Does anyone remember the weird platformer Bounder, which opens from top to bottom, released in 1985? How about platformers starring Monty Mole? How about something else from UK developers Gremlin Graphics for ZX Spectrum?

Don't you remember? Me too, until recently when the publisher Pixel Games UK started sending to Steam huge catalog of old games ZX Spectrum covering a variety of developers from the golden age of British PC game design on what for many older UK gamers was their first PC. Pixel Games UK, though, has been consistently crowding out older games on Steam for years, but a recent surge in activity has added dozens of others.

We're talking about pretty cool games like a puzzle game Pimania, which, upon its release in 1982, could win an actual physical gold sundial. Others were favorites like that Hungry Horace. Even more like a shooter Penetrator, passed far beyond Great Britain and were transferred to Commodore 64 and TRS-80 in other countries.
