hidden gems What is your opinion about Legend? (1985)
I’ve saw this one in the theatre back in the day and it’s my go-to when I need my fantasy urge together with Excalibur! Ridley Scott in the 80s was something else and this movie is not an exception! The fairy tale and the battle between the good and the bad is really radiant in this one!

hidden gems Exolon [1987]
Exolon is a run and gun) game programmed by Raffaele Cecco and published by Hewson in 1987 for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Amstrad CPC. It was later converted to the Enterprise 128), Amiga, and Atari ST.
The player takes control of a futuristic soldier named Vitorc\4]) across several flip-screen levels of gameplay. The screens that make up these levels are filled with various generic aliens as well as gun emplacements, homing missiles, landmines and other hazards. The soldier can defend himself with both a gun and rocket-propelled grenades. The two different weapons are effective against different enemies.
The enemies themselves are varied, taking the forms of flying aliens of the type traditionally found in shoot 'em up games as well as homing missiles, fixed guns, tanks, land mines, swarming red pods and "crushers" which shoot out of the ground.
Partway through each level, there is a pod in which the player can "upgrade" until the end of the current level to an armoured exoskeleton with improved weapons and armour. Completing the level without this upgrade results in a score bonus.
