8-Bit Gameplay - L.E.D Storm - ZX Spectrum

Brought to you by http://retro-sanctuary.com

One of the big technical achievements on the Speccy where sound and scrolling are concerned, wish the game wasn't so difficult though. Unfortunately the sound came out quite quiet.

wow. thats crazy looking. the ZX has some interesting visuals. Somewhere between C64 and NES in terms of graphics. I wish there was some kind of pumping tune during the actual race though.

Yeah it's a shame, I think in-game music would've been great too but I don't think it would've been feasible, if they'd added music they probably would've had to drop the frame rate, and you really need a good frame rate for a game moving at this speed

@jesusarnold I have to agree with you. For something that goes like mud off a shovel, in-game music would not have been a good idea. Nice graphics, mind you.

@jesusarnold Check the C=64 version for some extremely cool music.. Wow is the Spectrum version fast man.

The gameplay reminds me a bit of Super Spy Hunter on the NES, so it's quite impressive on a 48K Speccy.

Think it all comes down to who programmed it. Theres a hacked verson of Commando for the 128k which has the tune playing throughout the game.

LED Storm was a very good game on the Speccy but yeah shame about no tune during the game.

they made the right choice

I guess if you're playing it, you can always put something appropriate yourself. hehe :)
