The Plague – Commodore Amiga Review

When Innerprise Software and Critical Design’s The Plague released on the Commodore Amiga in 1990, the scowling barbarian that adorned the front cover piqued my interest while browsing the local musty computer shop.

Graham Gooch World Class Cricket Commodore Amiga Review.

If there’s one thing the English are good at is inventing a sport, spreading it around the globe and then promptly getting beat at it. Cricket is a prime example, although England’s recent fortunes at the stumps are a mix of great success or catastrophic failure. Released in 1993, Audiogenic brought Graham Gooch World Class […]

Last Action Hero – Commodore Amiga Retro Rewind Review.

Everyone’s a critic. When Arnie’s Last Action Hero opened, it was unanimously panned by the movie press but still earned nearly $140 million at the box office. As such, its popularity meant that video game tie-ins were a foregone conclusion and hot on the heels of Sony’s takeover of Psygnosis, the game based on the […]
