    Frak! retro review for the BBC Micro

    Byrolyretroadmin September 6, 2011October 15, 2024

    Frak! By Aardvark Software (1984) Back before the word Frak! became a swear word on the most recent incarnation of Battlestar Galactica, or a controversial form of mining, it was a 1986 platform game on the BBC Micro. My friend had a BBC Model B and a Sony colour monitor, and we would play Frak!…

    GORF Arcade Reviewed

    Byrolyretroadmin August 29, 2011June 20, 2025

    My first introduction to the classic arcade shooter GORF was on a school trip in 1981. As we piled out of the coach and into the service station on the M1 motorway, I could hear a robotic voice calling from the arcade…. The voice was the alien from the GORF arcade cabinet, mocking the player…

    Pengo Arcade Game by Sega – Retro review

    Byrolyretroadmin August 28, 2011June 15, 2025

    Pengo was an arcade game released by Sega in 1982. Kind of a cross between Pac Man and Space Panic, Pengo was a maze game with a twist. Rather than being constrained by the maze, you could use the blocks of the maze walls to flatten the chasing monsters. Your hero Pengo was pitted against…

    3D Monster Maze for Sinclair ZX81

    Byrolyretroadmin August 23, 2011June 20, 2025

    The first survival horror game? 3D Monster Maze was a 1982 computer game for the Sinclair ZX81, one of the first home computers to be launched in the UK. At this time the closest thing to a “scary” video game was Atari’s Hunted House (also 1982), on the 2600 console. Haunted House was however very…

    Time Crisis retro arcade review

    Byrolyretroadmin August 18, 2011September 7, 2014

    In the same way that Operation Wolf blew away the arcade competition with it’s 2D light gun game in 1987, Time Crisis did the same but in full 3D in 1996. Released after Virtua Cop, the first real 3D light gun game, Time Crisis featured vastly superior graphics, an engaging storyline and a killer feature…

    Discs of Tron retro arcade game review

    Byrolyretroadmin August 17, 2011June 22, 2025

    Tron: Made for the Arcade Most of people of a certain age (35 and over) will remember the Disney film, TRON, and the arcade game that it inevitably would have to spawn, given the film’s game-based storyline. One of the scenes involved a deadly game of Frisbee, where combatants battled to the death with electrically…
