Nemesis

The computer conversions of Konami's now-ageing coin-guzzler Nemesis received widespread acclaim when it was released several years ago, and it's getting a new lease of life with this budget re-release.

The aim of the game is pure and simple - fly from left to right and blast seven shades of shinty out of anything that moves, collect power-ups along the way, and destroy the end of level spacecraft.

Alright, so Nemesis is starting to show its age (it was released in 1987) but, as a budget blast, it's dashed good value for money.

Amstrad

Nemesis

Colourful graphics but poor sound abound, but this doesn't stop Amstrad Nemesis being really addictive.

Spectrum

A bit of colour clash here and there, but rootin'-tootin' kill-blast action all round. Well worth the wonga.

C64

Graphics are a bit blocky and pale, but it still plays like a demon. A flippin' good shoot-'em-up, and the best version there is.
