Remarks
| Released for the Spectrum's 40th birthday. Andrew recalls: "Cosmic Swarm is a simple little 16K game that I wrote in 1983 alongside Megapede, Robon and Repulsar. The game was submitted to Softek for publication, but as far as I know it was never released and has been considered MIA, though it did appear in a few magazine ads at the time." |
