Street Gang Football: Sinclair ZX Spectrum July Review

July 1, 2021
Street Gang Football Spectrum

Street Gang Football: July featured game

Street Gang Football is not your usual computer footy game. There's no pitch, just cold, hard brick and tarmac, with plenty of virtually grazed kneecaps. Well, it's certainly no Sensible Soccer or FIFA but I have to say I took an immediate liking to this game. The idea behind…

Astro Blaster: April featured game

I remember playing Astro Blaster many years ago but it became one of those titles that I overlooked in recent times. I'm a member of a Sinclair Spectrum group on Facebook, The Spectrum Group UK, and they set seasonal challenges with a different game each week. The object of the…

Krakout: Commodore C64 March Review

March 1, 2021
Krakout C64

Krakout: March featured game

No, not the answer to "What's the first thing you associate with a builder's trousers?" Krakout is a Breakout clone with a difference. We've seen this type of game a lot on various systems. Names such as Arkanoid and Batty will be familiar to many old skool gamers but Krakout stands…
