Ultimate exploded onto the the Spectrum with this instant classic. The graphics were outstanding for the time and the gameplay still stands up today

Official description

As Chief Test Pilot of the Acme Interstellar Transport Company, your task is to deliver and assemble spaceship kits. On your way round the galaxy, you're free to collect precious stones and gold.

The catch? Rocket fuel is precious and scarce. And the aliens don't take kindly to the theft of their valuables. You'll need your wits and your lasers!

Outstanding multi-directional movement, explosions and sound effects.
