Sabotage - ZX Spectrum Walkthrough

This is a walkthrough of Sabotage for the ZX Spectrum which was published by Zeppelin in 1988. I saw this on Otouto72K's channel last week and thought it looked good enough to give it a go. It's part shmup in the style of Light Force, and part wandering around a maze avoiding birds. Unfortunately, the game doesn't have a lot new to offer after the first level and gets very repetitive. There are only around a dozen patterns of aliens for the shmup parts making progress fairly easy, once you recognise them.

The plot involves gathering the 8 parts of the blueprints of the alien mothership, so that you can destroy it. The ending is in the best traditions of Speccy games, so don't expect to actually see this.

I would like to see a walk thru of LightForce; I had that game but never really got very far because it was so tough. I remember it looked and played well but it was a long time ago when I played it.

@cosmic25sheep You're in luck as I already uploaded a walkthrough for Light Force about a year ago.

Aw thanks Pix. =) You're right in saying that this doesn't offer anything new after level one, the whole thing soon become really repetitive. Same boss too by the looks of it, only the colour changes. But thanks ever so much for putting this up. =)

@Otouto72K You're welcome. I was in the mood for a shmup and thought this looked half decent at the time. I probably should have picked one of the others in hindsight but it's wasn't that bad a game.

@9Pix9 I had a look around and found the video. Thanks for that., It was just how I remembered it. Very nice graphics but a bit repetetive looking. When I saw the Sabotage title, for some reason I was expecting a Sabotuer long play; I got confused ;)

@9Pix9 No it's not a bad game, okay it took me like what 17 years to get the grips of it but it's still not a bad game.
