2021 Planeta Sinclair Game of the Year Results – Lots of “AAA” games to play on the ZX Spectrum!

I am a bit late on this, but I couldn’t let it pass unreported here. On January 29th, the great Portuguese website Planeta Sinclair held an online event in which they announced the results of the 2021 GOTY. Last night I watched the show and was very happy to see many quality games being made for the ZX Spectrum, and I have to say, what a well-organized event!
