Code name Hell Squad - Amiga CD to HD as a playable sci-fi action adventure!

No sooner had we mentioned DamienD's Amiga CD to Hard Drive conversion of the high quality isometric game 'Wasted Dreams', that another game was also converted over and that was the action adventure ' Code name Hell Squad ', which again was also developed by the same team Digital Dreams Entertainment and released in 2000. Shockingly enough some say this is one of the last ever games released commercially on the system and if it wasn't for these developers contacting the original dev's of this game, when it was known as Hellpigs by Classica Entertainment (link), it probably would've never seen the light of day!

Sam's Journey - Highly anticipated C64 game gets a December shipping date!

Yes indeed one of the most anticipated homebrew C64 games of all time, full of huge levels, hidden items, secrets and special abilities in a game full of lush detail is coming as a cartridge, digital download or two floppy disks at the end of this year!

The Incredible Shrinking Professor - John Blythe kicks it up a notch with another cool ZX Spectrum game!

That homebrew guru is at it again who we know as Rucksack Games aka John Blythe, as after previously releasing such games as The Darkness of Raven Wood, Foggys Quest, and Circuitry, he's now moved on to a spiffy game called 'Peculiar Perplexing Perils Of Professor Poldark... The Incredible Shrinking Professor ', which is available for the ZX Spectrum 128k, ZX Spectrum 48k, ZX Spectrum VEGA and ULA Plus Edition.

Wasted Dreams - DamienD Amiga CD to HD conversion with an isometric action adventure

DamienD is up to his usual tricks again as once more he's looked towards a range of Amiga CD's, and converted the Amiga CD game ' Wasted Dreams ' to a bare-bones .HDF and .LHA file for easy play without the original CD. Now many of you probably haven't heard of this game, which isn't surprising considering it was released in 1999, but Wasted Dreams was developed by Digital Dreams Entertainment and is classed as a high quality isometric action game with adventure elements, but with a rather poor voiceover that does the voices for pretty much everything!

IN SEARCH OF MORTADELO - Revamped ZX Spectrum game is coming soon! [UPDATE]

Even more ZX Spectrum games have appeared in our box of speccy goodness, as we've been informed by André Luna Leão that the final version of 'IN SEARCH OF MORTADELO', will be released soon in Portuguese with a physical edition in Spanish, English and Portuguese at some point as well. Now if you've heard of this game before, that's because it was released in 1988 by Alfonso Fernández Borro as an Isometric game in similarities to both CRL and Ultimate Play the Game, although this version that is coming will have improved graphics, mapping and lives!

DOS creation contest - DOS based games on IRN! Awesome :)

Call me an old timer but I love talking about the days of DOS, a time when the only thing in front of you other than a computer was a blinking command prompt waiting for you to run a game such as C:\, C:\Dune and Dune.exe. So to hear from high-voltage.cz that they were running a DOS creation contest in which you had to make an executable under MS-DOS 6.22 at a 486DX , made my eyes sparkle like a kid in a candy store.

The Sword of Ianna - A new game launches on MSX2 and ZX Spectrum that will blow you away!

This year has been all out awesome for retro goodness, what with Argus coming out on the C64, unreleased games finding their way to the Amiga, and of course Speccy games doing the rounds. But if you have an MSX2 or yes a ZX Spectrum, you really should prepare yourselves to be amazed, as RetroWorks, the same team behind Vade Retro, The Charm, and Teodoro can't fly, has finally announced the release of one of the most anticipated of games 'The Sword of Ianna'

Sociable Soccer - Jon Hare's Sensible soccer reborn goes early access

If you hadn't heard, Jon Hare has been working on updating arguably his most successful game ever, Sensible Soccer, to modern platforms and visual styles. Sensible software is no longer with us, but the spirit lives on in Jon bringing his vision into Sociable Soccer. It's not fully baked yet, but very soon you'll be able to take a peek via Steam Early Access.

Monster World RPG - A charming RPG inspired by the Monster World/Wonder Boy series

I seriously can't believe I missed out on this when it was launched in August of this year, as we have only just found out there has been a release of the 'Monster World RPG'; a large fan game developed using RpgMaker2003, and inspired by the 1980's Monster World/Wonder Boy series. Now if you've been following our site for sometime, you would've know that not only was there an enhanced Amiga alpha version of Wonderboy in Monster Land, but Wonderboy in Monster Land was released and Monster Boy And The Cursed Kingdom is still in development. This latest Wonder Boy goes a way from the platforming style however and goes all out RPG, which for some might be a good thing or a bad thing!

Rubicon +4DGHF - Tough C64 cookie to crack is trainered by Hokuto Force

Here's a game many of you C64 owners have heard of especially as some would say it looks nice on the outside but highly repetitive on the inside, is Twisted Minds/21st Century Entertainment's C64 shooter ' Rubicon ', which has since been given the +4DGHF treatment by Hokuto Force (one of the most hated game by the crackers for its protections). Now in this game you play as a gun blasting hero who has to make his way through many levels inhabited by mutated creatures to not only survive, but to diffuse a nuclear reactor after a horrific incident in Russia.
