Playing Eye of Horus (C64)

Hi there!

Walking like an Egyptian in another Amiga/ST to C64 conversion:

Well, despite the refreshing theme this production of the short lived developer Logotron was a rather uninspired Action-Adventure, with only average graphics, music and gameplay.

The game is backed by a weird story...

Posted by Cybergoth, 28 October 2010 · 39 views

Hi there!

The third report in a row with actually nothing much to report and the Wii slowly fading away. And our DVD player also just died. Thank heavens the PS3 will arrive in less than two months!

The list of games I'm done with: Zelda TP, Excite Truck, Metal Slug Anthology, Geometry Wars, Bully :thumbsup:

Playing Stunt Car Racer (C64)

Posted by Cybergoth, in Playing... 15 October 2010 · 112 views

Hi there!

The legendary Geoff Crammond (Revs / The Sentinel) strikes again with a racing game:

I barely feature any racing games in this series. They age ultra fast and usually they're a boring simulation of real-life sports. A very few qualify as video games...

Hi there!

Here comes one of the dozen comic license games from Infogrames:

Infogrames did tons of games based on French comics in their early days, like Isnogud, Passengers on the Wind, Quest for the Time Bird, Lee Enfield. Most of which were horrible (the games, not the comics!)....

Playing Mr. Heli (C64)

Hi there!

A cute little Non-R-Type shoot'em up from Irem, converted to the 64 by Probe Software:

I'm sure this game must have an amazing background story, but all I can tell you is that Mr. Heli is on a mission to shoot everything that moves in 3 different themed, pretty detailed...

Playing Citadel (C64)

Posted by Cybergoth, in Playing... 05 October 2010 · 229 views

Hi there!

One of the last games from Activisions short lived Electric Dreams label:

Posted Image

I think Citadel was their last C64 game, with most of their releases usually being total garbage. Also, this was the third game from Martin Walker, who's previous two efforts "Chameleon" and...

Playing Datastorm (Amiga)

Hi there!

I bet you won't find a Defender clone with more enemies on the screen at once:

The Defender experts amongst you will now rightfully point out that it's actually closer to Dropzone than Defender, but that wasn't too far away from Defender to begin with.

Anyway,...

Hi there!

Uh-oh, outnumbered by sharks 3:1 in the sequel of Army Moves:

Yup, Spains multi-part-game developers Dinamic are delivering here once again. As usual for them, Navy Moves is split into two major parts. The first load is a set of 4 different action scenes, the...

Playing Newzealand Story (NES)

Hi there!

Impressive! I really didn't manage to finish this classic jump'n'shoot in one night:

Not even with savestates!

For one is it really big with 20 large levels, and then underneath the thick layer of cutesy it's getting tough as nails halfway into...

Playing Action Fighter (C64)

Posted by Cybergoth, in Playing... 19 September 2010 · 228 views

Hi there!

A rather unusual vertical shoot'em up conversion from Sega:

Posted Image

Unusual, because unlike other spectacular arcade games from Sega at the time (Space Harrier, Thunderblade, Afterburner), this was a plain and simple oldskool 2D experience, converted to the C64 by Core...
