Such an excellent game. Used to play this on an old ZX Spectrum endlessly when I was a kid. Cobra, missiles and mining lasers - the perfect setup. 🚀👨‍🚀

I had a joystick (Kempston?) that wasn't set pointing forward, so you could turn it around and it'd be right for the rear view mining laser Ridiculously stupid fun Then I was playing at my cousins and he got tribbles, we didn't get the missions :-(
