Vendetta hits the C64 with a sharp intro, Matt Gray’s banging soundtrack and bold flips between sneaky exploration and mad car chases. Looks stunning in places, yet the sprites waddle like drunk ducks, shooting’s a lottery and one forgotten clue in the dull drives sends you straight back to level one! A glorious, infuriating Last Ninja relative that demands you watch the carnage unfold 😇🕹️👌

The controls are quick, the colours lively, and the aliens wobble about with enthusiasm!

X-Copy wasn’t a game of course, but it was arguably the most played program on the Amiga. That whirring drive, the green 0's progressing with the sound of the disk clicking, and that triumphant “BOING!” at the end — pure nostalgia. It made disk copying feel like a secret mission, and let’s be honest, most of us did it. The Amiga scene simply wouldn’t have been the same without it 😇🕹️👌
