Saboteur 2 - Classic Action Adventure ZX Spectrum 128k beta release!

Now here's a blast from the past and a game that I remember as being one of the best action-adventure games I had ever played on the Amstrad CPC 464. It's 'Saboteur II' developed by Clive Townsend and released by Durell Software in 1987, the same publishers behind the incredible dragon flying 'Thanatos'. This fine game was released for many platforms such as the CPC, ZX Spectrum and C64 and featured a female protagonist who must break into a high-security compound, fight off guards, avoid pumas and alter the course of a nuclear ballistic missile and then escape on a motorbike. But the news of today is this all time classic game is getting a 128k remake for the ZX Spectrum by Alex Rider which will feature better frame rates (faster), fixed bugs and much more.

Although the remake version is still in an early development stage and available to play today by anyone, we are most impressed by what was on offer so far. It is certainly smoother than I remember and is playable even at such an early release with guards to fight and ladders to climb. However in development for a year, we are unsure as to when the game will be released in it's remaked form especially as the discussion forums is completely in Russian. But what we can say is, I am certainly looking forward to playing this and putting it side by side to the original Amstrad version.
