@PheonixGamersLegacy If you think the loading screen's sexy you should see the in-game graphics - gorgeous! And quite an achivement for the humble Speccy! And the tune is awesome! Over the Rainbow never sounded so good!
@Abrimaal This is awesome! You are right its very colourful! The New Zealand Story I liked as well but you're right they could have made it more colourful.
@Abrimaal I think the NZS developers did a really good job with the Speccy. It's a much more technically demanding game than Rainbow Islands so there had to be some compromises.
@jboypacman Yep! This is Somewhere Over the Rainbow =D I was gonna include it in the description but I was expecting some sort of copyright claim like the Neverending Story on the Amstrad did but no I got away with it lol! The earlier arcade games had Over the Rainbow and then Taito changed it. Not sure of the real reason why, one source says it was to avoid copyright infringement, another says Taito had a license and it simply ran out. Make your own mind up =)
@jboypacman Jboy the japanese arcade version had this tune and the european home computer versions had it too, for copyright reasons the american versions got new music.
another weird one is that newzland story (taito) had the jap levels here too but the american version had different levels ?, the more the merrier i say.
The music is pretty nice. We would love to hear the Boss tune.

I had this for my ZX Spectrum 128k. Such a long time ago. The 80's had the best computer games. Speccy was amazing.

@monteron007 Yeah the Spectrum was the first computer I got and it remains my favourite, all good things in life began with the ZX Spectrum. =)

One of the most colourful games on Speccy, differently than New Zealand Story - they screwed it totally making it in monochrome and very slow.

@Otouto72 On C64 NZL Story is in full colour, even the player sprite is in hi-res.

@Abrimaal I've seen the C64 version of the NZL Story and its fucking amazing! One of the better C64 arcade ports!

Somewhere over the Rainbow? Perfect fit here from Tatio but i don't remember the arcade one having this tune or other versions. Maybe am wrong.

it was also comman to see the "rastan saga" arcade here instead of just plain "rastan" another Taito game, never figured out why.
