It's almost a year since Shadowfire was released for the Commodore, then the Spectrum soon afterwards; so obviously someone's been taking their time doing this Amstrad conversion. Never mind, though - for Amstrad strategy addicts who have been straining at the leash waiting for this release, it was worth the wait. 
For those with short memories, the scenario is a futuristic Mission Impossible, with you controlling a team of five renegades who are sent on a suicide rescue job. on board the sky fortress Zoff V. Fairly average space opera you might say. but what makes the game special is the way you control the team, in fact, the whole game - via a series of icons. The whole thing has been faithfully recreated, together with the thumping soundrack. In short, better than the Spectrum version, only slightly inferior to the original, plays like a dream; what more do you want? Popular Computing Weekly |
