Amstrad Magnum Phaser

Revision as of 17:21, 7 December 2006 by 62.252.128.15 (Talk)

The Light Phaser gun from Amstrad

The Magnum Phazer was released later on in the Amstrads' life, and retailed for £24.99 in the UK. It came supplied with a cassette and a disk, both containing six games: - Operation Wolf - Bullseye - Missile Ground Zero - Rookie - Solar Invasion - Robot Attack

The main reason to buy this gun was for the excellent Amstrad conversion of Operation Wolf. Playing this with a light gun on your Arnold was the arcade experience people relished but rarely got back in the 80's. The other supplied games were fun for a while, but by far the high point was Operation Wolf.

Mastertronic released some more games with Magnum phaser support, but they were mostly budget type Spectrum ports, and were a poor relation to the mighty OperWolf!
