Screenshots of every level of Hewson’s 1984 platform-gaming classic, Technician Ted. And what a tough game it is! It’s playable and very colourful, though.
Thrust, Commodore 64
The late Jeremy Smith‘s all-time classic gravity game Thrust made its first appearance on the BBC Micro in 1986, through Superior Software. Jeremy soon followed up with conversions to most home computer systems.
Super Aleste, Super Nintendo
The ‘daddy’ of Super NES shooters (in my opinion), Compile’s 1992 masterpiece Super Aleste made waves on consoles, and around the world.
Aleste 2, MSX
Aleste 2 is a stand-out title on the MSX2. It has superb, colourful graphics, and challenging, fast-paced shooter gameplay.
Atic Atac, ZX Spectrum
Ultimate Play The Game‘s jolly horror adventure Atic Atac was released for the ZX Spectrum in 1983 and became an instant hit.
And it’s not hard to see why: within seconds of playing this overhead action game you will fall in love with its humorous presentation and characters. Everyone does.
Gauntlet Title Screens, Arcade
These Gauntlet title screens are cool.
They are from the 1985 arcade original. They show the potions, power-ups and monsters. How many shots to kill each monster. Plus some other interesting information about the game.
Tempest 2000, Atari Jaguar
Jeff Minter’s 1994 remix of the classic arcade game Tempest is quite exciting on the Atari Jaguar. It features four different play modes, including Traditional, Plus, 2000, and Duel.
Boulder Dash, Commodore 64
The classic maze/puzzle game Boulder Dash on the Commodore 64 is a fantastic conversion of the Atari 8-bit original. It was created by Canadian developers Peter Liepa and Chris Gray and published by First Star in 1984.
