I love this game - I have loads of games on my original 1988 STFM of which only a few get dragged out for a nostalgia fest every now and then - this is still one of them. Original concept, thoughtful gameplay, good graphics for the time, excellent soundtrack.March 31, 2005 by JamesRC
When you've produced the best game of its kind, it doesn't make sense to produce another, in the same mold, but which seems a few generations behind both in terms of design and gameplay, but this is exactly what's been done here. It's impossible to review Chubby Gristle without comparisons to the previous hit, and these comparisons are not favourable.March 30, 2005 by JamesRC
The ST version of Ghouls 'n' Ghosts is, bluntly, full of faults. From the "Continue" screen that mis-reports the number of credits remaining and eventually displays a corrupted graphical blob, to the wide variety of gamplay glitches. One level contains a group of enemies that simply can't kill you, while the next randomly spawns monsters ON TOP of the player with no warning and no way to avoid them. The collision detection is varied, overly forgiving in some cases and massively unfair in others. There's a great many "What killed me?!" moments and there are quite a few graphical problems which shall be covered later. Yes, it seems this title was rushed out of the US Gold gates with little real testing, and it has a number of problems high enough to kill most games dead. Somehow, though, they don't.March 30, 2005 by JamesRC
Something about Terramex screams "Budget game". The presentation is typically adequate and no more, and the gameplay, while entertaining enough, isn't particularly epic. The selection of five characters more or less serves as a gimmick, the choice affecting nothing other than the player sprite and the solution to a single room in the game.March 15, 2005 by indigo
Imagine 'SIM Music Manager' where you as the player are given the task of taking on some of the biggest names in popular music and overseeing their rise to the top. With names slightly altered to protect the developer from a law suit, the game features Michael Jackson and Kylie Minogue parodies and a host of other eighties personalities.
A few weeks ago, I finally received a very rare menu for the Stonish website: Mad Vision menu #Z. I have been looking for this menu for 15 years, but I must admit I was a bit disappointed since it didn't look as good as the other menu-disks made by Mad Vision. The question remained: Was this menu an authentic one or a fake? I didn't have any contact with old Mad Vision members, only C-Rem, who joined the crew at the end of its lifecycle (long after Mad Vision stopped making menu-disks). With the help of Maartau (Atari Legend) and Orion (Replicants), we managed to trace one of the group's co-founders: Def KLF. He kindly replied to my questions about Mad Vison #Z: even though he didn't remember how it looked, he said this one was probably a fake. But well, I couldn't just leave it with that. This opportunity was perfect to ask him some other questions about Mad Vision. The crew was famous for its menus and cracktros, but also for its diskmags (Amazine) and demos. The first time I heard of Mad Vision was early in 1992, just when they released the great Massive Attack. So it was time to ask Def KLF more details about the team, from its creation to its demise.
