Ahhhh fond memories, this was one of the early game I had, called Space Pilot it is probably the best Anirog arcade clone sold. A complete and utter 99% carbon copy of Time Pilot the arcade game.
Very nice playability on this game and the graphics are really nicely done. Yes it does slow down when there are like 10 planes on the screen true but all things considered this saved me A LOT of 10 pence pieces in the arcades...spent them all on Donkey Kong because Atarisoft totally messed up the conversions! Oh well good thing I worked out I could use other normal joysticks on my Colecovision. Heaven :o)
*waves at the Atari fan boys on Atariage A8 forum section stalking me*
a mate showed me this on his c64 in 1985 or there abouts, I had a speccy at the time, I had seen it in the arcades, always wanted a copy of it, but as time went by I even forgot what it was called, in 1994 a mate got a lend of a c64 and I got a copy of space pilot but it wasnt this game, I eventually found out what it was called again in 1998 on the net; through emulation and I found a copy of it in a charity shop, one of my all time fav games.

Yes even though this wasn't an official Time Pilot port it does have all the bits and pieces of the 'real' game in it. So much so that when I finally got to play the real arcade cab back in the day - after I'd been playing this game a lot - I managed to actually rack up quite a good score on this schooltrip when I played the arcade for the first time! People were watching and it was glorious! LOL
