They Killed My Little One (ZX Spectrum)

Introduction:

It was late when Brando returned from the pub where he and his friends were playing pool. He had been retired for a year, so he had plenty of time to himself. He was lonely. Well, not quite, as he still had his little one.

He was going to drink whiskey and look at his most precious thing before going to bed. He always did that.

When he got to the apartment, his detective sense let him know that something wasn't right. And indeed it was; the apartment had been trashed. He began searching his memory for hundreds of faces of criminals he had put in jail or killed. Who could do that?

And suddenly, he saw something he feared most. The fish was lying dead on the floor. His goldfish that he loved so much was dead! They killed his little one fish!

They will pay for it.. he wanted to clean up this city a long time ago, and now he has a reason to do so!

How to play. 

Avoid bombs and bandits. Each collision takes away one life point. You can shoot at the bandits. At level 1 they have one life point, up to three at higher levels. You can replenish your life by collecting hearts. Ammunition can be found by collecting cartridges (bullets). In order to pass the level, you need to collect a key.

The game is not difficult and you will probably soon find the culprit of this crime.
