Virus/Zarch was developed by David Braben in 1987, for the release of the Acorn Archimedes. Zarch started off as a demo called Lander which was bundled with almost all releases of the Acorn Archimedes.
The Spectrum started as a bedroom project, as Firebird did not believe the game was viable on 8-bit systems. It was not until Steve Dunn had written a demo of the ship flying over the landscape that anything official was signed.
Virus can be a clumsy play at times, I'm not sure if it's aged well, yet there's no denying it, to play this on the Spectrum is a technical wonder.
