When someone says to me Richard Bayliss I always think of banging tunes with just about every C64 game he’s involved in. Sure enough that’s also true of the latest game that was released over the weekend, and that was ‘ Tank Blasta ‘; a SEUCK C64 game coded by […]

Zool: Ninja of the Nth Dimension (Amiga Game, Gremlin Graphics, 1992)

On December 18, 2018December 18, 2018 By Neil G
