I found that a tiny snippet of my very old, very crappy ZX Spectrum graphic artwork had found its way onto the website Games That Weren't late last year, courtesy of Habi Hablóg circa mid-2015. One screen each from my (probably impossible) attempt to correct Ocean's terrible Spectrum conversion of Dragon Ninja, and the original Spectrum version of my Ocean-style adaptation of the very first Dark Horse Aliens Vs Predator comic book series.

This got me scouring my SAM Coupé disks, both for the SAM demo I'd put together and for any of the Spectrum stuff which I ported over as MODE 1 SCREEN$ before reworking them (very poorly!) for MODE 4.

Level 3 is a side-scrolling run-and-gun in which Machiko Noguchi wanders through town looking for survivors and finding lots and lots of Xenomorphs. The map is a Defender-style scanner showing friendlies, enemies, power-ups (the POW icon just in front of the player sprite) and objectives, such as the power breakers, door controls, computers, etc. I recycle this background in its entirety for my level 5.1 screenshot.
