We have been spoilt with many awesome new AGD (Arcade Game Designer) games these past few months. Andy Johns awesome releases, Monty’s Honey Run, Temple of Lost Souls and not so long ago the great Ooze, as well as Foggys Quest by John Blythe and many more. All fantastic games with much time and thought put into them. And so the trend continues with…
Globus is a new ‘old’ release by Paco Lafuente. The game was developed between 1986 and 1987 and was unpublished until recently. The game looks a lot like Pac-Man minus the collecting of pills. Instead you have to try and get to the left side of the screen, collect your energy charge and make your way to the right side to discharge without getting…
ZX Spectrum Next is probably the most anticipated modern take of a retro computer to date. The first ZX Vega had a huge impact, but the fact it was a gaming machine only, it didn’t attract the average retro enthusiast that wanted to do more than simply play games. The last word is that the ZX Spectrum Next campaign is under…
Sunteam has released a new ZX Spectrum styled shoot ’em up for Windows. Feeling like a cross between Space Invaders and Missile Command, you have to protect pods from enemy fire, by either destroying the enemies before they can shoot, or intercepting their bullets with your seemingly invincible ship (which slowly follows the horizontal position of your targetting cursor). The…
2077: The human race has stripped the planet clean. All power is now supplied by a single conglomerate – DCR Inc. Renewable energies were not enough to cope with demand. Nuclear energy became mainstream and a new isotope was identified and quickly introduced into production. By the time DCR realised the danger it was too late. The single test station,…

The day is here…. my new game Ooze will be released later this afternoon. People to thank on this one…. David Saphier, the legend who worked out how to add music to AGD games has been on fine form adding not 1 but 2 tunes to this game as well as a fantastic menu and game over screen (For when…
Horace has always been a fan favourite among Spectrum owners, being the closest thing the machine has to a mascot. And this new game from Sunteam features not only him, but his father in a desperate bid to escape the Mega Vault. Horace and Herbert (his gigantic dad) were taking a walk one day when the evil Doctor Zorklef captured…
ZX Vega+, the nice looking ZX Spectrum handheld has turned into a nightmare for both Retro Computers Ltd and its backers. Today, BBC news just published an article stating that Indiegogo has halted the Vega+ campaign because “of delivery delays and a lack of communication to backers.”. The project has received more than £513,000 (US$624,000) and before Indiegogo intervened, it was set…
Well its been tough trying to do something of my own for my next game. I wanted to bring something new to the table rather than another Monty game (don’t worry…there will be another Monty Game..maybe two) I’ve still got some work to do on this but I’ve decided its about time to test the waters and see what you guys…
