Released in 1987 by System 3 this game takes The Way of the Exploding Fist, throws another player on the screen and some bonus stages in, and cranks it up to 10.
It's a great game for the Speccy, but I find the main graphics to be a bit ugly. It doesn't have the speed like the #commodore64 version, which makes the game chug along.
If you want more Spectrum goodness then please head over to these places where Spectrum User is waiting for you.

This is a new section for the channel called "Ports From Speccy".
Its just games we all know about for the ZX Spectrum that's been ported over to other systems. I figured that it may be interesting to see how other systems faired and see just how different they are.
ZX Spectrum extraordinaire's Retrosouls have released a new game for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis a few days back and its called Old Towers.
In this game, you must guide your explorers through the old towers which are full of traps and monsters to gather the treasure. It will take a quick reaction and a clever mind to get through all the levels.
The game is free to download, but if you want to donate some beer money then, by all means, give these devs the support they deserve.

I use Virtual Retro Machine for this one because it can emulate a ZX UNO. It should work on a real Spectrum although I would suggest using a 128k model.

Below is a quick rundown on how I found the game and my own experiences.
This might be different to yours but by all means comment below and let me know what you thought of the game.
Good Points
You get 2 games for the price of one (Cecconoid & EVGATron)
Very good retro style graphics
Banging music that’s freaking amazing
Twin Stick Shooter action which I love
Controller support (which is what I used for the video)
It's not expensive to buy
Bad Points
There should be Windows, MAC and Linux ports
Graphics 8/10
Sound 9/10
Playability 9/10
Overall 9/10
Final Verdict
Cecconoid puts you back to when the games were fun, yet simple. As the name suggests Cecconoid gives a massive high five to the classic Cybernoid game that was released by Hewson in 1987 for the home computers.
You also get EVGATron which is a Robotron 2084 clone and features all the stuff you would expect it to have and maybe a bit more.
Graphically are detailed and done in a way that nostalgia smacks you in the face.
The sound effects and music are fantastic as they really set the mood perfectly to blast everything in your way.
All in all it's a fantastic package for mobile devices and I hope there are plans for other ports on PC and MAC.

This is a port of Sonic the Hedgehog for the ZX Evolution.
Its quite faithful to the Sega Master System port although you will notice its slightly slower and all the sound and music is a few octaves lower. It's still an amazing port though and well worth your time if you like Sonic games.
