In 1991, Codemasters thought that it would be great idea to publish a game based on those cute little cars from the Micro Machines toys franchise. And they hit the spot right in the middle!
After the huge success on the NES, Sega Megadrive and Amiga, the DOS version was inevitable. It came three years later, in 1994, and was only available in Europe featuring improved graphics and some awesome groovy music and sound effects. This particular version was developed by Big Red Software, the same guys that, two years later, made the crazy DOS exclusive title Big Red Racing that I’ve already reviewed. If you missed it, just click on the rectangle shown on your screen.
From the kitchen table to the children’s playground, from the pool table to the bathroom, etc, etc, Micro Machines will have you discover many different tracks, each one more difficult than the other, that you’ll eventually master using normal or even peculiar tiny vehicles to do so. There’s race cars, helicopters, tanks, dune b…

I grew up enjoying all Ray Harryhousen’s extraordinary movies with cutting edge stop motion technology and one of my favorite films of all time is Jason and the Argonauts. Ray left us a remarkable legacy of adventure and action packed titles that will prevail for many years to come.
So, where MYTH fits into all this? Well, if you played the ZED X Spectrum or Commodore 64 version back in 1989 or, this one, the Amiga version released in 1992, you’ll know what I’m trying to say. MYTH is a stupendous videogame title extremely based on Rays Harryousen’s movies. As seen on my last episode, videogames in the 80s were highly influenced by the movie industry.
Developed and released by UK based software house System 3 for the greatest machines of late 80s, its pinnacle is the Amiga version. This version was on development for over two years after the 8 bit versions were out. So, it had to be good!
An Atari ST port of the Amiga game was also on development, but it ended up on the recycle bin. So, i…

Many players still insist on calling it 3D Deathchase. It’s just Deathchase, people! The 3D logo stamped on the cover was just to make it more appealing to buyers!
Back in 1983, three dimensional environments were something that was out of this world and Deathchase was a true pioneer to bring 3D action into the Zed X Spectrum.
It was developed by Mervyn Estcourt and published by MicroMega in the UK, and Ventamatic in Spain, and was an exclusive title for the Sinclair Zed X 81 and the Zed X Spectrum 48k.
As you might know, videogames in the eighties were greatly inspired by the movie industry. I’m not talking about direct film conversions to home consoles and computers. Back in those days, even original games were based in what we saw in the big screen. In this particular case, Deathchase was certainly influenced by the futuristic bike chases from Return of The Jedi and Tron, two blockbuster movies that were really hot in 1983.
In Deathchase you’re a mercenary patrolling, night and day, th…

Take a look at the 34 video games I have added to my collection over the last couple of months! There's XBOX 360, original XBOX, PlayStation 2 and PC games!.

The soundtrack in the background is from a portuguese metal band - Atonement - in which I was the drummer. You can download the full album from the following link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/n2zbqqmimjz/ATONEMENT-Beyond_The_Shrine_Of_Doom%5B2003%5D-Black_Melodic_Metal_Portugal_.rar

Developed and released in 1989 by Rainbow Arts, Rock’n’Roll was available for a bunch of systems, like the ZX Spectrum, the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, PC and Atari ST.
You’re looking at the Amiga version which, besides the fabulous gameplay,  features music composed by the great Chris Hülsbeck.
In this action arcade puzzle game, there are 32 huge levels (plus 1 secret bonus level) divided across 7 continents where we control a ball with the mouse and the objective is to reach the exit in each one of them. But this apparently simple task can be, sometimes, really hard and stressful. Thankfully, the superb soundtrack keeps us tapping our foot on the floor making every level an awesome and extremely joyful adventure.
There’s numerous objects scattered throughout each level that help or hinder our path to the exit. These take the form of ventilators, which blow the ball away, magnets, which attract the ball, arrows, which roll the ball in a specific direction, etc. Many objects can also drain…

As the developers themselves admit, this title was heavily based on the Indiana Jones adventures. As the game starts, you’re immediately chased by a giant boulder, just like in the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of The Lost Ark.
Developed by Core Design and published, in 1989, by Firebird Software, it was available for the greatest machines of the time: Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST, PC, Amstrad CPC and the ZED X Spectrum. This was the first original game created by Core Design who later became famous for the success of their Tomb Raider franchise. Thinking of that, is Rick Dangerous the biological father of Lara Croft?.. Hummmm…
Part time hero and stamp collector, Rick Dangerous is hunger for adventure. Set in 1945, he hears a rumor about a lost tribe somewhere on the Amazon jungle. He plans his trip and, moments before landing, something went wrong with the airplane. A normal thing to happen when you travel air-penguin! Rick’s plane crash lands in the jungle right in the spot wher…
