Inspired by Cinemaware’s upcoming release of the long lost Mega Drive version of It Came From The Desert, one Amiga fan has decided to recreate the ant blasting action in a first person shooter for the Commodore computer.

Alien Crush
I’ve always been a little confused by developers that choose to create realistic pinball games. I get the appeal of recreating existing tables – after all, very few people have the cash or space to own Tales Of The Arabian Nights – but making original video pinball tables to the same constraints as a physical […]
Last Action Hero Review
Author: John Legendoffzelda As the adolescent escapism-junkie Danny Madigan watches the Arnold Schwarzenegger franchise picture “Jack Slater IV”, the magic ticket in his hands begins to glow.

Gryzor
As an Amstrad owner you were used to receiving hand-me-down ports. The ZX Spectrum was far more popular in the UK, so you’d often have to put up with terrible ports of classic arcade games.

While it was fundamentally similar to the platform games I’d previously played, it offered something that they didn’t, with […]

Many of today’s prominent developers, including Jordan Mechner and John Romero cut their teeth on the machine, making it an incredibly important computer. Here’s our ten personal favourites.
