Shadowfire is a tactical puzzle-adventure game developed by Denton Designs and released in 1985 for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Amstrad CPC. The player controls the Enigma Team, a squad of six mercenaries assembled by the Emperor to carry out a rescue mission aboard the spaceship of General Zoff, a rogue military commander. Zoff holds Ambassador Kryxix as his prisoner, and the stakes extend beyond a simple abduction — micro-disc plans for a revolutionary new spacecraft are concealed within the Ambassador's spine. Should Zoff's inquisitors locate these schematics, the empire faces a serious military threat. Players must manage the six team members strategically, coordinating their distinct capabilities to infiltrate Zoff's vessel, free the Ambassador, and prevent the plans from falling into enemy hands before time runs out.
