Game Info --------------------------------------------------- Developer: Woodplace Publisher: Woodplace Year of Release: 1986 Game Review & Impressions --------------------------------------------------- The easiest way to describe this arcade oddity is Road Rash with push bikes! Engage in point-to-point races, bashing other racers, avoiding hooligans, and grabbing road-crossing critters to top up your calorie meter...it's all just a little bit strange! The game is set across 15 increasingly difficult levels, then loops back to the beginning. The longplay goes through each stage once, before crashing out in glorious style back on stage 1.

Follow me on Twitter @ https://twitter.com/Al82_Retro Get Great Retro Scene News @ http://www.vintageisthenewold.com Developed by Virgin Interactive and published by Acclaim Entertainment in 1994 Based on the 1993 movie, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story received video game adaptions for most major consoles available at the time, including the Atari Jaguar. The 16-bit versions were basically a mediocre tournament-style fighter, progressing through various vignettes from the film. An 8-bit version was released for the Game Gear hand-held, although this was changed from a fighting game to side-scrolling platformer with beat 'em up elements. It's not a bad effort either - the graphics and artwork are to a high standard, animation is pretty good, and the core mechanics work well enough. A version of the game was released a year later for the Sega Master System, which I'd actually recorded before realising the Game Gear version existed. It's practically identical, with the exception of the higher screen resolution, although it was released in PAL territories only, so only runs at 50 Hz and isn't quite as frenetic as the Game Gear version - I'll release the Master System longplay some time in the future.

Game Info --------------------------------------------------- Developer: Atari Games Publisher: Atari Games Year of Release: 1987 Game Review & Impressions --------------------------------------------------- Atari's official sequel to its own arcade smash hit, Asteroids, builds on the core gameplay of its predecessors, but leveraged the power of hardware available the time to introduce numerous new features. The vector-based visuals of old have been replaced by pre-rendered 3D sprites and more traditional 2D pixel art work. The graphical style is certainly a welcome change, and while I don't think it's the most attractive game to come out of Atari, it's still pretty cool. The objective of the game is pilot your craft through successive levels, destroying all asteroids present before moving on to the next sector. Completing all sectors in a galaxy will lead to a showdown with Mukor, an intergalactic monstrosity hell-bent on the destruction of Earth and all humankind. Your craft has a limited amount of energy, which decreases not only over time, but also when taking damage from enemies. Certain rocks release energy crystals which restore a small portion energy collected, and you also get a small boost when completing a level, but supplies are often scarce, so speed and precision are the order of the day. Key to success is switching between the three different craft modes at the your disposal. Ship type can be changed on the fly, with each possessing varying degrees of speed, manoeuvrability and firepower. Knowing where and when to use each craft type becomes paramount to the player's success, switching to speed mode to boost away from danger, or maximising offensive power to clear fields of space rocks quickly. As you can expect from an Atari game, the difficulty is off the charts. The official product manual states that the average player will last roughly 110 seconds per credit, and I can believe it. The "Easy" difficulty restricts the game to clearing two galaxies only, with successive difficulties requiring not only more galaxies to cleared, but also more sectors per galaxy. Those who wish to face the ultimate challenge can tackle the "Expect Mode". Players must clear four galaxies as before, but three of these are focused around specific enemy types, such as "seeker" 'roids, which home in on you when shot. Although several longplays and videos of the game exist on YouTube, they all cover the "Easy" difficulty. I decided to tackle expert mode because many of the games enemies and features only appear in the higher difficulties, and warping to special galaxies is exclusive to the expert mode. If I'm being completely honest, the games Atari was turning out at this point felt a little lacklustre compared to those being published by Sega, Capcom, Taito, and the rest of the big Japanese coin-op manufacturers. Blasteroids isn't a bad game by any means, just one that doesn't excite me.
