Kirby2000 has set his sights on another classic game, as he has released a brand-new unofficial conversion of The Great Giana Sisters for the ZX Spectrum. While a version of the classic platformer was originally reviewed by magazines back in 1988, it was abruptly withdrawn from production before ever hitting store shelves, leaving no known surviving copies. This anticipated release finally fills that decades-old gap in the microcomputer's speccy library, giving fans a chance to experience the legendary title on the ZX Spectrum as if it was released all those years ago by Time Warp with publishing by Rainbow Arts.
The ambitious port is a rather decent recreation, packing all 33 original stages of platforming action alongside secret bonus rooms and hidden warps. Players can hunt down eight distinct power-ups, compete for the top spot on a high-score table, and enjoy flexible joystick support covering Kempston, Sinclair, and Cursor setups (with custom key mapping also available). Aside from a multiload version for 48K speccies, the release even features a fully functional two-player mode, breathing new life into a lost piece of gaming history.
