Not a conversion of the Sega Master System light gun game of the same name, but another title by Jon Wells which was to be released by Visualize – but didn’t quite make it. I almost forgot about this one … Continue reading
1988 Nexus Platform: ZX Spectrum Fairlight is a title which brings back extremely fond memories for me on the Commodore 64, which was a brilliant isometric game created originally on the ZX Spectrum by the genius Bo Jangeborg. I always … Continue reading
Another combined entry for a series of titles, this time from Resource Software International, which may or may not have been released. These have been highlighted to us thanks to Bertrand / Atari Frog. These were Commodore 64 titles listed … Continue reading
