I admit I have a special nostalgic love of Zzoom - it was one of many Imagine games I received with my first Spectrum, and comfortably the best of the lot. Written by John ‘Grandad’ Gibson (he got that nickname because he was an ‘ancient’ 30 compared to practically everyone else in the industry at the time), it’s a technically impressive and fast shoot-'em-up with a devious element to it - you can shoot the refugees you are supposed to be saving, resulting in them spinning hilariously into the air!
