Highlander was released in the cinemas in 1986 starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. It flopped until making its Home Video appearance where it went on to become what is considered a cult classic today. Join OGDuffy as he looks at the three versions released and compares and rates in this VS video.

It was Ocean Software's policy back then to get in quick and secure the licenses for film, TV and Arcade game titles so they could bring these themes to the home computer markets. In the case of Highlander namely the 8 Bit Computers of the day:
Sinclair ZX Spectrum
Commodore 64
Amstrad CPC

The Highlander computer game landed in the same year as the films initial release to very mixed reviews. Queen supplied another great film soundtrack for Highlander but would this translate into the home computer game versions and if so, would this save the game?

These questions and more will be answered whilst OGDuffy delves into the short history and story of Highlander the film and how Ocean software got the rights to the game, followed by the usual comparisons of Highlander the game on the only systems it was released for.

So which version will triumph? Will the Sinclair ZX Spectrum hold its own against the Amstrad CPC? Or will the Martin Galway theme on the Commodore 64 make it the winner? One things for sure we are going to see a result unlike any we have seen before in the VS / comparison videos.
