Shadow Fighter – Commodore Amiga Retro Rewind Review

Amiga owners didn’t have too much to shout out about when it came to beat-em-ups, and the less said about the Street Fighter II port the better. A few contenders had made a case for themselves, such as Team17’s Body Blows and TerraMarque’s Elfmania, but in 1994 a new challenger arrived from developer NAPS Team […]

M1 Abrams Battle Tank – A Retro Review.

Everyone remembers the first game they played on a new console or computer, and that was typically the pack-in game. When I was lucky enough to receive a Sega Mega Drive for Christmas, the standard pack-in game was Altered Beast, and yes, that was the title that demonstrated the exciting new times of 16-bit console […]

Skeleton Krew – Commodore Amiga Retro Rewind Review.

Derbyshire’s Core Design would bring their final Amiga game to the A1200, and CD32, before moving onto newer platforms in 1995 with the isometric shoot ‘em up, Skeleton Krew.

Every gamer has that one game that defines the platform for them. Most aficionados of the Beeb pick “Elite”, but for me, ever since the very first time I played it, that game has been “Imogen”. I was introduced to it originally on my Dad’s BBC Master, mainly because the resource demands of “Imogen” exceeded […]

Ruff ‘n’ Tumble – Amiga Retro Rewind Review.

With the highly regarded Renegade on publishing duties, Robin Levy, Jason Perkins and Jason Page’s cutesy yet violent delight would release at the tail end of 1994 and give Amiga owners […]
