[AMSTRAD CPC] Zynaps Longplay

(Hewson, 1987)
A no-nonsense shoot-'em-up from the creators of Uridium, this is a more Nemesis-style state of affairs, with simple side scrolling action as you guide your trusty spacecraft against marauding alien crafts and defences along a space-based environment that flows quickly past you. Swatting the enemy ships is relatively easy in itself, but avoiding the protruding landscape and fire from the defences makes this a much tougher proposition, especially as you have no control of your speed. Thankfully, power-ups are available to pick up along the way, as you encounter even larger, better protected vessels and asteroids. So while it isn't an original piece of gameplay, it does have some very colourful, pretty graphics, charming music and funky sound effects all in its favour.

Last level played in cheat mode cause of a bug, at 19:56 you have to pass between two domes, well it's impossible cause bad collision detection, the starship always crashes in normal mode :(

Such a nice shooter yet bloody hard.

The unfair collision detection and that creepy explosion sound when the ship was destroyed gave me nightmares back then!

[Axelino]

@alex76gr Hard as hell, it was very frustrating make this longplay, i did it only for Misel :)

One I remember playing it so much as a kid.

Tried to do another longplay but heard it could be endless and stayed at 15:00 or so :D

Last level bug -> can't pass those 2 last tunnels right without destroying the ship right?

Nicely played !!

[Axelino]

@Metr81 Thanks and yes, you're right !

[Misel982001]

One of those "impossible" games. Did manage to once or twice to reach lvl 3 but that probably more luck than skill because just getting past lvl 1 depends a lot on luck. Didnt help that i didnt understand the weapon upgrade system. I always found it "easiest" to stay in the middel of the screen so your shots travel less far and "recharges" faster.

A big "well played" as this one is insanely freakishly hard :)

i was disappointed by lack of firepower .... the power ups were pretty lame dont u think ??

If it wasn't for that collision detection. Still quite a good early shooter on the cpc. Colour, detail, sound and awesome music. I see what you mean regarding piloting your ship through them narrow spaces. Great video.
