Chopper Defence – ZX Spectrum homebrew by PsychicParrot

NOTE: THIS RUNS ON A ZX SPECTRUM COMPUTER and you’ll need an EMULATOR or the real thing to run it on.
THIS DOES NOT PLAY ON REGULAR PC!
Aliens are invading! Again! You’ve been given the job of flying the space defence chopper to keep them from taking over the planet. It’s equipped with the latest state of the art weaponry (lasers!) and it’s Earth’s only hope!
Save the parachuting human pilots in your defence chopper and defeat each wave of enemies to progress to the next level.
Keyboard controls (redefinable from main menu):

Q – Fly up
O – Left
P – Right
SPACE – Fire (hold it down if you like)
H – Toggle pause

Install instructions:
Save the .tap file somewhere you can get to easily. Fire up your ZX Spectrum emulator and load the .tap file. I recommend Retro Virtual Machine as an emulator – it’s super polished and reliable. Get it free here https://www.retrovirtualmachine.org/en/
Made by me, PsychicParrot (Jeff Murray), in 2022. Thanks to Damien Guard for the awesome Standstill font, Jonathan Cauldwell for MPAGD, Quantum Sheep and YOU for keeping the Speccy dream alive!
