@Mr123JasonLee yes, but the Spectrum (and Amstrad) versions are actually better than the arcade game itself... fast paced, hoards of sprites etc - all the things arcade original is missing
@maiki60fps: No way is this better than the arcade version. As for comparisons with the 64, the C64 version was chunky, but a solid conversion nonetheless. This one also looks decen, but I wouldn't say it was better; it looks like it would be difficult to spot some of the enemies/items in the background and the way the soldiers slide into the foreground looks a bit weird, but that's just me.
@maiki60fps yh but only if you played with a joystick. If you tried the spectrum light gun you had a two tone (half black half white) bar running through the screen. The aming point was where the black met the white.totally shit in other words! Especially as the games were like 10-15 quid and then what you got home bared no remblence to the arcade what so ever.
Ace! I used to think this was the bees knees on the Speccy. About a thousand years ago of course. I think it had a followup called Operation Thunderbolt.
Come on people, this version was masterclass. It blows C-64 out of water even it lacks color... Just look at the scene... huge objects and full screen of them.. fast paced... superb balanced gameplay, NOT BORING A SECOND.... I remember many Commodorians coming to play this on Speccy with their jaws dropping... this was the masterpiece... perhaps, even better than coin-op (same with Commando and many others)... Spectrum owns you...
Lol this was one of my faves,they should remake it for modern consoles

I spent hours on this. I had the "top of the range" (?)+3 Spectrum. The games used to load in seconds but you just couldn't get the games.

You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?
These were some of the best graphics on the speccy.

I wrote this one year ago, I don't remember writing that, but my bad. I respect the graphics for the time period and PC the game was on.
