as a packet of of Jaffa Cakes.
