1987 Dinamic
by Snatcho


Fight the army of Terminators leaded by the beautiful but evil queen Gremla, guiding her once faithful warrior, Arkos, after he discovered the evil plans of the queen.
The problem with spanish software, curiously, is the same with games of today I think, great graphics but bad gameplay.
Loved the title name, and my reset button did too!

A tough and taxing game, especially in the second part, Game Over shows great graphics - although with a fair bit of color clash here and there - and frantic, nail-biting gameplay. It is difficult, but if you manage to complete it without cheating, you will have something to be proud of!

Not recommended to players which are either easily discouraged, or anguished at the thought of feeling alone agains seemingly endless hordes of enemies, or both.

A mythical Spanish title that even got several sequels during the subsequent years !!! GAME OVER

The game is hard but quite attractive and well programmed.

In Spain during the 80´s there was a wave of 1st quality national software companies -such as Opera, Dinamic, Topo, etc.- that supplied games for the Zx Spectrum as well as some press publications like MICROHOBBY and MICROMANIA and ZX that analized those games for benefit of the user.

This serves as a proof of the immense popularity of the Spectrum in Spain during the 80´s and early 90´s.

GAME OVER represents the pinnacle of those crazy years and I would dare to say that is the most representative Spanish game for the ZX Spectrum.

I am not a big fan of Spanish companies but some of their programs were quite remarkable, Game Over is one of them.


Ps - The futuristic sexy girl in the cover was a landmark of Spanish software companies during the 80´s and 90´s as you might have guessed by now. In Spain this phaenomena was known as "el destape". ;D

Great shooter by Dinamic, maybe one of its best works (and one of my faves!)

It takes place in a futuristic planet, a hard mission divided into the usual Dinamic's two loading parts. As in Army Moves, the first part is a lineal game, unlike the second one, that is more of an adventure.

The game is hard, but embellished with cool and coloured graphics and nice sounds.

A pretty good destroy-them-all-and-squash-them-up with platforms, elevators and ladders through a series of flip screens inhabitated by futuristic and slimy monsters, all in glorious Colourclashoscope. You gotta love those titties.

3,75/5
