Tornado Low Level (also known as T.L.L.) is a game for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC computers, and released by Vortex Software in 1984 . It was written by Costa Panayi who also coded Android, Android 2, Highway Encounter, Cyclone and Revolution.
The player controls a Tornado fighter jet and must maneuver the plane at very low levels. The aim is to collect items on the landscape whilst watching fuel level and avoiding hills, pylons, and other structures. At high speeds the plane's wings wings "sweep back". An interesting feature of the game was the 3D view, which included a shadow of the plane on the ground.
Panayi’s game, Cyclone, featured similar but improved graphics.
