The famous sideways scroller R-Type was in fact released on the C64 by Electric Dreams, but a different version to what was originally planned and was being worked on. Our first real knowledge of something being slightly odd was after … Continue reading →
Next up is a nice early run and gun game with some good graphics – very much like a title you’d expect to see released by Players/Rack-IT as a budget title perhaps in 1990. There are about 4 levels in … Continue reading →
