Yet another game ID question...
Tucked away in a box somewhere I know I have this game, but for the life of me I can't remember the name...
It was on the Spectrum.
Iirc its a licenced game, possibly along the lines of Action Force - some sort of toy soldier.
Gameplay consisted of a friendly soldier automatically running forward through a building, with the player taking the part of a remote sniper - you'd have to take out enemies before they could atack the soldier. You never saw yourslef on screen, you just had a crosshair to shoot.
I really want to give this a go again as I remember it being really good but I want to check for rose tints.
TIA

You're all corporate bitches if you buy a console - face it. Unless it's a Phantom - in that case you're just stupid - because even if it did exist it'd be crap

Re: Yet another game ID question...
I would if I could. At best, its buried under a huge pile of stuff at the back of my loft (so I should find it later this week), at worst its in the same position in my mum's loft. I've not seen it for over a decade...mel the bell wrote: go get it out the box then

Rather embarrasingly, it really is an Action Force game - I'd only looked at the first one and its totally different

It's Action Force 2
