Lightforce by Faster Than Light
So obviously this has that amazing hubbard soundtrack, though I probably should have switched to an 8580 for it (I have a sid switch on my c64) but it still sounds pretty great even on this 6581 - heavy filters, though.
But lets talk about the game. Jesus christ is it harder than I remember... I don't have an autofire joystick, and the game _clearly_ wants to have one. But also... you MUST memories the enemy patterns - because if you miss _one_ enemy at all, they just home in on you. ESP is an essential component of this game, to the level of something like Rick Dangerous.
Which is kind of sad, because it sounds and looks great. But, honsetly, the playability of this has aged _really badly_, just by being so rote memorisation based.
