ZX Spectrum screenshots

thumbnail — This screen displays as the game loads

thumbnail — 48 K version : The game's main menu. This has Kempston joystick support

thumbnail — 128 K version : The game's main menu. No Kempston joystick support on offer

thumbnail — Starting the game with keyboard as controller

thumbnail — 48 K version : After opting to play the game there's some tape jiggery-pokery to be done before the game is fully loaded and ready to play

thumbnail — 128 K version : The first part of level 1 is a series of waves of fighters that appear out of the clouds like this

thumbnail — 48 K version : Looks just the same as the 128 K version. Plays just the same as the 128 K version too. Main difference is the sound when the guns fire

thumbnail — The fighters launch missiles that are best avoided. It may be possible to shoot them down but its something that this player could not accomplish

thumbnail — One life lost - Moved to the left to dodge a missile and collided with a fighter

thumbnail — The level continues with more of the same until ....

thumbnail — .... the clouds break and this ship appears. The two round things are the planed bullets that have just been fired

thumbnail — There she is in all her glory. Salvos of missiles come up from the ship and the game is now about hosing the ship down with fire while avoiding them.

thumbnail — Eventually the ship succumbs and is destroyed by a series of explosions. The score on the right seems to increase with each one until ....

thumbnail — ... the ship is completely destroyed. This is the end of level 1. Both 48 K & 128 K versions are the same to this point. The 48 K version requires some more loading to be done before level 2 starts

thumbnail — Level 2 is a top down shooter where the player takes control of a helicopter gunship. The game plays the same on both 48 K & 128 K versions

thumbnail — There are also gun emplacements - one of which has just totalled the chopper

thumbnail — Here the planes are more mobile than in level 1, they swoop and turn and are harder to avoid

thumbnail — One of the enemy choppers has left behind a power up

thumbnail — Part way through level 2 - this looks as if it could be the boss ship but its not, its just scenery.

thumbnail — Past the ship and nearly collided with an aircraft that came up from the bottom of the screen. It unexpectedly fired backwards and cost a life though

thumbnail — Next are more gun turrets and planes whose bombs explode and scatter shells across the screen

thumbnail — An energy pod has been collected and this gives the chopper a lazer. Still cannot hit those gun turrets though.

thumbnail — Game Over. This and the Hi-Score table are the same on both versions

thumbnail — A Hi Score has been achieved. letters are scrolled via the up / down keys. FIRE selects and moves on to the next letter.

thumbnail — The Hi Score table is set to allow even a modest score like this to be recorded
