| [ OSG SITE ] THREE DAYS TO STAR WARS DAY by Jason (1 May 2008) |
|
It's time for the Oldschool Gaming May update and for this one we have three new reviews to tease you with and for a starter there is some hardcore action in the form of an Atari 8-bit port of Jeff Minter's seminal shooter Metagalactic Llamas Battle at the Edge of Time. Of course, not everyone likes shoot 'em ups and for the more strategically minded amongst you it would be well worth taking a closer look at Advanced Space Battle for the C64 since it's a space-bound strategy game or perhaps some more mentally challenging puzzles, plenty of which can be had in Groops! for the Amstrad CPC.
And for those of you pondering the "pun" in the news posting title this month, May the 4th be with you!

| [ VIC ] TUNTEMATON SOTILAS RELEASED by Jason (23 April 2008) |
|
Taking its name from a Finnish war movie called "Tuntematon Sotilas - The Unknown Soldier" (which is apparently the second most viewed Finnish film ever, i wonder what the most viewed is?) Tuntematon Sotilas is an entry into the 2008 minigame competition 2K category that was developed for the unexpanded VIC 20 by Aleksi Eeben. On his blog (which is linked below), Aleksi describes it as being a strategic war game that is based on a mainframe computer game called Empire that was popular in the 1970s.

| [ ATARI 2600 ] INCOMING RELEASED by Jason (17 April 2008) |
|
Incoming is Atari 2600 developer Ben Larson's take on Xonox's long-range shoot 'em up Artillery Duel; two tanks facing off against each other amidst some rugged terrain, taking turns to duke it out with heavy artillery and having to allow for the changing speed and direction of the wind. If you've played Team 17's Worms you'll immediately know where this one is coming from.
