Ballblazer on the ZX Spectrum

Yes, the famous LucasfilmGames title got its port onto the Speccy. And it's suprisingly good considering the technical limitations of this thing! Of course not as good as the Atari 8-bit version, but definately worth a look in my opinion. Can also be played with practically any joystick (Kempston,Sinclair,Cursor...) which is always a good thing.
( this is emulated on a Spectrum 128k. Plays the same on a 48k, but with no sound.)
Speaking of sound, please excuse the fuzzy garbled sound. My video converting program somehow screwed it up ;)

The ATARI 7800 version is the best version of this game.

@Quartrez Of course it is, together with the original Atari 800 Version. But this one is just impressive for its platform and surprisingly playable ;)

@hoques1432 It is, but I don't really understand why the song sound so different (in terms of melody)...

Holy crap this is choppy compared to the Atari 800, Commodore 64, or even the NES versions.... but still impressive for the rather weak ZX Spectrum...

Weird gameplay.
