Terror-Daktil 4D was released in 1983 for the ZX Spectrum, and gave players a unique twist on the traditional arcade shooter, as they must carefully aim arcing shots at flocks of enemies. The game also contains an opening cinematic cutscene – a rarity for early 80s computer games. Released by Melbourne House.

Game Awards
“The perfect arcade game is a combination of superb graphics and a challenging game. Terror Daktil from Melbourne House, the people who brought you the Hobbit, is half perfect. The graphics are among the best that I have ever seen on a micro” – Computer and Video Games (October 1983).
