When the first batch of Spectrum Next reached their owners in 2020, one of the highlights in showing what the hardware could do came in the form of Rusty PIxels' trio of releases - Baggers in Space, Tyvarian and Warhawk.

After looking at Tyvarian previously, it's time for a look at Warhawk, which also takes the opportunity to explore its origins on the Commodore 64 & Atari 8-Bits!
