Jack Attack (Commodore International, 1983)⠀ ⠀ Jack Attack is a platform action video game for the Commodore 16, Commodore Plus/4, and Commodore 64. It was published in 1983 by Commodore International for the North American and European markets.⠀ ⠀ This video game is simple to play and comes with 64 levels. Each level is laid out in a rectangular grid. The levels contain the player character, eight enemies, and a varying arrangement of bricks. The player's goal is to kill all the enemies without being killed by them.⠀ ⠀ The player character is able to push and pull bricks, which the player must use to kill the enemies. An enemy can be killed by being crushed either by the player character or a brick falling down on it or horizontally between two bricks. On the other hand, the player character dies if a brick or an enemy falls on top of it. Enemies are unable to push or pull bricks. Some levels include water, which is fatal to the player character, but safe to enemies.⠀ ⠀ #fb #tweet #blog

Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (Sega, 1990)⠀ ⠀ Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is a 1990 platform game developed by Sega and released for the Sega Genesis. An 8-bit version of the game was later released for the Master System and Game Gear. The game follows Mickey Mouse on a quest to save Minnie Mouse from the evil witch Mizrabel. It was the first game in Sega's long-running Illusion video game series starring Mickey and was also a part of the second wave of games initially released for the Sega Genesis which helped seal the console's reputation within the period until the release of Sonic the Hedgehog in 1991.⠀ ⠀ Castle of Illusion was very well received by critics, especially the original 16-bit version. It was re-released in 1998 in Japan as part of the Sega Ages: Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck for the Sega Saturn, which features both Castle of Illusion and QuackShot. A remake of the game by Sega Studios Australia was released for PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and PC in September 2013.⠀ ⠀ #fb #tweet #blog

A sequel to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) arcade game, it is a scrolling beat 'em up type game based mainly on the 1987 #TMNT animated series.

Project Firestart (Electronic Arts, 1989)⠀ ⠀ Project Firestart is a cinematic action/adventure game for the Commodore 64 computer system. It was designed by Jeff Tunnell and Damon Slye and published by Electronic Arts in 1989. The game features strong survival horror elements and a story with multiple paths and endings.⠀ ⠀ IGN has called it the first "fully formed vision of survival horror as we know it today," citing its balance of action and adventure, limited ammunition, weak weaponry, vulnerable main character, feeling of isolation, storytelling through journals, graphic violence, open exploration, cut-scenes, multiple endings and use of dynamically triggered music—all of which were characteristic elements of later games in the survival horror genre. Penny Arcade has similarly described it as "the Survival Horror template in its entirety".⠀ ⠀ #fb #tweet #blog
