The Magnum Phazer was released later on in the Amstrads' life, and retailed for £24.99 in the UK. It came supplied with a cassette and a disk, both containing six games:
- Operation Wolf
- Bullseye
- Missile Ground Zero
- Rookie
- Solar Invasion
- Robot Attack
The main reason to buy this gun was for the excellent Amstrad conversion of Operation Wolf. Playing this with a light gun on your Arnold was the arcade experience people relished but rarely got back in the 80's. The other supplied games were fun for a while, but by far the high point was Operation Wolf.
Mastertronic released some more games with Magnum phaser support, but they were mostly budget type Spectrum ports, and were a poor relation to the mighty OperWolf!
