Chunky visuals and a smaller play window make the Amstrad version of Cybernoid look decided untidy next to the Spectrum original.

Cybernoid, Commodore 64
A decent Commodore 64 conversion of Cybernoid, by Nick Jones.
Bubble Ghost, Game Boy
This Game Boy conversion of the wonderful Bubble Ghost was first published in 1990. It was developed by Opera House.
Bubble Ghost, Amstrad CPC
I’m a big fan of the game Bubble Ghost and this Amstrad CPC conversion is up there with the best of the 8-bit versions.
Bubble Ghost, Atari ST
The 16-bit Atari ST version of Bubble Ghost is the original version, as designed and programmed by creator Christophe Andreani in 1987.
Brainstorm, Commodore 64
Pete Cooke‘s brilliant puzzle game Brainstorm was converted by David Kirby to the Commodore 64 and published by Silverbird in 1987.
Booga-Boo, MSX
The MSX conversion of the classic Bugaboo (The Flea) has a slightly different title to the original, but the same great gameplay.
Bonanza Bros., Megadrive/Genesis
Bonanza Bros. is a split-screen, two-player, side-scrolling action game that first appeared in arcades in 1990. A number of home conversions followed although none were better than this Sega Megadrive/Genesis version which was released in 1991.
Ballblazer, Atari 7800
Lucasfilm Games’ brilliant futuristic sports sim, Ballblazer, was converted to the Atari 7800 in late 1984.
As a ‘no-nonsense’, one-on-one ball game there is little better, in terms of video games, and this Atari 7800 version is one of the fastest and smoothest around.
Robin Hood: Legend Quest, Amiga
I’ve no idea why Codemasters changed the title, but this is Super Robin Hood on the Amiga – the classic 8-bit game by the Oliver Twins – except under a different name.
