R-Type - (Irem, 1987) R-Type is a side scrolling shoot-em-up arcade game produced by Irem in 1987. The player controls a space fighter named the R-9 to defend humanity against a mysterious powerful alien life-form known as the "Bydo". The game is notable for programming which was ambitious for the time, with a wide range of both power-ups and enemies, as well as levels of varying design and length, and sprites larger than a single screen. #fb #tweet #blog

Frogger - (Sega, 1981) Frogger is a 1981 arcade game developed by Konami. It was licensed for North American distribution by Sega-Gremlin and worldwide by Sega itself. It is regarded as a classic from the golden age of video arcade games, noted for its novel gameplay and theme. The object of the game is to direct frogs to their homes one by one by crossing a busy road and navigating a river full of hazards. The Frogger arcade version is an early example of a game with more than one CPU, as it used two Z80 processors. By 2005, Frogger in its various home video game incarnations had sold 20 million copies worldwide, including 5 million in the United States. #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

Tetris - (Mirror Soft, 1984) Tetris was the first entertainment software to be exported from the USSR to the US, where it was published by Spectrum HoloByte for Commodore 64 and IBM PC. The Tetris game is a popular use of tetrominoes, the four-element special case of polyominoes. Polyominoes have been used in popular puzzles since at least 1907, and the name was given by the mathematician Solomon W. Golomb in 1953. However, even the enumeration of pentominoes is dated to antiquity. #fb #tweet #blog

Magnetron - (Firebird, 1988) Magnetron by Graftgold/Firebird is another one of those games that I never seemed to get my hands on back in the day. Being a big fan of Steve Turner & Andrew Braybrook, I'm surprised I never tried to get hold of this game. It was supposed to be a kind of '3D Paradroid', which sounds brilliant, but it really never hit the mark... Graphically it's very good with typical isometric bas-relief style backgrounds and sprites, but the control method is clumsy and frustrating, so navigating the slim corridors and ramps with your droid can be a nightmare sometimes. The aim is to locate the reactors on each level and disable them by altering the current to overload them. There are only a few levels to beat, but it's very difficult, mainly due to the control method. It's a game that should have been a classic but ends up being for all its good looks and technical excellence a mediocre game. #fb #tweet #blog

Madballs - (Ocean, 1988) Madballs is a series of toy rubber balls originally created by AmToy, a subsidiary company of American Greetings in the mid-1980s, later being revived by Art Asylum (2007-2008) and Just Play, Inc. (2017–present). The toys incorporated gross-out humor in the vein of Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids. Each ball had a character synopsis and an odd name. The toyline was later turned into an animated television series, a series of comics and a video game (which contained some elements from the cartoon) for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64. #fb #tweet #blog
