Oids PC - A brilliant Thrust-like game comes over to the ZX Spectrum NEXT

I was going to have a break today, but I recently found about the release of Oids PC by Mausthekat for the ZX Spectrum NEXT. A faithful, built-from-scratch recreation of Dan Hewitt’s classic 1987 Atari ST game, newly optimized for the ZX Spectrum Next. Far from a lazy emulation, this tribute preserves the notoriously unforgiving physics that defined the original experience, challenging pilots to master a flight model based on momentum, gravity, and sixteen precise headings of another classic that many of us remember, thrust.

The game features smooth 60fps performance alongside an optional CRT filter, covering all six original galaxies. Players must navigate treacherous terrain to dismantle gun towers, rescue stranded androids, and manage fuel, with the gameplay heavily punishing any sloppy landings on the treacherous planet surfaces. Every planet is a small level: terrain that will kill you, defences that will shoot you, and androids that need a lift. Pull the defences apart, set down by a jail, load up, and get back off the surface!
