Given the positive or shocking response to sf II port of speccy,i decided to start a thread and show on what lesser known but good ports of games are available for the system that appeared on the late 80s/early 90s,these games can be found on search or on ebay-

U.N. Squadron rules big time, used to love playing it in the arcade and on SNES but if I remember correctly you could only play single player on SNES

Yep. The SNES game was changed an awful lot though and ended up a much better game.

Used to love UN Squadron on the C64 but I think it's more to do with the fact that if you stayed on the bottom of the screen you could never die except the cave and final level.

Retrogamer did a good article on the 128 and I was impressed with the machine from what I read, pity it never gained much popularity.

Best spectrum games ever though are laser squard and chaos. Only discovered them recently but they are still great. Laser Squad is really advanced and two player is great. Chaos on the other hand is a brilliant 8 player game!

Edit: UN Squadron on the 128 is much better than the C64 version. Every boss in that just did a standard 3 way attack over and over and beating them involved finding the bosses sweet spot where he couldn't hit you.
