Who’s ready to become the next big Software Star? In this video, we’re diving into what might just be the best strategy game on the ZX Spectrum that you’ve probably never played. This hidden gem is a text-based management game where you run your very own software house. Create games, manage publicity, and try to rake in the big bucks—all while striving for that elusive “Software Star” status for 10 straight months. No pressure, right?

Join me as I juggle game development, marketing disasters, and a relentless quest for profit on one of the quirkiest retro platforms ever. Will I become the Steve Jobs of the ZX Spectrum world or crash and burn in a pile of bad decisions and negative balance sheets? (Spoiler: It’s probably the second one.)

If you’re into retro gaming, strategy games, or just love watching someone else stress over pixelated spreadsheets, this video is for you. So sit back, relax, and let’s journey back to the glory days of the ZX Spectrum together.

Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more retro gaming goodness—and let me know if you’ve ever heard of Software Star!
