Zig Zag (DK Tronics)

Zig Zag is another maze game, but one totally different to any I have seen before for the Spectrum. It is in very realistic 3D, and is graphically superb: very large aliens run away from you in the maze, and your job is to corner them, and then kill them. The screen display features a 3D window with the view of the maze and alien, and a map of the whole maze.

The game does not finish as soon as you have caught and destroyed the alien, but you then gain access to a larger section of the whole maze (to start with, you are restricted to a small part of it).

The sound effects are as good as can be expected from the Spectrum, and help make the game one of the best that have been released recently.
