Dingo remake for the Speccy from Tardis.dk WARM  224 °
Nov 13 2011 01:55 PM | Gandalf42 in Classic
Sokurah is back from this years REPLAY Expo in Blackpool (UK) and, true to his word, has released Dingo for the Spectrum... which itself is a conversion of the 1983 coin-op game from Jaleco. The remake was created by Sokurah from Tardis.dk, with former Ocean staffer Mark R. Jones on graphics.

You play the part of "Big Ted"; a panda who must collect as much fruit as possible while trying to avoid the ravenous Dingoes. You can pick up and throw the fruit at the Dingoes to stun them for a few seconds, but the more you throw.. the less there will be to collect and contribute to your highscore.

Download the remake here.

Lazy Game Reviews looks at Elder Scrolls: Arena. WARM  250 °
Nov 11 2011 10:45 PM | Gandalf42 in Classic
Phreakindee has posted his latest Lazy Game Reviews update: this week, in honor of the recent release of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, he's taking a look at how the series got its start with Elder Scrolls: Arena.

Quite a rocky start it was too... Elder Scrolls: Arena was a game that really found it's identity late in development.. still, it had plenty going for it, and future games in the series really did a lot to polish the rough edges and cement its status as one of the premier Fantasy Role Playing Game series of all time.

Check out the review in our media section.
