My game Wasp! has been reviewed in the UK retro magazine called Retro Gamer. I hope they don't mind me attaching a copy of it here. For those in the UK its at the top of page 99 in edition 66.

It scored 72%. Quiet respectable for a "C" game on an 8-bitter :lol:.

Two parcels have arrived containing all the Wasp! carts for the pre-order. Pictures will be added to the pre-order thread later. All in all a maximum Wasp! day :D.

That's cool. I like the "story" they came up with!

The game's real backstory is on the back of the 7800's 25th birthday box.

Congrats! Good to see that article but I think they could have been a little more generous with the score. :)

Thanks Kroogur. To be honest, I'm very happy with it. The game was about two weeks of work to code. It probably uses more than 90% of the 7800's "C" development system library and it gives me something to aim at for future releases. Onwards and upwards as they say :D.

Yep, I know. I have the box and I like that story too. ;)
