Do you remember this game? I’m betting almost all of you don’t. Ethnipod was a freebie on the Your Sinclair covertape, and I’m not sure it was even released in any other way.
It’s a flip-screen shooter in the same kind of mould as Cybernoid, but without the array of different weapons (and ludicrous explosions), and with a great two-player mode. Much of your progress is considered and timing is important, so it plays more slowly than most similar games.
Here’s the original blurb from Your Sinclair’s cover tape pages, May 1991:

The emulator used is Qaop/JS – a rather spiffy HTML5 Spectrum emulator.
