2013-10-09T04:11:00.003-07:00

The Thrill Of War Have Long Inspiring Game Creators to create game that Intense, Chalengging and Emotional for players. We Will Cover some of the retro Games that set in the middle of war, land battle like Cannon Fodder was one of the Retro War games, and the others are plane shooters game like Red Baron and 1945

This are some of the Old Retro War Games

THE GREAT ESCAPE

YEAR: 1986 DEVELOPER: DENTON DESIGNS GENRE: ADVENTURE

Who cares if it had little in common with the film it was based on? The Great Escapewas a superb isometric adventure from Denton Designs that still plays brilliantly today. Unlike many other war games, you’re actually a prisoner who is trying to escape his German captors. You do this by sneaking around the grounds, retrieving specific items and following the daily routines of your fellow prisoners

BLUE MAX

YEAR: 1983

DEVELOPER: SYNAPSE SOFTWARE

GENRE: SHOOT 'EM UP

Zaxxonwas an extremely popular arcade blaster, so it was only a matter of time before we got a home equivalent. Blue Maxis one of the best, replacing the futuristic ship with a Sopwith Camel and the Zaxxontheme tune with Rule Britannia. It’s a fast-paced shooter that allowsyou to change altitude as you weave your way past enemy fighters and take out strategicallyplaced bomb targets. A highly satisfying blaster

RED BARON

YEAR: 1980

DEVELOPER: ATARI INC

GENRE: FLYING

This is one of the earliest videogames set in a World War and in some respects plays like an earlier version of Atari’s smash hit Star Wars. Playing a bi-plane pilot you must take down incoming enemy planes, while avoiding their return fire. It’s effectively Battlezonein the sky and shares the same vector graphics hardware. It’s not aged as well as theaforementioned Star Wars, but proved to be a lot of fun when it turned up in Game Room.

RETURN FIRE

YEAR: 1995

DEVELOPER: SILENT SOFTWARE INC

GENRE: RTS

A thrilling game of capture-the-flag that becomes
amazingly tense when played against a second
player. Single-player was less exciting, as there
was no proper AI in place, but the beautifully
balanced multiplayer mode more than made up
for it. It was later released on PlayStation and PC

1942

YEAR: 1984

DEVELOPER: CAPCOM

GENRE: PLANE SHOOTER

Predesseccor of famous 1945. This fantastic shooter is set in the Pacific Theatre of World War II and focusses on you shooting down enemy fighters. There’s only a single power-up on offer, but well designed
attack waves and a variety of aircraft and ships ensures that the action remains fast and furious. It has spawned numerous sequels over the years, with the most recent being 1942: Joint Strike, released in 200

CASTLEVANIA: PORTRAIT OF RUIN 2006

The second DS game took place after Castlevania: Bloodlines, and stars John Morris’ son as the hero. Levels took place inside paintings, allowing the developers to be a bit more creative with the locations. While it didn’t really do all that much new, Portrait Of Ruinproved just how enduring the Metroidvania format could be

CASTLEVANIA: ORDER OF SHADOWS 2007

Before iOS and Android turned up, mobile phone players were subjected to some pretty dire titles, and Order Of Shadows was one of them. Clunky controls, a narrow screen, terrible music and irksome action made this a Castlevania entry to forget. Thankfully, few know it even existed

CASTLEVANIA: THE DRACULA X CHRONICLES 2007

A 2.5D remake of Rondo Of Blood, Dracula X Chronicles also included the PC Engine version
as well as Symphony Of The Night, both in emulated form. The remake itself was merely OK – the new visuals actually look worse than those of the 8-bit original – but having all three games in a single package made this an appealing purchase

Guide to know the many types of Puzzle game

2013-09-25T14:51:00.000-07:00

What's On your mind if you hear "Puzzle" ? are you just Think about mix and match games ? are you Thinking about Tetris ? There are different puzzle video game genres, a few of which are clearly defined, while others overlap. For example, Tetris could easily fall into both tile-matching and action-puzzle

TILE MATCHING

Most typically, a tile-matching game is either a falling block puzzler like Tetrisor Hexic, or a ‘match-three’ game such as Candy Crush Saga. They became hugely popular from the late-Eighties onwards and are still going strong today. The Title Like "Bejeweled" are This type of game

TILE BASED

You have a restriction with your step in game capability. and the restrictions was based on game tiles then you get Tile-Based Puzzle games .Games including Reptonor Boulder Dashcan be termed tile-based due to their grid-like feel. Conversions of traditional puzzlers can also fall into this category, from Chess to Scrabble.

ACTION PUZZLE

When a puzzle game involves getting the player’s heartbeat to race in some way, perhaps via a sense of danger or a time-limit, it could be termed an action-puzzle – a genre that tends to include characters like Lode Runner

PHYSICS BASED

Games where an action leads to a realistic end-result. For example, in a game like Cut The Ropeor World Of Goo, the principles of physics are put to good use and ( even if it's not pure puzzle ) Angry bird was this type of game

CASTLEVANIA: ARIA OF SORROW 2003

The second Game Boy Advance “Metroidvania”, Harmony Of Dissonance contained improved visuals but noticeably worse music. The level design was also bland, but the inclusion of a dash
move made it feel fast-paced

CASTLEVANIA: LAMENT OF INNOCENCE 2003

Undeterred by the lukewarm critical reception afforded to the N64 instalments, Konami soldiered on into the 3D arena with Lament Of Innocence, a PS2 action adventure that once again tried to pull Castlevaniafree of its 2D heritage. The Devil May Cry-style action was thrilling, but the repetitive gameplay let it down

CASTLEVANIA: CURSE OF DARKNESS 2005

Lament of Innocencewas followed by this PS2 and Xbox sequel, but despite a move towards a more open-ended game world – like the one seen in Symphony Of The Night– the same mistakes were sadly committed. For large portions of Curse Of Darknessyou were simply battling the same enemies down identical corridors. An attempt to tie in the action with the events of Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curselivened things up a little, but not much

Retro Educational games : Richard Scarry’s Busytown

2013-09-23T04:00:00.000-07:00

Early Example of Modern Casual Game

This retro Educational Game was Released for Sega Mega Drive in 1994 by developer and published by SEGA itself, it's a great Novotrade its based on Richard Scarry’s seminal published in 1968 book "What Do People Do All Day ?"

this game was an early Example of our curent "Casual Game" you know like a Pizza Restaurant game, or like the Other games that require you to : Prepare your product ( it can be Pizza, or any other thisngs - Deliver it to people who ordered it - and get cash ) and in this game you have to control over Delivery truck

The point is that this game is pure joy in cartridge form. From the big splashy title screen with Lowly Worm’s big smiling head to the little mice playing in the park, every moment takes me back to that special place. A place where there was still such a thing as ‘bed time’ and popularity was judged on how fast you could run.Starting with a great big map of Busytown, you move your happy little cursor around and find something to do. I headed straight for the harbour – as the double page ocean liner cutaway was always my favourite part of the book – and I suffered no disappointment whatsoever. First, I had to put all the pieces of the ship in the right place, then drop all the crew members into the right
rooms and paint the thing! Joy!

Not like current Casual Games, there's No text

Oh, there’s no text either. Everyone talks. Yep, a Mega Drive game with full speech. Lots of fun there! If you fill someone’s drink up too much and it overflows, your customer actually asks if you’re blind – in the friendliest manner possible of course.

Go to the delivery company, and you get tasked with making deliveries around Busytown. The more deliveries you make, the busier Busytown becomes – like a miniaturized Sim City. All those new things opening up have their own little games to play too.It’s fantastic for kids, what with all the fun activities and the lack of hard words to read – but it’s also fantastic for grown-ups, what with all the fun activities and lack of hard words to read. This is definitely where Sonichas been going wrong in recent years

We Comeback with this retro Vampire Killing Games, Castlevania, while you can get your Past Time to remember how you play castlevania with friends

CASTLEVANIA: CIRCLE OF THE MOON 2001

This is the first Castlevania in Gameboy he first of three Game Boy Advance “Metroidvania” outings, Circle Of The Moonwas a launch day game for Nintendo’s handheld. Tiny sprites and very basic RPG elements made this a weak facsimile of Symphony Of The Night, but the next two games would improve on the formula

CASTLEVANIA CHRONICLES 2001

Chronicleswas essentially the Sharp X68000 Akumajo Dracula with a fresh lick of paint. It
contained the original game and a new version with fresh character designs from Ayami
Kojima, who also supplied the character artwork for Symphony Of The Night

CASTLEVANIA: HARMONY OF DISSONANCE 2002

The second Game Boy Advance “Metroidvania”, Harmony Of Dissonancecontained improved visuals
but noticeably worse music. The level design was also a little bland, but the inclusion of a dash move made it feel fast-paced and exciting

Castlevania : Retro Vampire Killing Part 2

2013-09-20T14:07:00.001-07:00

Continuing my post about memories of Retro Vampire Killing Game, castlevania. I will Give you a short description abou this Horror retro game series . In This post i Will tell about summary of Differents Castlevania Series That Released between 1993 until 1997

AKUMAJO DRACULA

1993

An exclusive for the Japan-only Sharp X68000 home computer, this was another remake of the
original NES game. A PlayStation port – entitled Castlevania Chronicles– launched in 2001.

DRACULA X:

RONDO OF BLOOD

1993

One of the best titles for NEC’s PC Engine CD-ROM system, Rondo Of Blood combined anime-style cutscenes with a branching level design to great effect. It remained a Japanese exclusive
until it was included as a bonus in the PSP remake in 2007. A Wii Virtual Console release followed in 2010.

CASTLEVANIA:

THE NEW GENERATION / BLOODLINES

1994

Castlevania’s first Sega outing was very special indeed. Set after the events of World War 1, the game allowed you to control one of two heroes: John Morris (son of Quincy from Bram Stoker’s original Dracula novel) and Eric Lecarde. Level designs were inventive, taking the player to landmarks such as Atlantis, The Leaning Tower of Pisa and a German munitions factory.

CASTLEVANIA:

DRACULA X

1995

Based on the PC Engine Rondo of Blood, Dracula Xremoved the non-linear progression and the additional playable character. Released in Europe as Castlevania: Vampire’s Kiss, it's very hard to find today, despite the rather negative reaction it received

CASTLEVANIA:

SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT

1997

The game which gave rise to the term “Metroidvania”, Symphony Of The Nighttook the core
Castlevaniagameplay and added in a huge, gear-gated castle, as well as RPG elements such as
experience points and different weapons, armour and items to collect. Another twist was the
fact that the lead character was Dracula’s troubled son Alucard

CASTLEVANIA:

LEGENDS

1997

Notable for being the first game in the lineage to boast a female leadcharacter,Legends sadly had little else going for it aside from its drive to promote gender equality. The level designs were poor, the action boring and the visuals worse than those seen in Belmont’s Revenge. It’s worth a pretty penny these days, but ignore unless you’re a hardcore collector.

90's Era Castlevania Part 1

In the Past Article we I have post about Castlevania Vampire Killing Game, After our article about early castlevania , Retro Games Archive will bring back to you memories of great Classic Castlevania. here you can view Castle Vania History and Timelines, also you can bring your old memories of This Retro Vampire Killing Games.

CASTLEVANIA 64 1999

Castlevana’s first step into the realm of 3D divided critics and fans alike, but was moderately successful in transporting the vampire-killing action to a new dimension. However, following Castlevania : Symphony Of The Night was a tough move, and time hasn’t been kind to the rather crude visuals

CASTLEVANIA: LEGACY OF DARKNESS 1999

The original N64 Castlevania was supposed to feature the wolfman Cornell, but he was removed at the last minute and instead stars in this sequel. Like its forerunner, Legacy Of Darkness
wasn’t perfect by any means, but had just about enough of the old Castlevania magic to make it worth a look

Some of The tetris Retro variations part 1

2013-09-19T00:35:00.001-07:00

Who doesn't know Tetris ? i'm Try to write about all of Tetris game alltime. Here I List some of the well-known tetris game.Tetris has been taken as the basis for many similar puzzle games. Here we look at seven key departures

WELLTRIS

■ YEAR: 1989
■ SYSTEM: VARIOUS
■ DEVELOPER:INFOGRAMES
■ SPECTRUM HOLOBYTE

Instead of blocks falling down the screen, this game by Alexey Pajitnov had them cascading down a well along one of the four
sides into a bit made up of an eight by eight square grid. Each of the four walls had to be kept as clear as possible by the player

HATRIS

■ YEAR: 1990

■ SYSTEM: NES, GAME BOY, ARCADE, TURBOGRAFX16

■ DEVELOPER : BULLET PROOF SOFTWARE

Another game designed by Alexey Pajitnov, Hatris had hats rather than blocks falling from the sky. Five identical-style hats needed to be stacked in order to clear them. As well as making an appearance on the NES and Game Boy, the game also made it to the arcades.

3D TETRIS

■ YEAR: 1996
■ SYSTEM:
■ VIRTUAL BOY
■ DEVELOPER: NINTENDO

Sometimes Tetris played games with your mind and you’d look at brick walls and try to rearrange them. With this Virtual Boy exclusive, the mind-bending properties of Tetris went up a notch as you looked into a 3D playing field with a contraption strapped to your head. It was the Virtual Boy’s final release

Castlevania : Retro Vampire Killing Part 1

2013-09-17T17:51:00.002-07:00

KONAMI’S CASTLEVANIA SERIES is undergoing something of a resurgence in popularity of late, thanks to MercurySteam’s critically acclaimed and commercially successful Lords Of Shadowentries. However, videogame veterans will be aware that the bloody history of this vampire-slaying franchise stretches back almost thirty years, right the way back to Nintendo’s 8-bit hardware. Since the original Castlevania– known as Akumajo Draculain its native Japan,

which translates as Devil’s Castle Dracula – hit the Nintendo Famicom Disk System in 1986, we’ve seen instalments on a whole host of popular platforms, including the Mega Drive, N64,PlayStation and – more recently – the iPhone. The Belmont clan’s eternal war against The Prince of Darkness has featured its fair share of twists and turns over the years, with some instalments becoming genre classics while others fall painfully short of the expected quality. Despite this, Castlevaniaboasts one of the most packed lineages in videogaming history, and its penchant for moody settings, whip-cracking action and brilliant music has secured it a legion of devoted fans. Over the next few pages we’ll chart the sometimes tumultuous past of Konami’s gothic masterpiece, covering all of
the games released so far

we Collect Some of the Early ( non 3d ) Castlevania from 1999,
If You feel we Misses some Series from Castlevania, let me Know in the comments below :

CASTLEVANIA 1986

The first entry in the series was originally an exclusive release for the Japan-only Famicom Disk System, but it was released on the NES in 1987. Focusing on the heroic Simon Belmont and his quest to destroy Dracula, the game followed a linear route through six different levels. It would later be ported to the Amiga, C64 and PC, with a Game Boy Advance release in 2004

VAMPIRE KILLER 1986

Despite sharing gameplay, visuals and music with the NES original, the MSX2-only Vampire
Killer– which was released in Japan, Europe and Brazil, but not the US – actually turned out to be a very different proposition. It was non-linear, featured RPG-like elements and had special items to collect

CASTLEVANIA II: SIMON’S QUEST 1987

Following the lead of the RPG-like MSX2 Vampire Killer, Simon’s Quest boasted an open-ended game world which was subject to a day and night cycle. Enemies were more powerful when the sun set, which gave combat an additional challenge. Like its direct predecessor, Simon’s Questmade its debut on the Famicom Disk System before being ported to the NES in 1988.

HAUNTED CASTLE 1988

Most games series from the ‘80s usually appeared in arcades before moving to consoles, but
Castlevaniahas never been one to follow convention. Haunted Castletook the core gameplay of the original and dramatically improved the visuals and sound, but sadly the end result wasn’t as spectacular as it could have been. A Japan-only PS2 conversion appeared in 2006.

CASTLEVANIA III: DRACULA’S CURSE 1989

The third NES game is a real gem, mixing together multiple level paths, different playable
characters and some of the best music on Nintendo’s seminal 8-bit system. It was also notable for being the first game to showcase Alucard, Dracula’s famous offspring

CASTLEVANIA II: BELMONT’S REVENGE 1991

After Castlevania: The Adventure, Belmont’s Revenge was a complete surprise. Considered by many fans to be one of the finest of the “old school” Castlevaniatitles, it pushed the
host hardware to the limit. The soundtrack was especially good, with some truly amazing tunes courtesy of Hidehiro Funauchi

SUPER CASTLEVANIA IV 1991

Essentially a remake of the NES original, Castlevania’s 16-bit debut was rightly regarded as
one of the Super NES’ better titles. Eminently playable and dripping with atmosphere, the CD-quality soundtrack was a thing of beauty

This Retro Game have begun Revolution of RTS gaming !

2013-09-17T17:41:00.000-07:00

Retro RTS Game that sparks The Revolutions

World would be Shock and Awe , when suddenly on a usual day in New york, a massive Soviet army suddenly attacked the big apple and make the world war are inevitable. This Sudden strike make the clash between US army and their Red Opponent Soviet army are started , altough for later sequence also bring Middle eastern Army on the green costume join the fights ( i think maybe the game inspired by the events of Gulf war ) . Thats was the plot for EA's Red Alert, or Officially Command and Conquer, the Legendary RTS Fanchise that Life span long until present day.

This EA's RTS Game doesn't like other genre theres no Character Skill Building like its RPG counterparts, No Fancy Run and Shoot like FPS game. RTS game is all About Strategy, altough you have a great character building technics that succes make you a Legend at RPG game you play, or you have Finished the FPS game 10 times, it's all nothing in RTS if you doesn't make your strategy of resource gathering and Attacking keep in balance and controlled.

Red alert have all factor that make RTS game succes win the hearts of player. Altough for newbie playing Red Alert seems harder compared to other RTS ( me, myself always loose the game every times i played a new level at campaigns ) but when you have get the core strategic consciousness to play this game you will blown away with the fast paced gameplay Red Alert offer

In Red Alert , All are About Speed but don't forget Resource

When you build your Resource mining Vehicle in Red Alert ( i dont now for sure what names of the Resource, but it seem like gold and jewelry ) try as fast as possible , because slow resource gatheing will make your army outnumbered by your opponent. And also remember to make the cheaps units first but same to resource gathering, try to make this as fast as possible. Then you must attacked your vital enemy resource gathering mine/vehicle with that cheap unit , when at the same time you build more pricey units.

what great about Red alert ?

Besides its good game art and its great music score, Rd alert also featured a Great Enemy AI, so even when you played the same map Twice, Three Times or even hundred times the enemy will try different strategies to Destroy your army as soon as possible. The RTS veteran would enjoy this RTS Retro game even with plethora of modern RTS this day.

Do You agree This RTS game so great ? or you think red alert is just boring Hard-To-Play RTS and Choose Age Of Empire ? tell me at the comments box sections below :)

Ultima VII : memories of the most Detailed RPG of it's Time

2013-09-15T16:51:00.001-07:00

Does Ultima VII most detailed And Deepest storyline of Retro RPG Games ?

When you think About Most "detailed RPG" in term of world fastness , Variations of interactions between player and the game world and also NPC Character Lifes, you might be seduced to think that modern RPG like DOTA are most detailed RPG. Our modern gaming technology would make developer of RPG genre capable of making the most detailed RPG compared to old retro RPG., is it true ?

But according to reality and fact Ultima VII are still Relly detailed RPG until Now. Ultima VII aren't Just about detail world and Interactions , Ultima VII also have great story , not like other retro game that make the Enemy Boos / AI boss are BIG-BOLD-VIGILANTE who want to Capture the world or destroy The world, Ultima VII serve the Boss that Greyed Insidous Evil and have good storytelling too for retro game.

Ultima VII Released in 1992

This Retro RPG game was released at 1992, the era that just quite few game creator would have such thinking, to make Rich RPG in terms of world Explorations, And NPC interactions. Ultima VII not just detailed game but it's also make the gameplay for Humorous , like you can throw diapers to your enemy to make them Runaway. Until now i Think just few games would claim that level of details, deep stories and fun of Ultima VII.

But , do you have other thinking ? or you have more detailed RPG than Ultima VII in your minds ? tell me at comments box below :)

Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe Reviews Part 2

2013-09-12T21:00:00.000-07:00

Second Post For Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe Review

This Post Was a Sequel from my review of Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe Game, Created by Andrew Morrish, a combination of Puzzle ( like our Favourite Tetris ) and Platformer ( yes, Mario ! )

Despite the entirely random nature of Morrish’s game, it never feels unfair, mainly
because the controls throughout are superb. Incredibly tight, they allow you to get out of
all sorts of tricky scenarios, while a number of costume unlocks give your avatar new
skills that range from a handy double jump to a jetpack that allows you to stay in the air
for longer periods of time.

Although the core gameplay of Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxeremains
essentially the same as the original Flash game, Morrish has added plenty of extras
that easily justify the price upgrade. Score a high enough combo chain and you’ll create
a gem drop. Earning a set number of gems will allow you to progress through the game’s six worlds, each of which have their own soundtracks and monsters. There are
also a far larger number of suits to unlock, as well as a new challenge room that has
you performing all sorts of ridiculously tough tasks if you want to complete the 18
available challenges.

Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxealso introduces a brand new two-player mode.
The game plays exactly the same as before, but clearing larger chains will drop bigger
hazards on your opponent’s screen. It’s not quite as polished as Tetrisor Twinkle Star,
but it still makes for a highly addictive break from the main game, and it’s all too easy tolose hours in a heated competition. There’s no current option to play online, which is a
little bit of a shame, but that’s the only real downside to the enjoyable two-player mode

When blocks fall down like this you
need to get to the right position quickly

The Graphics and Music of This Super Puzzle-Platform Hybrid game

The graphics themselves are simple and effective, evoking a nice retro feel that
reminds us of an old Master System game. Bright primary colours ensure everything is easy to see, while each level has its own distinct theme, ranging from a cold-looking ice world to a haunted mansion. Far more impressive is Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe’s superb chip-tune soundtrack. Created by Landon Podbielski, it’s absolutely fantastic, and sounds like something that would have been created for the Mega Drive or Amiga in their heydays. It’s brilliant, and is worth buying the game just to hear it.Mixing distinct genres isn’t the easiest of tasks, but Morrish pulls it off with great aplomb. While the multiplayer mode isn’t quite as hectic as we’d have liked, there’s no denying that the core gameplay of Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe(which has now been refined three times) is fantastic. Every
single mistake is always your own and, while you can occasionally get caught out by a stray falling block, most deaths in the game come from your own stupid greed. Highly addictive and packed with replay value, this is an excellent puzzler that needs to be downloaded immediately.

Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe Reviews Part 1

2013-09-11T13:35:00.001-07:00

Retro OLD Games try to Review one of the Most Addicting Puzzle-Platformer game, yes this game - Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe - combine 2 of the most addicted Retro game Genre ( remember Mario and Tetris ? ) , Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe was Created by Andrew Morrish as free Flash Game. Because The game was deserved a lot more than just free game ( i Prove it My self ), Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe now released on steam. Read Our Reviews of Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe

At Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe , The more blocks you stack, the higher your multiplier. Don’t get greedy though

Puzzle And Platformer at Same Time ?

As its name suggests, Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe is an interesting blend of both the puzzle and platformer genres. Games take place in an enclosed eight-block-wide area, and random blocks continually fall from the top of the screen. Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe You then run and jump around the screen, avoiding falling blocks, while lining up suitable combos of coloured blocks that you can then destroy for bonus points.There are three different colour blocks in total, and they become harder to destroy as more of them link together. Destroying blocks increases your levels, which in turn boosts your gun’s power and your bonus multiplier.

There are six different
worlds to be found in Super
Puzzle Platformer Deluxe, each
with their own soundtracks
and enemies.

Get hit by a falling block and your cute avatar will power down to his previous level, dying
completely if he’s still on level one when he gets hit. The floor is also dangerous, being a
row of deadly spikes that will instantly kill your avatar if he comes into contact with it. You’re separated from instant death by a single row of blocks when the game starts, but the frantic nature of Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxemeans it’s all too easy to destroy the
very blocks you’re standing on

If falling blocks and spikes were all you had to worry about then Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxemight be quite simple, but Morrish has added a whole range of static and moving enemies that will continually keep you on your toes.

While the
multiplayer mode is
very entertaining, it’s
not quite up to the
same high standards
of classics like Tetris
and the superb
Twinkle Star Sprites

Cannons fire bullets in numerous directions, detonators explode if your avatar or a falling
block lands on it (taking out anything in the vicinity), while ghosts roam across the screen and must be avoided at all costs. Enemy drops increase as you level up, ensuring that Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxeconstantly challenges you

Missile Command 3D : Missiles Shooting And Controlling in Atari Jaguar

2013-09-10T13:38:00.000-07:00

First Game that use Virtual Reality Helmet

Missile Command 3D for the Jaguar has a very interesting story behind it. Originally known as Missile Command 2000, it was decided that it would become the very first game to utilise the Jaguar’s ill-fated VR Helmet.

Unfortunately, Atari canned the actual helmet before it went into production, this due to problems with the cost and feedback that it made some people feel sick. Thankfully, Atari still shipped the game with a few minor tweaks, but left the VR mode in there. When a couple of prototype units of the VR Helmet were found around ten years ago, the inclusion of the mode in Missile Commandproved useful, as the rare peripherals soon made appearances at shows all over the world.

Developed by Virtuality, who created the helmet and all those popular Virtual Reality arcade games of the early Nineties, Missile Command features three different versions of the
game on a single cartridge. The first is Dave Theurer’s original 1980 arcade game in all its glory. It might lack the trackball control but it plays great with the Jaguar’s pad, and by pressing different numbers on the keypad you can manipulate the game in various clever ways. As well as being able to zoom in and out of the action, you can also transfer the game onto the screen of a virtual arcade machine or play it on

a 3D replication of the Atari Lynx. The second game included on the cartridge is ‘3D Mode’. This is just a slight update of the original game that features some fancy graphics and a zoomed-in view, meaning you need to watch the radar and scroll the screen around to take down the missiles attacking your city below. It’s a nice take on the classic game, but isn’t a patch on the excellent ‘Virtual Mode’, which is easily worth tracking this game down for. Virtual Mode is a completely new version of the game that features a first-person perspective, polygon graphics, a superb soundtrack, great power-ups and end-of-level bosses.
It’s been tailor made to get the best out of Atari’s machine and it does it exceptionally well. In Virtual Mode you need to look up to the sky to see the missiles coming and switch between the three bases to maximum effect. Levels also now take place in different settings, with you starting underwater (in an obvious homage to Imagic’s Missile Commandclone Atlantis) before progressing up to a level where you must protect your space station from both missiles and asteroids, paying tribute to another Atari classic. Missile Command 3Dis a worthy update of one of the greatest arcade games of all time. Even without the VR helmet it gives an impressive illusion of real 3D that really showcases what the Jaguar can do in skilled hands. When you see games like this, and the equally superb Tempest 2000, you really do wish that Atari had had the foresight to update a few more of its classic franchises for its machine

"Virtual Gun"

Back across the Pacific, Gunpei Yokoi had worked his way up to heading Nintendo’s internal development division on the back of the success of his popular Game & Watch line. He was about to help launch what would become the first mainstream home lightgun. The so-called Beam Gun, released in Japan for Nintendo’s Famicom console, would be re-branded for Western audiences as the NES Zapper.
Owing its design more to a Star Warsblaster than anything on the local rifle range, the Zapper came bundled with a g ame called Duck Hunt, which would wind up as one of the most famous of Yokoi’s creations.

Although effectively little more than an updated version of the old black-and-white ‘skeet shooting’ TV games, Duck Hunt’s appealing graphicsand sniggering hunting dog pal hit a chord and helped sell plenty of Zappers. The NES became the first console to have a proper lightgun game library, with titles including an updated version of Yokoi’s Wild Gunman, police target shooting sim Hogan’s Alleyand an unofficial version of Exidy’s gory arcade release Chiller. Not to be outdone, Sega developed its own Light Phaser in time for the North American launch of its Master System console in 1986, and Atari followed suit with the XG-1 lightgun in 1987. Atari’s peripheral was designed primarily for the 7800 and XEGS consoles and games like Alien Brigade and Barnyard Blaster, but could also be used with the Atari 2600. However, only one compatible title, Sentinel, was ever released. On the Master System, support for the Light Phaser was limited to simple shooting galleries like Safari Huntand Marksman/Trap Shootingbut, in the arcades, Taito was unleashing a spectacular military shoot-’em-up that would take the system by storm

Operation Wolf

Operation Wolf, with its cabinet-mounted Uzi-style gun controller, was the interactive equivalent of watching Stallone battle the entire Vietnamese army in Rambo II, and the
most spectacular game of its type so far. Although the original game used a positional
gun rather than an optical targeting system, full support for the Light Phaser and better
graphics than its NES counterpart meant that the Master System port was the most
impressive home version of the arcade hit.

The ‘Operation Wolf effect’ also spread to the current home computers, popularising lightgun
games on systems like the Spectrum and Commodore 64. Ocean Software’s home ports were huge sellers, despite being released without support for a lightgun peripheral at first. “The player’s ‘target’ was placed in the cross-hairs by joystick and fired,” explains Colin Porch, who coded the C64 version. “I remember that we deliberately put a degree of spread into where the bulletswent, since it didn’t look right if each one followed exactly the same path as the previous one.”

FROM DUCKS TO GUNSLINGERS, KI LLER CYBORGS AND ARMIES OF THE UNDEAD, THE TH RILL OF THE COMPUTER-GENERATED SHOOTING RANGE HAS, IT SEEMS, REMAINED UNDIMINISHED. MIKE BEVAN LOOKS AT THE HISTORY OF ONE OF VIDEOGAMING’S MOST SUCCESSFUL SUB-GENRES

From Humble Beginning

Interactive gun games have been around for decades in one form or another. Our more mature readers might recall mechanical amusements involving sinking battleships or harpooning sharks, or the Western-themed rifle ranges that were a common feature of pier-top arcadesand Eighties theme parks. The act of physically aiming and squeezing the trigger on a virtual target has a tactile appeal that separates lightgun shooters from other combat-oriented videogames and, as the technology has improved, they’ve evolved from blasting archaic white dots to playing peace-keeping cops, Rambo-style freedom-fighters, big game hunters or the last hope against the zombie apocalypse.

But it all started with a primitive rifle shooting game and a mechanical duck…In 1936, a jukebox company called Seeburg produced theRay-O-Lite, the world’s first light-activated shooting game. It featured a rail-mounted ‘flying’ duck equipped with a sensor that would register hits from a light-emitting rifle. A hit on the duck made it fall. The principle of using a light beam to detect where a player was aiming soon became common in amusement arcades, with notable mechanical shooting games like Sega’s Periscopeand Killer Sharkin the late Sixties and early Seventies. With the onset of electronic videogames, it was a natural progression to apply the idea to an on-screen target and, of course, one of the pioneers was the remarkable Ralph Baer.In the late Sixties, Ralph had been working on the Brown Box project, a prototype of what would become the Magnavox Odyssey – the first commercial home videogaming system. “It became immediately obvious to me when we had one spot on the screen that we could shoot at with a gun that had simple electronics,” Ralph remembers.
After
experimenting with an optical gun for the Brown Box, he designed the firstcommercial lightgun, the Shooting Galleryhardware/ game combo for the Odyssey in 1972. This consisted of a hunting rifle-shaped peripheral and four simple games, which used paper overlays that were placed over the glowing targets on the screen.While previous arcade shooting titles had
used targets equipped with light sensors, Ralph’s optical gun was different – it used
a sensor placed in the gun barrel itself. This meant that the gun could register hits from
other luminous objects, such as a light bulb. It seems that Ralph wasn’t too concerned about
this capacity to cheat the game. “We couldn’t care less, as long as it worked just fine when
aimed at a bright target spot on a dark TV screen,” he chuckles, “and that it did.”

Over in Japan, a fresh-faced toy designer by the name of Gunpei Yokoi had been working on several electro-mechanical projects for Nintendo. Fascinated with the idea of shooting games, he had created the Nintendo Beam Gun, a cheap lightgun toy that included a set of targets fitted with solar cells of the same type found in pocket calculators. Applying similar technology to the arcade, in 1974 he designed Wild Gunman, a target shooting game consisting of a lightgun hooked up to a 16 millimetre projection screen that displayed pre-recorded footage of gun-slinging actors. Players had to out-draw, and out-shoot, their on-screen opponent in a simulated Wild West duel.Gunpei’s influence on the world of lightgun games would turn out to be massive, but more on that later. On the home front, the Seventies’ glut of Pong-inspired videogame consoles like the UK’s Grandstand and Binatone TV Master turned bouncing squares into targets for pack-in lightguns, becoming big commercial successes. But, when these monochrome platforms were superseded by the colour Atari VCS and Intellivision, home target shooting games had fallen out of favour. The new systems launched without lightgun peripheral support, and the arcade was again the only place to fi nd new and exciting games using the technology.

F17 Challenge : Amiga Racing Game

2013-09-07T06:45:00.000-07:00

When the Amiga was at its most popular during the early to mid- Nineties, we seemed to have plenty of racers available.

When this title came along from Team
17, a lot of people asked if we needed yet another
Formula One game. Having enjoyed a few of their
previous games, such as Alien Breedand Project X, I
decided to give it a go.

The lights turn green and we’re off. The first thing
I noticed is that I was bashed about for the first part
of the lap as all the cars jostled for position. Colliding
with cars obviously causes damage, and the higher the
percentage of damage, the less likely you are to finish
the race. You can make a pit stop – which will lose you
places – but if you don’t, and you reach 100 per cent
damage, the race is over. At one point I had to complete
a lap stuck in fourth gear – it cost me five places and I
scored no points.

Playing F17 Challengeis quite simple. The computer-controlled cars are a real pain and not very realistic

as they sweep from one side of the track to the other.
However, what we expect from this sort of game is
speed, and this has plenty, with the on-screen graphics
moving along at a fast pace. The sound and music are
not entirely up to the usual Team 17 standards; however,
it was not programmed by their usual crew. F17has
some nice touches and I preferred this to the Nigel
Mansell effort, it just lacks a little excitement and a two-player option. It was released as a budget game though
and, for the price at the time, was certainly worth a play
