Description
I found that a tiny snippet of my very old, very crappy ZX Spectrum graphic artwork had found its way onto the website Games That Weren't late last year, courtesy of Habi Hablóg circa mid-2015. One screen each from my (probably impossible) attempt to correct Ocean's terrible Spectrum conversion of Dragon Ninja, and the original Spectrum version of my Ocean-style adaptation of the very first Dark Horse Aliens Vs Predator comic book series.

This got me scouring my SAM Coupé disks, both for the SAM demo I'd put together and for any of the Spectrum stuff which I ported over as MODE 1 SCREEN$ before reworking them (very poorly!) for MODE 4.

I clearly tried to add some colour to the Spectrum version, even here... These days, I might fill out the black frame of the POW icon a bit more, so it looks less like a 3x2 clump of 8x8 pixel attribute blocks.
