Will be definately breaking out the 6128 to give this a try. The original was horrible on the Amstrad.
And isnt it cool how stuff like this is beign done.

Quite a lot of dedication, and it definitely looks and plays a lot better than the shoddy official port it received.

I played this in my 464 green screen for hours. Collision detection was terrible. Particularly on stage 4. Only managed to get to stage 6.

Looking back, it was rubbish but this and Flying Shark was all I had STG wise.

Aaah memories.

Spectrum version is still better than this port though. One of the most astonishing technical achievements i've seen in all the years i've been gaming.
