The movie Highlander was quite enjoyable and probably one of my favourite 'quotable' films to repeat on the school playground back in 1986 - 'There can be only one!'. The game adaptation of Highlander however is neither clever nor entertaining. Apart from the big name and the music, it has very little to offer. If you're looking for a martial arts game, there are many other programs that serve you better than this movie adaptation. Unfortunately, Highlander was a massive letdown. Lets check out why 😇🕹️👌

If you’ve never played Omega Race in any of its incarnations, imagine Asteroids after a rough night out… clumsy, hard to control, and prone to ricocheting off walls instead of gracefully disappearing off-screen. Instead of pulverising rocks, you’re blasting ships, though with about as much precision as a toddler with a water pistol. Hardcore arcade fans will probably love this very early Commodore 64 title 😇🕹️👌

Omega Race, for the Commodore 64, was a port of the Bally-Midway arcade game. You control a spaceship and shoot down the enemy "Droid" ships that attack you....

Time to fire up the time machine and head back to 1988 with 'Zone Trooper'! It was slapped together back then and promptly buried in a time capsule labelled 'Do Not Open until 2025'. Well, now it's open and once again I find it’s a masterclass in randomness. It's a thrilling saga of dodging un-dodgeable enemies who are about as threatening as a soggy noodle. No matter how well you play, you’ll bumble through about ten screens before meeting an anticlimactic end. A true masterpiece... of mediocrity. Get it fired up anyway haha, give it a whirl 😇🕹️👌

👇

Zone Trooper, for the Commodore 64, and you have been woken too late from suspended animation to save your ship from crashing on a strange planet. Now it is ...

Thanatos is a relatively simple continuous scrolling game which many will feel is a bit too 'jerky' to play, however I thought this game still has a good atmosphere & charm about it, even if it is can be ridiculously difficult in places! One for the library though. Happy New Year everyone... we're back! 😇🕹️👌

Thanatos, for the Commodore 64, is a side-scrolling dragon action game with a dragon protagonist named Thanatos the Destroyer. The large on-screen dragon was...

Santa’s got a real sleighmare in 'The Official Father Christmas'! His trusty ride has been scattered across the North Pole, and instead of helping, the elves are channelling their inner Grinches by snatching parts from under his nose. Can’t trust anyone these days! Merry Christmas everyone 😇🕹️👌

The Bitmap Brothers delivered a captivating puzzle game with Cadaver. Future titles like Speedball 2 and Gods would be eagerly anticipated by gamers of the 1990s. However, Cadaver came with a warning: embarking on an adventure with your dwarf protagonist may leave you immersed far longer than planned! A very true fact indeed as I was completely hooked on this classic Amiga title back in the day 😇🕹️👌

Cadaver is an isometric 3D arcade adventure for the Commodore Amiga, played using a joystick and keys. In the person of the thief Karadoc, the player sets ou...

They Stole a Million, for the Commodore 64, stands out as a truly original and engaging experience. What I found most appealing is how the game cleverly combined strategy and planning with an intuitive gameplay loop! It’s not just a run-of-the-mill action game... you’re required to use your brain a little and think through the logistics of a heist! Give it a whirl! 😇🕹️👌

In the tiny world of motorbike-jumping games on the Commodore 64, 'Eddie Kidd Jump Challenge' revs ahead of the pack! There’s something strangely rewarding about crashing over and over, just to nail the jump and get that little bit closer to nailing it perfectly. The main sprite itself, despite its pixelated charm, evokes a strong sense of nostalgia. So yeah, as a nostalgia fix, it's as good as any game...even if the critics might not agree! Fire it up and give it a whirl 😇🕹️👌

The Muncher, for the Commodore 64, was an ambitious but underwhelming attempt at a ‘Rampage’-style game. While the concept of playing the villain and smashing buildings is fun, the ex*****on unfortunately falls short. It's an okay time killer, but it just wasn’t chewy enough to satisfy my gaming appetite. Still... give it a whirl anyway and... bon appétit! 😇🕹️👌

In the Muncher, for the Commodore 64, based on the sweets product Chewits, you take the role of a prehistoric monster on a quest to retrieve its eggs from Ja...

No upgrades, no fancy career modes — just pure, chaotic fun on a budget. 'Slicks', from Codemasters, was the racing equivalent of a bag of chips: simple, sometimes a little salty, but oddly satisfying. Slicks also boasted a chaotic two-player mode that was perfect for settling grudges with my brother — on the track, at least! Did you still have your C64 when this was released back in 1992? 😇🕹️👌

Slicks, for the Commodore 64, and it's time to join the circus that is Formula One. This is your chance to race and beat the best drivers in the world. The c...

Pinball Dreams was a masterclass in digital pinball, delivering an experience remarkably close to the real deal back in 1992. It's impeccably crafted, featuring stunning visuals, immersive sound design, and delightful graphical flourishes. The ball physics are impressively lifelike, and the gameplay is so engaging rivalled just about anything out there. Drop everything and get this game fired up on your Commodore Amiga! 😇🕹️👌

As a concept.. ‘Pneumatic Hammers’ had a lot going for it. It had decent graphics, a very original plot and smooth scrolling - but it could be quite frustrating because of the pixel perfect grabbing of the gold nuggets and might prove too complicated for younger gamers - But for all of you who may have wondered 'what the heck do I have to do in this darned game' well... Let me explain what the game was all about, in the first place! 😇🕹️👌

The real star of Rocket Ball is its playability. Sure, the gameplay is a wild, fictional mashup, but it's refreshingly straightforward and easy to get into. The action scrolls as smooth as butter, the controls are snappy, and mastering the art of dodging, defending, and teamplay feels like training for a virtual Olympics. If sports games are your jam and you haven't tried Rocket Ball, stop depriving yourself... Get it fired up on your Commodore 64! 😇🕹️👌

Rocketball, for the Commodore 64! In the future (the year 2010 in the game) there are no longer wars in the world, disputes are settled with a game of Rocket...

'Everyone’s a Wally' from Mikro-Gen will keep you busy — and confused! The bonus song by Mike Berry is catchy enough to stick in your head for days, whether you like it or not. The game itself? Tough! Your endurance drains faster than a phone on 1%, and the tasks are maddeningly tricky. Maybe I’m just a Wally. Fire it up and give it a whirl - you might like this one 😇🕹️👌

Lemmings, as we probably all know by now, is an absolutely brilliant game! Psygnosis managed to produce a game that was not only totally original, but also featured the kind of addictive gameplay that kept you coming back for more, time and time again. Lets have a retrospective look at that classic game for the Commodore Amiga. You never know - there might even be people out there that have never heard of this game before.... but I doubt it! 😇🕹️👌

Scarabaeus - also known as 'Invaders of the Lost Tomb' across the pond! A challenge for the thoughtful gamer who likes a mixture of action and strategy! You need all your wits about you when there are monsters about. This, along with the likes of maybe 'Forbidden Forest' was one of the first games to scare the crap out of me as a kid! Classic 😇🕹️👌
