The traditional Retro Challenge is happening again throughout the month of April. The contest asks you to “do something interesting with an old computer, and blog about it for a month”. It is a great way to take that old project from the drawer and finish it. It could be a hardware project, a computer restoration, a new application or game,…
Way back in 2015 we shared News about a new game called Aviator Arcade II, announcing an early preview release. Aviator Arcade II is a shoot’em up packed with action and amazing graphics. After almost three years, the game is now complete, and Mark Hindsbo is working to finish the changes for release on cartridge and floppy disk, as announced by…

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. As a result,…

Valdir is well known in the Portuguese Speccy scene, with previous releases such as ZX Striker and ZX Nights. He recently released a new football game called Eurostriker. With many similarities to Footballer of the Year, this looks to be a very nice homebrew game. I have never really played many football games in my time, except for Sensible Soccer and Kick Off on…
Continuing with the toilet humour, we have a new Commodore 64 game by Picaro Games called Fart Escape! Fart Escape is a fart and fly platformer! Another original and unusual concept in which you must use your methane powers, whilst the game auto-scrolls you though some pretty tricky traps and enemies. I didn’t get very far at all.. In the…
Scuttle Butt is a new game by Karl Hörnell for the ZX Spectrum. If someone asked me if there are any new original games on the ZX Spectrum, I would point them to Scuttle Butt.
