The History of Robotron 2084

A tale of Robotron 2084 – A game that dared to glitch, a game that embraced its bugs like a badge of honour. It's a testament to a bygone era when games weren't just about pixel counts, but about the spirit of raw, unfiltered fun.

Top Gear - SNES - 1992

Image
Based on speed alone, Top Gear on the SNES craps all over the likes of F-Zero and F1 Exhaust Heat! There, I’ve said it. Top Gear is just so damn fast! But there's much more to this wonderful game!   In Top Gear, you get to race through seven different countries, each one comes with its own events. In this you race through the streets of Paris, a sprawling metropolis, and the Sahara Desert; you notice all sorts of famous landmarks on your way to the finish line. There are finely layered tarmac roads, dusty roads, and mud entrenched b-roads. The  night racing looks and feels amazing, but there’s a constant fight for visibility. Motorways can be up to eight lanes wide; impressive when you consider the sheer amount of cars on screen at any one time. Your car is also equipped with three nitro boosts; as with the game ChaseHQ, save ‘em for the long straights. You can choose from four vehicles, but I think the blue car gives the better balance, having a top speed of 137mph...

The Top Gun of NES Games: My 8 Favourite Classics That Still Soar

Image
  The Nintendo Entertainment System was more than a console it was a gateway to adventure, a pixelated playground where every click of a cartridge ignited joy. As a lad, I’d lose myself in its worlds, the hum of the telly and the clack of the controller my soundtrack to countless afternoons. Sure, legends like The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania, and Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! deserve their praise, but my heart belongs to eight NES gems that defined my late childhood entry to the NES: Top Gun, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby’s Adventure, Contra, M.U.L.E., Mega Man 2, Rad Racer, and Batman: The Video Game. These are my Top Gun of NES games - titles that flew high then and still hold up today. Let’s take a nostalgic flight through why they’re so special, what critics thought at the time, and how they play now. 1. Top Gun (1987) Top Gun was my Maverick moment. I’d squint at the screen, imagining myself as a hotshot pilot dodging missiles and nailing that carrier landing. The game’s flight sim v...

Amstrad CPC 8-bit exclusive games

Image
Have you ever wondered what Amstrad CPC games were exclusive to the Amstrad CPC? The list below is what I know of, some of the games below are truly awful, but then again, there's quite a few games I wouldn't have missed for the world. This is by no means a definitive list of exclusives, and in most cases, you can find these games on the Amiga, ST and Consoles, but you won't find 'em on the ZX Spectrum or C64 (That's if I've done my homework correctly).  There's some real classic amongst this lot, Bumpy is brilliant, as is Bactron and D.Day is a masterclass in arcade strategy. I also found a game I never knew existed in 'Dempsey and Makepeace' a classic cop series set in the 80s. But the jewel in the crown for me is Get Dexter. Star Driver needs to be checked out if you've never played it, it scrolls along like a mode 7 game, the scrolling technique from the SNES, and if you think you're ready for a challenge, try Builderland, it needs...
