Is this a film reference? Anyway, that was a good read, thankyou. I liked my helipcopter games back in the day, though this passed me by. Its certainly harder than Aiwolf. But then, most games are harder than Airwolf :D [/quote] Cheers mate. It's a Star Wars quote, bet you know it now 😉 Airwolf easy...

Yeah sounds like it might have been a bit rushed. With more time and variety, it could have been a hit

I think that might have come before KK and was the inspiration for it, sure I've read that somewhere..

Really nice article, @AlWo73. @Lee P There's definitely a knack to Kosmic Kanga and loads of people seem to find it uncontrollable. For instance, in the Sinclair User review: But don't believe a word of it! The controls are very precise once you get used to them. The secret is in using the down key...

You'll come round one day Mirkin

Comparing Satan to Sqij'd doesn't feel right for me. They are different types of games. Would you compare Hungry Horace to Robocop? And Satan is a good game indeed. I believe it's a clone of a game called Black Tiger which we also have on Spectrum: https://www.mobygames.com/game/15075/black-tiger/ ...

I'm guessing that Einar started with the TK95 which was a 1986 ZX Spectrum clone by Microdigital Eletrônica, a company located at São Paulo, Brazil.

Thanks Peter
And Einar for creating ZXDB if course (which I did know, his fame in Spectrum circles is considerable )
