Lol watching the Knockout video that has to be the worst rendition of a well known tune (eye of the tiger) I have ever heard.

I suppose Survivor can't sue though since it was so terrible it would look bad on them ;)

Funnily enough I was reading the thread yesterday about the poor rendition of OMD's Enola Gay and it reminded me of Knockout.

Nope. Let's zoom out a touch. Only 1 more pixel, but this could change everything…

Now you've done that it was easy to name the game, but I will not spoil it for others. :lol:

Sorry, after Van_Dammesque got it, I assumed everyone would.

Zooming out JUST ONE MORE PIXEL may give the game away completely…

It's a Spectrum game - has colour and everything.

Budget game by a big publisher, but not widely reviewed.

Needs a map and an RZX creating, if anyone is bored,

Ignore me - there is a map, just not a screenshot map.

Don't think it's that, but excellent guess, looks very similar.

It's not that - you fell into the trap.

It has the same perspective and similar style graphics that I think have been ported (badly) from CPC mode 0 graphics.

Still hard to believe it's not Spy vs Spy. The split-screen concept is reminding me of the previous game, Deactivators.
