A very colourful single screen platform game. “Rainbow Bomb” certainly lives up to its name. Apart from the annoying colour scroll as you move, the game seems to be fairly playable at its current stage, though some jumps are hard … Continue reading →
A very brief entry for a title which was mentioned in Commodore Format news back in 1992. This was to be a new range of educational software such as: Shapes and Colours First Letters Overall trying to follow in the … Continue reading →
Not sure how to take this one… Our friend from Hawkeye has been turned into a woman, and renamed "Rawhead" with our next preview. "Rawhead" is heavily based on Hawkeye, with a new map and a woman’s face at the … Continue reading →
