Dan dare the original Super Hero was being featured on the Earth Broadcasting Corporation “This is you Life” programme. The invited guests who spoke glowingly of Dan’s achievements, his bravery and compassion, included . . .
His faithfull friend Digby who had shared so many of Dan’s adventures, Professor Peabody, Space Fleet Commander Sir Hubert Guest, Sondor the Venusian ambassador along with his equivalent from every planet in the known universe.
It seemed the whole world had turned out to honour Dan. Dan Dare, embarrased but deeply moved by these accolades, stepped forward to speak, suddenly the picture on every vid screen in the solar system changed into a series of horizontal lines, slowly clearing to reveal none other than the evil green face of the Mekon.
The Mekon proceeded to tell of his dastardly plan to propel a hollowed out asteroid the size of a minor planet on a collision course with Earth . If the powers that be did not give into his terms Earth would be eliminated.
If they agreed the asteroid would be harmlessly detonated, Earth would be safe and the Mekon would take over as commander of the universe.They could not give in to the Mekon’s threats but what was the alternative?
In the studio the assembled gathering turned their gaze to one man, Colonel Dan Dare knew what he had to do.

The speccy version was a different game , more of a arcade running/gun game.
I always prefered the c64 arcade adventure version.
The amstrad was different again
[...] As well as the original C64 version, this game has also been the subject of a remake for Windows by Ovine by Design. You can get it here. [...]
