***CANNED GAME***
No idea what this game was about, but I do know that it was called Terminus.
Technician Ted, ZX Spectrum
Screenshots of every level of Hewson’s 1984 platform-gaming classic, Technician Ted. And what a tough game it is! It’s playable and very colourful, though.

Novalogic released a series of Comanche helicopter combat games in the 1990s. They began with the excellent Comanche: Maximum Overkill in 1992, and continued on with them until 2001.

Aleste 2, MSX
Aleste 2 is a stand-out title on the MSX2. It has superb, colourful graphics, and challenging, fast-paced shooter gameplay.

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Atari Jaguar
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story is a fighting game, based on the 1993 film by Rob Cohen and starring Jason Scott Lee, and released for the Atari Jaguar in 1994. Like the film, the game is a fictionalised dramatisation of the life of actor and martial artist, Bruce Lee, taking place in various time periods with Bruce fighting against different adversaries.
