A pretty much perfect conversion of the classic Taito arcade game, The NewZealand Story, developed by Visco Corporation and released for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis in 1990, in Japan only, through Taito themselves.

Amidar, Atari 2600
A conversion of the 1981 arcade game (of the same name) from Konami, and published by Stern in North America in 1982.
Wizard’s Lair, MSX
Steve Crow‘s superb tribute to Atic Atac, Wizard’s Lair, was released for the MSX by Bubble Bus Software in 1986.
Ms. Pac-Man, Atari Lynx
The Atari Lynx version of Ms. Pac-Man is a very good pill-gobbler, and – as far as I’m aware – it was only Pac-Man type game to appear on the system, outside of homebrew. It was developed and published by Atari Corporation in 1990.
Vindicators, Commodore 64
Developed by Consult Ltd., for Domark, who published the game in 1988, Vindicators is a decent one or two-player simultaneous tank game, converted from the Atari arcade machine of the same name.
Death Pit, ZX Spectrum
***CANNED GAME***
Death Pit was advertised extensively by Durell Software in 1985, but was never released. The completed full game has since been made available online, so you can still play it now.
Berzerk, Atari 2600
Berzerk is a conversion of the 1980 Stern Electronics arcade game of the same name. It was ported to the Atari 2600 by Dan Hitchens for Atari, Inc., who also published it. Atari 2600 Berzerk was first released in 1982.

The Atari 2600 version of Namco‘s classic Pac-Man is notorious for being terrible… And it is truly rubbish… The animation of Pac-Man himself is awful, the ghosts flicker horribly*, the transition from a vertical maze to a horizontal one has not been well-handled, and the general all-round authenticity of the game is highly questionable…
*= Which is why I’ve chosen to alter some of these grabs, to give a better representation of the game, as seen on-screen.
Fallout: London, PC [Part 7 – Rabbit and Pork]
Okay, here’s a “secret, hidden” bonus seventh instalment of my recent Fallout: London adventure. This one is all about the “Rabbit and Pork” DLC/add-on that was released on 30th September 2025, and grabs of my THIRD Fallout: London playthrough.
“Rabbit and Pork” is Cockney rhyming slang for “talk“. It’s also the name of a recent DLC for the Fallout 4 total conversion – Fallout: London.

Fallout: London, PC [Part 6 – Tributes and References]
The magic sprinkled over the top of Fallout: London, I would say, are the many historic and cultural tributes and references, and other fine details, that have been woven into the game by the skills and dedication of the developers.
