A quick entry for a collection of educational titles that seem to be missing. The following were all advertised in the March 1984 issue of Family Computing magazine: Little People’s Puzzles – Things that go Little People’s Puzzles – Nursery … Continue reading →
Jullian Gollup’s classic budget tactical combat was very well recieved. The budget game was an improved re-release of Rebelstar Raiders and pleased pretty much everyone at the time. It was pretty much Spectrum/Amstrad only and C64 users sadly didn’t get … Continue reading →
