I never liked the game, was not into those early 3D games, plus I played it on the Amiga, which was nearly unplayable, very slow. But for that time, the game was stunning, pun intended.
We had a discussion yesterday about early 3D games, as somebody mentioned Lara Croft on the PSX, OMG, what did I dislike that stuff. I think that a lot of game companies forced themselves to make everything in 3D, but in my opinion the visuals were suffering from it. I loved isometric games so much, I loved the pixel art, I could also just have lived with 2D, and now everything gets swapped because there was the technology which allowed it? Not for me.
Eventually the 3D gaming became better and better, introduced with the PS2 and XBox, and we are where we are now. But the early 3D gaming years, don't wanna hear about them 
The very early 3D perspective games have an interest, though I get why people today won't want to touch the Spectrum version of Hard Drivin', for example. I admit I still like to play it every so often, especially now I can load it instantly using an emulator or one of the flash card devices currently available. Stunt Car Racer is the best of the 3D racers back then IMO. A game like Driller though - which got 97% in Crash (!) - is just too darn slow.

There was Jonah Barrington's Squash from 1985, a neat little squash game with excellent speech calling out the score after every point

I got the Pac-Man Collection cart for the Colecovision and it was brilliant from the packaging to the cart and game itself. Maybe my single best buy in retro, but I did wonder how he was able to do it, getting all those licences and everything. Finally it seems, it's all coming to an end, in terms of presentation anyway.

The screenshot reminds me of Commando!  Must be all that yellow. But yes, always good to see a new kind of conversion onto the speccy and not merely a reworking of an old Spectrum classic, though these can be nice too

Karate Champ was a game I loved back in 84-85. They had it in a small country club place along with Zaxxon back then. Can't believe I ignored Zaxxon completely at the time! But anyway, it was just so good with the two joysticks and I longed to play a version of it at home. Those of us in the UK were unofficially granted that wish when "Way of the exploding fist" came out, and though it didn't have the two joystick feel of Karate Champ, it fitted the bill nicely

Yes folks, I thought I would advertise it here too. A chatroom which is populated sometimes by The Laird, Bobinator and other veterans of this forum. We talk about everything retro from Atari through to that Playstation thing. Admittedly, things do steer off topic on occasions :113:

We know the score with internet forums now though, and one of the people on there was hinting he'd do the same for a music thread in trashing The Beatles, so that tells you where he's coming from.

Looks like a good resource. Loads of scans to bring back memories :21:

 I like the way that the picture doesn't even have a comment beside it- unnecessary!
