Just looked at the Lunar Lander thread put me in mind of that great 8 bit game Thrust.Best 1.99 I every spent on a game.

I don't remember this game but I wish I had played it cause it looks interesting. The type of game to play when you're bored.

I never played this as well and it looks like it could have been a nice time waster.

This reminds me of a similar game on the miggy, I think it might have been called Gravity Force, but I am not sure.Um.. lets see....Yes I was right! Here is a link to the Gravity Force 2 web page which also includes links to a PC remake http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jensa/gf2/

It was a mid eighties budget release on just about every 8 bit micro there was at the time.http://www.mobygames.com/game/thrustNot heard of Gravity Force.

Thrust was a magical game. I played it for hours on the ol' ZX. Oids was my favourite 16-bit successor, while Gravitron 360 is a very good contemporary tribute I'd heartily recommend. Bob Came in Pieces is an interesting divergence as well.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oidshttp://www.xboxindies.com/game/gravitron360http://ludosity.com/library/bob-came-in-pieces/

Looking through some of the reviews on Amiga rack the other day and came across another Thrust clone called Fly Harder.According to the comments on Lemon Amiga it’s a hard game.http://www.lemonamiga.com/Will have to dig out the adf CD and have a look..
