Mega Phoenix is not a bad "remake" of the famous coin-op shooter but once you collect that really small number of weapons it becomes very repetitive. I personally prefer the C-64 version because it has better sound, graphics, considerably smoother rendering and responsive controls. On ZX Spectrum I would rather recommend playing Pheenix from mid-80s. Or go for the original coin-op version of Phoenix by Taito - still the best by far...
