General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

Not Dominator.

This is from a later level of the game, where the colours and sprite designs have changed.
OTOH I expect most people that have played this game will have seen all the levels as it's not massively difficult.

Chronos. I'd have thought @Joefish might have got that one.

You're right! I should have noticed the gun turret if not the baddie. It's been a while since I sat down for long enough to play it right through!

Is there any other publisher that has such a consistent and identifiable graphic style?

It is, indeed, Hellfire.

That first image looked very hi-res with shadows on the arrows, like from the packaging or something.

Android One.

That's the one.

I grabbed it from the video originally, rather than the screenshot. Presumably it's an emulator TV filter that's added the colour bleed.

"Some kind of Bomber game"... couldn't tell you which one out of all the 100-or-so it'll be, though!
Spectribution: Dr. Jim's Sinclair computing pages.
Features my own programs, modified type-ins, RZXs, character sets & UDGs, and QL type-ins... so far!

Haha, I was going to just randomly guess 'Bomber', hoping to randomly hit on one of the many variants, a bit like the game's actual gameplay... :lol:

I suspect it's a red herring though and it's something completely different...

Is that Canary Wharf proliferating across the multiverse?

If you click on the image the sub text on postimage is "bomber"...
Slightly unusual version of the game in that the buildings are 16 pixels wide.
Having browsed the bomber and inspiration: Blitz titles in the DB I'm beginning to suspect a trap. Like Morkin.

Is the right answer. See, it honestly was Bomber (Even if it was a mini-game).

Here we go (sorry for taking so long, I tried to get to the Short Circuit Space Invaders mini-game and failed, then tried to get to Pyjamarama's Space Invaders mini-game and failed, then tried to get to Everyone's a Wally's Asteroids mini-game and... yes you guessed it)
