Jamie Woodhouse, of ‘Quak‘ fame on the Amiga and GBA, has recently started to dig out various unreleased games which he worked on and which have never seen the light of day until now.

One such game is ‘Zap‘, which is a great looking Star Force clone on the BBC.   For now you can check out the video clip above, but keep an eye out on http://blog.jamiewoodhouse.co.uk/ where the disk image will soon be released.
