This lovely ‘modern retro’ game has been made to look and play like a Super Nintendo game. And I mean that as a compliment.

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.
Maziacs, ZX Spectrum
This very early 1983 ZX Spectrum game by Don Priestley is still a joy to play to this day.
The premise is simple: you have to find the missing gold and return it to its rightful place.
Gauntlet, Arcade
The original four-player multiplayer arcade game of Gauntlet is a worthy party game for any retro gaming occasion. Stick it on, and watch everyone get sucked into it. With unlimited credits, you need never die. 🙂
Lords of Chaos, ZX Spectrum
Julian Gollop and his co-developers made this cross between his Rebelstar games, and his Chaos fantasy game, way back in 1990.
Knight Lore, ZX Spectrum
Knight Lore by Ultimate Play The Game, first released for the ZX Spectrum in 1984, changed the way games were viewed, and played at the time.
Black Crypt, Amiga
Black Crypt is the first game developed by Raven Software. It’s an Amiga exclusive, initially published by Electronic Arts in 1992. It could be argued that it’s also an unashamed clone of FTL’s Dungeon Master, but it is at least an exceptional one.
Dragontorc, ZX Spectrum
Steve Turner‘s 1985 sequel to Avalon is about as atmospheric and exciting as a fantasy adventure can get on a ZX Spectrum. It really is amazing that this game fits in to only 48K of memory.
Lufia: The Ruins of Lore, Game Boy Advance
Taito’s Lufia series has enjoyed moderate success over a number of platforms and releases over the decades, but this Game Boy Advance release (out in 2002 in Japan, and 2003 in North America – it never got an official European release) is the best game in the series, in my opinion.
Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Super Nintendo
This suped-up version of Capcom‘s classic Ghouls ‘N Ghosts on the Super Nintendo is a massive amount of fun to play!
The King of Grabs
