ZX SPECTRUM RAID OVER MOSCOW

Released in 1985 by US Gold. This game was diplomacy at its best. Even Boris Yeltsin enjoyed playing this while chugging on his vodka.

If I remember well, it was safe to fly at about 10-11 meters, too high for the tanks to hit you but not high enough for the rockets coming from behind.

[SPINNYFUCK]

I would always fly high to tempt the missile out then go low and shoot it from behind. Didn't always work though. Half the time the missile would destro you.

I was about 6 years old when I played this game, and I remember I always have trouble to get the plane out of the base, only few times i succeeded, other times, I let brother or father to get the plane out. very great memories indeed.

[SPINNYFUCK]

I had the same trouble as well! Took a bit of practise to master. A well put together game.

Not as superb as the C64 obviously but the Spectrum had it's own charms and no doubt people enjoyed this version too

Happy lost days these and i count myself lucky to have been there when most of it all happened

Well the zx won't take much rom up and its great fun and cheap - but not in a tacky way! ;)

Hehehehe yes, you are right. Sorry for this blasphem act! (Well, I have a little room on my heart for the ZX also..)

[SPINNYFUCK]

Yeah the two ending bit makes a change. Even if you lost all your men you still felt as if you had achieved something. What is it with people coming on here talking about C64.

[danytoon]

By the time, the title change to a simply "RAID!" for diplomacy requeriments :) This is the first game with two endings I saw... The c64 version was just perfect!
