Kirby’s Dream Land 2 DX, Game Boy Color
This is a fan-made ROM hack, first released in May 2023 by “kkzero“, of the Super Game Boy-enhanced Kirby’s Dream Land 2 that converts the game for use on the Game Boy Color. And it certainly does this great game justice and really makes those colours pop! In fact: it is much more colourful, and looks even better, than the Super Game Boy version. So much so that it is definitely the best way to play Kirby’s Dream Land 2, IMHO.
Kirby’s Dream Land 2, Super Game Boy
The enhanced version of Kirby’s Dream Land 2 is a real treat on the Super Game Boy. While it only has one special border to choose from, it does have enhanced sound effects (like the sound of wind blowing on some levels), level-specific palettes, and even some special full-colour screens such as the title screen, menus and the ending.
Kirby’s Dream Land 2, Game Boy
First released in 1995 for the original Game Boy, Kirby’s Dream Land 2 continues the adventures of Kirby – after Kirby’s Dream Land and Kirby’s Adventure – adding three new animal friends to help Kirby as he sets out on a quest to restore seven stolen rainbow bridges and defeat the evil force known as “Dark Matter“.
Bugziacs, Atari ST
Bugziacs is a homebrew Atari ST port of Don Priestley‘s classic ZX Spectrum game, Maziacs, created by Bello Games and available to download free from the internet. It was first released in 2019.
Maziacs, Commodore 64
This conversion of Don Priestley‘s brilliant Spectrum game first appeared on the Commodore 64, courtesy of Andy French and DK’Tronics, in 1984. C64 fans tend to frown on conversions of Spectrum games to their system, but in this case they should be thanking their lucky stars, because Maziacs is a great little game.
SOS, Super Nintendo
SOS is an intriguing survival adventure game set on a sinking ship in The North Sea, in 1921. The game features four playable characters, each with a different story, although the ultimate aim is the same for all of them: to escape from the stricken Lady Crithania, which has been hit by a gigantic wave and has capsized off the coast of England. SOS was developed by Human Entertainment and published exclusively for the Super Famicom by Field Co. Ltd. in 1993 (1994 in North America; published by Vic Tokai). In Japan the game is known as “Septentrion“.
Operation Wolf, ZX Spectrum
The ZX Spectrum version of Taito‘s classic arcade shooter, Operation Wolf, was developed and published by Ocean Software in 1988.
Super Dragon Slayer, ZX Spectrum
Converted by John F. Cain, from an original Commodore 64 game by John Ferrari, Super Dragon Slayer is a platform shooter featuring an agile magician who must jump, climb and shoot his way – left to right – through four large, scrolling levels. It was first published for the ZX Spectrum by Codemasters in 1989.
Super Dragon Slayer, Commodore 64
Designed and programmed by John Ferrari, with music by Barry Leitch, Super Dragon Slayer is a platform shooter first published for the Commodore 64 by Codemasters in 1988. In many ways this game reminds me of the early days of C64 software, with unforgiving gameplay and instant death if you put a foot wrong. That said, this is still a pretty good game. Just a very difficult one.
