Spy Hunter, ZX Spectrum
Sega did a marvellous job of converting Bally Midway‘s classic Spy Hunter onto the ZX Spectrum in 1984.
Not only is the game colourful and beautifully-adapted to Sir Clive‘s diminutive machine, but it’s also very playable, fun, and challenging.
Steve Crow’s Classic ZX Spectrum Games
Game designer Stephen J. Crow made some seminal games for the ZX Spectrum, starting with Laser Snaker in 1983 and Factory Breakout in 1984 for Poppy Soft.

Factory Breakout, ZX Spectrum
Steve Crow‘s second game, Factory Breakout, was published by Poppy Soft in 1984.
Laser Snaker, ZX Spectrum
Considering that Laser Snaker was Steve Crow‘s first commercial game: it is not only an excellent one, but it also shows Crow‘s flair for high quality presentation.

The Intellivision console has a very good conversion of Konami‘s arcade hit Super Cobra, courtesy of Parker Brothers.

Park Brothers developed this conversion of Konami‘s classic arcade game, Super Cobra, and released it on Atari 8-bit home computers in 1983.
Super Cobra, Arcade
Konami‘s Super Cobra was released into video game arcades in 1981. It not only uses the same hardware as Konami‘s hit game Scramble, but it also borrows many of its gameplay features.

Microsurgeon is a fantasy action game set inside a human body, similar in many respects to the scenario in the classic film Fantastic Voyage.
You control a microscopic robot and must administer care to patients in need of it.
