About the Game

Originally released in 1988, this classic isometric game for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC from famed publishers Ocean Software saw players take on the role of a superhero trying to defeat the evil overlord Zarg, who has infiltrated the Phantom Club, a collection of super heroes possessed with strange and deadly powers. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version, which contains both the Spectrum and Amstrad versions.

Gameplay

Make your way through hundreds of challenging rooms, dodging traps and hazards, and fighting your fellow superheroes that Zarg has turned to evil! Use your mighty 'Brainstorm' power to shoot psychic bolts to fight such fearsome enemies as the terrifying 'transforming beings' and the loathsome 'man-spiders'! Climb the ranks from Zelator (Beginner) all the way up to Ipsisimus (Overlord) - only then can you have a hope of defeating Zarg!


This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
  • Full control remapping
  • Image scaling and smoothing options
