Description
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.

Here we have Broken Tusk casually lifting one of his trainees up, having stabbed him in the chest with his claw weapon. Another trainee faces off against Machiko Noguchi nearby, and an alien egg sits next to the door control panel. This is the final run through the Lector, to start the self-destruct program, so the map is the full Defender-style scanner, showing the locations of all nearby enemies, friendlies, and power-ups.
