Am I right you didn't change speed when starting the game, meaning you played Default speed 5? I've set up Speed 0: Fast, and also Speed 9: Slow aswell, and moving some recordings onto the right leaderboard :-)

In order to celebrate 40 years of the ZX Spectrum, in April 2022 I will be playing mainly ZX Spectrum games - and if I can put up with it, only ZX Spectrum games from 1982!
Freez'Bees is a 1984 game for the 48K ZX Spectrum from Silversoft. It is a version of Pengo, which is a game I was never any good at and playing Freez'Bees was no different. Only once did I get off the first screen - this run! On many games I scored zero - I'm absolutely hopeless at Pengo clones. Maybe I should come back and try again at another time.
The game was written by David Leitch (who also worked on the Spectrum versions of Narc, Double Dragon and Shinobi among others) and Jay Derrett (Ball Breaker, Orpheus in the Underworld).
The game is nicely presented and control is good although I often struggled to line up with the blocks properly, something which frequently led to a loss of a life. It was fairly well received by the gaming press at the time.
This run was made on the 24th April 2022. The emulator is EightyOne. The final score was 730 points. This is a game from the UK so the correct frame rate is 50fps.
Time stamps:
00:30 At the games High Score table and main menu, 50 fps shown at bottom left.
00:33 Game start. The first game shows you how my games typically went - 0 points!
01:08 Game Over!
01:13 Start of scoring run.
01:33 First life lost.
02:33 Second life lost.
02:45 Screen 1 cleared! First, and only, time I managed this!
02:59 Third life lost. Game Over! Final score 730 points.
