W.A.R.

Now here's a funny thing. A game that's completely different from version to version! The C64 version of WAR is Uridium-ish, and not terribly original.

But the Spectrum version is something else again. OK, so it's still a straightforward shoot-'em-up, but thanks to the "different" graphics and original small screen layout W.A.R. has a really nice feel about it.

W.A.R. will be fighting it out with the soon-to-be-released Spectrum version of Uridium - but shoot-'em-up fans might like to have both.

Oh yes, you go get that cute flipping effect - but in this case it's more like the 1942 fighter's roll.
