S.C.I.O.N. - A great ZX Spectrum game via BitmapSoft by SausageWareGames goes FREE!

It felt like it was only just yesterday, that I spoke about SausageWareGames awesome reimagining of Knightmare for the ZX Spectrum.  A much deserved and more enjoyable Knightmare game, which in itself is based around a kids TV show from the 1980's. Well this developer is back in the news, as after previously releasing S.C.I.O.N through BitmapSoft, which is an intense run and gun game. The developer has now made the game free as a digital download.

In this game, you are a part of the Special Covert Infiltration Operations Network, known to insiders as S.C.I.O.N. S.C.I.O.N is a top secret, inter-governmental agency dedicated to rooting out and defeating the toughest multi-national criminal organizations. You’ll need to battle through dangerous jungle and oppressive swamps in order to infiltrate the secret underground lair of Maz Mort’s evil Morticians Gang. Once you've infiltrated the lair, you are tasked with locating the reactor that powers the base, overloading it and getting the hell out of there. Just make sure to keep an eye on your SCION comms device along the way to keep you resupplied and upgraded. Good luck
