Trying to find a game I never got to play..
A request to help me unlock a core memory!
So the very first time I ever saw a spectrum was staying over at a friend’s house. It was a spectrum plus and after playing through his game collection we went into town and bought a new game to try from a shop. It was exciting for me at the time as we had a BBC Micro at home and the selection of games in shops was generally quite limited. So we get it home and try loading again and again from tape but can’t get it to work.
The game had a flying section that had a cockpit view followed by a run and gun section. I vaguely remember the plot being about infiltrating an enemy base. The cockpit view had a limited number of missiles.
The art and screenshots on the tape box looked incredible but I never got to play it! My friend did later get it to work but said it was disappointing- but I’d love to try it myself. Bonus if I can find it on tape to try with my speccy next (when it arrives).
