The year was 1986 and a global threat had emerged. A mysterious virus was spreading across the globe, turning people into violent zombies. The world's top agents were recruited to form an elite team known as SHADOW, tasked with stopping the deadly outbreak.
Players take on the role of the leader of SHADOW, navigating through a series of levels set in various locations around the world, from cities to forests. As they progress, they must fight off hordes of infected and avoid deadly traps set by the enemy.
The gameplay is fast-paced and action-packed, with an emphasis on shooting and fighting mechanics. The game features large enemy waves and requires precise timing to dispatch them all before they overwhelm the player character. With a limited number of lives and an escalating difficulty curve, players must be quick-witted and resourceful to survive.
Line of Fire was released for the ZX Spectrum in 1990 and has since become a cult classic among retro gamers.
