Globus, the most sophisticated robot in the universe, has been put under your control in order to rid the "Xenon" planet of its total destruction. To achieve it you must restore the energy level of all sectors of the central reactor. Avoid the robots that the enemy sends to sabotage your mission. Deactivate the bombs before it's too late! Globus was developed for the popular ZX Spectrum computer in 1987 and remained unpublished until its release in 2017, 30 years later! Now you can enjoy this new version of that old game, which retains the same graphics, music and sound effects than the original ZX Spectrum version, and improves movement, score and gameplay in general.
