About the Game

Originally released in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum, this first-person rail shooter from British developer Imagine saw players take on the role of the pilot of a high tech Ground Skimmer, fighting to protect the lives of escaping refugees from waves of ruthless enemies. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.

Gameplay

The Ground Skimmer automatically flies forwards at a set speed. Aim and shoot with your dual machine guns, and with powerful missiles when they become available. Refugees walk across the screen, and if they successfully reach the other side they will be saved. Protect them at all costs.


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
