Review: Project Firestart (C64)

We enter!

Time for another classic game review: today it’s one of my very favorites back on the C64, the space horror action adventure Project Firestart!
It was back in July 1989 when I was reading the game review of PF in the cult and now abandoned German game magazine Power Play written by Michael Hengst, I was instantly hooked and had to buy the game!

Let me tell you that the game’s pixel blood level is very high. The story is about a research ship near Saturn that doesn’t answer anymore on the space radio. So you jump into your fashionable green lined bodysuit to be sent to the ship to look if everything is OK.

C64-Paradroid played on GBA (a study)

it looks tempting! the author of splam.emuhq.com is working on a *C64 emulator* for the Gameboy Advance™! He’s already busy since a good amount on time and it seems writing a C64 emu for the GBA is more than a challenge!

Review: Todd’s Adventures In Slime World (Atari Lynx)

Do you remember the Lynx™? That was Atari’s approach in the late 80ties/early 90ties to get onto the Handheld market! … now you remember?

The few Handhelds that existed to that time (including the Game Gear) hadn’t much chance against Nintendo’s famous Gameboy.

However there were some game pearls for unpopular play devices that never made it to other platforms. One of these was Todd’s Adventures In Slime World …

Let's see what is in that barn!

Aaah Friday the 13th! What relaxation, what pleasure! The day when nothing’s going wrong! I remember when I was a lot younger (around 14 that means) I’ve played the game Friday the 13th on my trusty Commodore C64 often on this special day! It grew almost to a tradition!

Luceey! ... I'm home!

Though most people marked that game as being boring and dull, I think it was one of the most frightening games ever. You ran around on that 16 color crystal lake camp on the search for Jason who was decreasing your friends at the same time.
