@OldSchoolBooks1 Looks like a splicing of On the run, Nodes of Yesod and Exolon 😆

Looking at the #CrashMagazine #ZXSpectrum covertapes #retrogaming December 1990 #Shuriken, nice big graphics , very easy to blunder into something that shoots you but still a nice game to have on a covertape .

@RetroDerezzed I can't think of anything to say, that's not already been said RR. I understand, but feel powerless to help.

Time to take my leave and bid my friends here a fond farewell I've done all I can do I've explored all avenues for assistance and support I'm out of options, and, more fundamentally, I am out of stamina, both mental and physical Take care of yourselves, and appreciate life

@ZX48kSpectrum Good game. Atmospheric

@ATRightMovies Back to school

What was the first film you saw Robert Downey Jr in?

@RetroDerezzed It's absolutely outrageous

Which actor/actress was your first crush?

@80s_Kidz No. It's rotten. 🤢

Caramac, is it a yes or a hard no?

@arcadeartshop Wow 👌

Absolutely gorgeous Atari Pole Position restoration by Frank with all new artwork from us. 😎

@crewedave1 @tobobobo @tomjamespotter Yep. If it had come out 18 months earlier, it would have been huge IMHO. I ended up switching to Amiga.

@tobobobo @tomjamespotter @RetroBrothers I always wanted a Sam, but the upgrade was marginal. Nowhere near enough to justify the upgrade

Question for the Speccy experts: if the attribute-clash screen colouring method was a hack to get around the limitations of the 16k machine, why didn't Sinclair/Amstrad ditch that for a colour-per-pixel approach when 128k became available? Thanks!

@ScarredForLife2 I quite like it. Maximilian Schell is excellent 👌

THE BLACK HOLE (1979) kickstarted Disney's 'Dark Phase' with beautiful spaceships, cool robots, Anthony Perkins getting shredded, and an existential nightmare of an ending in which the good guys go to heaven and the bad guys go to hell. I adore it.

@tobobobo @tomjamespotter Ah the SAM. Lovely machine, but yes, it was late to the party.

@tomjamespotter @RetroBrothers Think it was tried. Couple of years too late though.

@OldSchoolBooks1 One of the platform greats. Technically stunning

Looking at the #CrashMagazine #ZXSpectrum covertapes #retrogaming December 1990 #TechnicianTed an amazing game to get on a cover tape, but very difficult to play.

@tomjamespotter I don't think so. Speccy owners generally weren't bothered about colour clash and the back catalogue was so extensive it would cut a lot of gamers off. It also meant 128 versions of games could be made with the same code, just utilising the AY and extra RAM

@RetroBrothers Should they have done, though? Do you think they would have been more successful ditching backwards compatibility and making a machine with visuals that could compete with the emerging machines?

@SirArturo3 The push-flickscroll on the CPC464 was a bit of a let down, but there were worse versions!

@RetroBrothers And the one from Amstrad! Those who were not very happy were the MSX’s users…

Nothing warms the heart like a flamethrower in a pixelated war zone. Literally. 🍗🔥 Still one of the most stressful (and awesome) games ever made. #RetroGames #Konami

@sw_tweets 1983 always. Lucas just never knows when to stop.

Anakin Skywalker at the end of ‘Return of the Jedi’ Which version do you prefer?

@PixelCNinja It's one a the greatest 16bit titles ever. Stonewall classic 👌

In Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, The Bitmap Brothers created the ultimate "violent future-sport" that felt like a chrome-plated mixture of handball, hockey, and a riot. It’s one the most iconic game on the Amiga, famous for its "metallic" art style and the legendary "Ice Cream!" sound bite from the stadium vendors.

Monday heading towards us...

@schuachi 👍👍
