Personal review

Lightforce boasts the best use of colour in a Spectrum game there's ever likely to be. FTL managed to pack this brilliant vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-up with more colour than is actually physically possible on the machine, and made it one of the very few Speccy games ever to truely have the feel of an arcade game.
