Regular readers to this site will know that I recently reviewed the conversion of Street Fighter II for the Commodore and found it, shall we say, somewhat lacking. Amiga owners desperate for a decent slice of beat ’em up action were going to need to look elsewhere. Fortunately, that didn’t turn out to be too far, as it happens. Team 17,…
Released in 1985 by Datasoft, Zorro is an arcade platform game based on Johnston McCulley’s masked vigilante, released in 1985 for the ZX Spectrum, C64 and Amstrad range of 8-bit computers.

The game received massive amounts of pre-release coverage (and hype)…

Sometimes there are some that excel on all of above! That’s the case of Game Art Beyond by Bliss. The program itself is a slide show that presents incredible graphics…
Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties is an adult-oriented “romantic comedy” graphic adventure game developed and published by Kirin Entertainment for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. The game received a lot of negative attention for its abysmal production value, nonsensical story-line, poor acting and humour, and for primarily being presented as a slide show despite being advertised as a full motion video game.
