Sinclair Spectrum :: Future Looter released :: 01 Jan 2012

At first glance, Future Looter looks like Cybernoid but it does have a few tricks up its sleeve; some of the screens are more puzzle-oriented than straight out blasting where in-game enemies have to be persuaded to help the player rather than hinder. It's also easier to play than Cybernoid!

Amstrad CPC :: BB4CPC released :: 27 Dec 2011

Amstrad owners had a nice prezzie sat under their trees this year with the release of CNGSoft's eagerly anticipated conversion of Bubble Bobble, or BB4CPC for short. Yes, the CPC has already received one version of Taito's classic coin-op but it wasn't considered to be the best use of the machine so a new adaptation has been produced.

Sinclair Spectrum :: Streets of Doom released :: 27 Dec 2011

Dare you enter the Streets of Doom? Having escaped the now destroyed Skyscraper of Doom, the next challenge facing our hero is escaping unscathed from the dodgy neighbourhood he finds himself in by solving puzzles and talking to unsavoury characters. Then it's presumably onwards to the Kebab Shop of Doom before catching the Night Bus of Doom home?

Sinclair Spectrum :: Escape from the Holy Tower released :: 27 Dec 2011

It looks a little simple, but Escape from the Holy Tower is a headache-inducing puzzle game for the Spectrum that is a little reminiscent of Chip's Challenge; there's a quota of crates to be collected on each stage and the puzzle lies in trying to work out which way around to collect them in order to avoid becoming trapped.

OSG Review of 2007
Random Quote

"I always set out to design a game within certain limits - usually my limits are these: what is the machine capable of, how much memory does it have, and what type of controller is to be used."
