Amaurote's pretty cool, though the game is a lot simpler than it appears at first glance, with a limited selection of enemies and weapons. The fact that your projectiles will bounce around and even over the enemy you're trying to hit is frustrating but gives the game a certain addictive quality.

Ste Pickford's sprite work is excellent, you can kinda see how it influenced later games he worked on like Equinox and Plok.

I'm so dead inside that the only games I enjoy anymore have a novelty factor, and the Spectrum is good on that front. It's like an alternate history system, full of genres and tropes that never escaped the 8 bit computing era.
