Demon Front
They say that first impressions are important, and Demon Front makes one that is hard to forget – just one look will have you convinced that the game is a shameless Metal Slug clone.

This post is written by Jake Parr. There are just not enough games that allow you to go in a one-on-one battle with Santa Claus.

Opened in 2013, I personally stumbled into it completely by accident – only realising it existed due to spotting a R.O.B. in the window and investigating further. Near the end of the high […]
Bitmap Books Return To Kickstarter With ‘ZX Spectrum: A Visual Compendium’ Book
Following on from two very successful Kickstarter projects, the team behind Bitmap Books are back and gearing up yet another retro gaming fundraiser. Having already covered both the Commodore 64 and Amiga at great length through detailed screenshots, mini reviews, and exclusive interviews, it would appear another classic home computer is due the works.
