ATV Simulator (Codemasters, 1987)⠀ ⠀ ATV Simulator (also known as All Terrain Vehicle Simulation) is a computer game released for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC by Codemasters.⠀ ⠀ The goal of the game is to drive your ATV through various courses which you must complete within the time limit without running out of fuel. If you crash your ATV, you can move your man to get back into the vehicle, however it will cost you precious seconds to do so. If you run out time or fuel, it is game over.⠀ ⠀ #fb #blog #tweet

Blades of Steel (Konami, 1987)⠀ ⠀ Blades of Steel, later released in Japan as Konamic Ice Hockey (コナミック アイスホッケー Konamikku Aisu Hokkē?), is an ice hockey video game released by Konami for North American arcades in 1987, and ported to the Family Computer Disk System and Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. All teams are fictional but based out of real Canadian and American cities. The game is known for its fast paced hockey action and especially for the fighting. It is a one or two player game. When playing against the computer, there are three difficulty levels to choose from: Junior, College, and Pro (with Pro being the most difficult and Junior being the easiest). Each team consists of three forwards, two defencemen, and a goaltender.⠀ ⠀ The NES version was re-released on Nintendo's Virtual Console service on December 24, 2007. The arcade version was re-released on Microsoft's Game Room service on November 24, 2010.⠀ ⠀ #fb #blog #tweet

Shufflepuck Café (Brøderbund, 1989)⠀ ⠀ Shufflepuck Café is a computer air hockey game developed by Christopher Gross, Gene Portwood and Lauren Elliott for Brøderbund (not a table shuffleboard video game, as the name would suggest—though that was the intention when the name was first coined by Christopher Gross). Originally developed for the #AppleMacintosh, it was later adapted by Brøderbund for the #Amiga, #AtariST, Apple #IIGS (leaked version), #Amstrad CPC, Family Computer, Sharp #X68000, #NES, NEC PC-9801 and MS-DOS operating systems.⠀ ⠀ #fb #blog #tweet

Bad Dudes Vs DragonNinja (Data East, 1988)⠀ ⠀ Bad Dudes Vs DragonNinja, also called Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja, often referred to simply as Bad Dudes, and known in Japan simply as DragonNinja (ドラゴンニンジャ?), is a 1988 arcade game developed and published by Data East. It was also ported to many computer and game console home systems. The game was followed by a 1991 spiritual successor Two Crude Dudes (known in Japan as Crude Buster). After Data East became defunct due to their bankruptcy in 2003, G-Mode bought the intellectual rights to the arcade game as well as most other Data East games and licensed them globally.⠀ ⠀ The game is a side-scrolling beat 'em up where the players are set in the role of the titular duo tasked with rescuing "President Ronnie" from ninja kidnappers. It was met with commercial success, and a generally positive to mixed critical reception. It has since become widely known for its general premise and introduction cut scene.⠀ ⠀ #fb #tweet #blog

  • GridRunner - (Jeff Minter, 1982) Gridrunner is a series of shoot 'em up games written by Jeff Minter. The original Gridrunner was published for various 8-bit systems in 1982 and 1983 with Gridrunner 2 following in 1983. A third installation, Voidrunner was released in 1987. Confusingly, Gridrunner 2 was released in the US under the name Attack of the Mutant Camels, which was also the title used for a totally different game released the same year by Minter. The original game was written in a week. The series was revived in 2002 with Gridrunner++, for modern platforms, and followed by later games in the series. In August 2012, a Mac OS X port was released via the Mac App Store. #fb #tweet #blog
