Arcade conversions on the ZX Spectrum were typically lacklustre affairs due principally to the modest power of the machine these games were being ported to. Flying Shark by Graftgold was an exception however as programmer Dominic Robinson managed with some amazing technical wizardry to create a smooth scrolling vertical shoot'em up that would even rival the C64 despite its lack of hardware support.
This video is an archive of a Twitch stream that was aired on 11th March 2018 on this channel: http://twitch.tv/theretroasylum
The machine used to stream the game was the ZX Spectrum + 128 that was refurbished by Mutant Caterpillar:
