And we were getting worried because they were quiet... yes, there is another new Mojon Twins game girls and boys! Zombie Calavera Prologue might well be another platformer but it does at least have a different look for an 8-bit game, since everything has been rendered in moody art game silhouette with just a few spots of light here and there to prevent it all being black on blue. It looks striking but... well it might just be me, but is anyone else feeling distinctly "zombied out" at the moment?

There's a new Mojon Twins game for the Spectrum (and thank goodness for that, we were all starting to get worried because they hadn't released anything recently!) and it probably won't come as a surprise that it's a platformer; Cheril Perils sees the titular lead character trapped in a town which, due to a failed experiment involving a virus that makes people beautiful and the previous contents of a tanker truck, infested with zombies.

Cheril's only chance for escape is going to do a Shaun of the Dead and wipe out the former townsfolk because killing sixty brain-eating creatures of the night will prompt the local authorities to move the boulders blocking the gate in the city walls. And stop staring at me like that, I don't make this stuff up y'know!

Blimey, Jonathan Bristow (or Twilighte as he's known amongst Oric fans) has been quiet for some time... and then he goes and drops a nuclear bombshell like an Oric conversion of the Spectrum classic Stormlord on us from absolutely nowhere! It's not exactly the same as the other versions since it's flick screen rather than scrolling, but the graphics look rather gorgeous and colourful, the sound is impressive and Oldschool Gaming will just have to give it a serious looking at very soon - and that's absolutely nothing to do with the nekkid faeries, okay?!

Relevo Games, makers of the rather spiffing platformer British Bob, have just released another platform game - this one is Invasion of the Zombie Monsters, so no prizes for guessing what the villains of the piece are whilst the action is more than a little reminiscent of a certain Capcom game with some Ghosts and Goblins in it. The damned souls of the zombie hordes are available in both MSX and Spectrum incarnations which is nice, and a preview video can be looked at at the YouTubes.
