Invasion of the Hungarian Covers
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-30

We are proud to announce that we've added no less than 28 scans for 17 Hungarian releases. A nice fellow by the name of Bear(TM) (but not the Plus/4 scener Bear) sent us the first four: Almatúra (Apple Tour), Forth+, Kőműves Kelemen (Kelemen the Bricklayer) and an alternative scan for Légicsata (Air Battle). The rest are from Crown: Bölcsek Köve (Stone of Sages), Flipper, Godzilla, Kincsvadász (Treasure Hunter), Perspektíva (Perspective), Sielő (Skier), Turbo 16, Ürpók (Space spider). Plus there are 5 more from Crown, each one of these also has an original TAP file: Amőba (Amoeba), Észvesztő Utvesztő (Mindboggling Maze), Európa (Europe), Rázós út (Shaky Road). And last but not least Elvarázsolt Kastély (Enchanted Castle), which is a nice - if not hard to learn - platformer. If you've never played this one, don't let the weird language scare you away, you don't need it to run and jump, grab flashing objects and avoid anything that moves in this old-school game. Big thanks for the guys for this stuff!



Retro Gamer Returns!
Posted by Ulysses777 on 2005-10-28
Today it has been announced that Retro Gamer, which closed down a month ago, has been purchased by newcomer Imagine Publishing from the administrators of the defunct Live Publishing. The magazine is to have a completely new design, and will have a new editorial team, made up from former GamesTM and Zzap64/Crash staff members, but will still receive contributions from the former RG freelancers.

Retro Gamer will again be a monthly publication, and the issue numbering will continue from where the old RG left off, starting at issue 19. The first issue is due to be released on December 8th!

Cove Mover Scans
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-27
or More Cover Scans rather, again from C16 Chris. This time it's 3 more Mastertronic games: Rockman, Return of Rockman and Prospector Pete. These are full size scans, and there are even some alternative back covers. Thanks for these!


More Cover Scans
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-23
C16 Chris sent in these: full size scan for Mr. Puniverse, full size scan for POD (Proof of Destruction). These are of course classic C16 Mastertronic games. As a new feature for the site, when you click on Mr. Puniverse (or any other game for that matter), now you can see a list of derived software (if there are any). Mr. Puniverse was popular among level editors, so there's quite a few. Also 4 pages of international instructions for the Firebird game Runner. Thanks for these!


A New Compilation And A Manual
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-20
More cool stuff from C16 Chris, this time a rare Italian compilation called Computer Games E Utilities N.9. It contains some original games and utilities, these have also been added to the database with downloads. We now also have the German language manual for Tynesoft's Music Synthesiser. Enjoy!


3 More Cover Replacements
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-19
C16 Chris sent in some more classic Mastertronic game cover scans. We now have full size replacements for Master Chess, Megabolts and Xadium. Thanks to him! There will be more to come.


More Covers!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-18
C16 Chris sent us these: Maniax tape cover and instructions. This is actually a very nicely written game (like some of the other Jörg Dierks games), check it out if you don't know it, plus make sure to vote. We also uploaded the Karate King disk cover, front and back. Stay tuned for more!


Some new covers!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-17
The massive amount of covers from C16 Chris are slowly making their way to the site. Today we've added a full size replacement cover for Mastertronic's Kane. The only other new set today is for Into The Deep, another Firebird release that now has the 4 page instructions from the international release. Enjoy, there will be more to come.


Club Info 89!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-15
Erich/Unlimited released Club Info 89. It's the usual two sided German diskmag. Check out side B for a few new releases, such as the ASCII-movie/demo Godzilla Demo. Thanks to Luca for supplying this!


New Demo Release!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-12
Skoro of Assassins just released Graphics Show. This two part demo features some nice converted pictures (22 small ones in the second part) and SID-only music. The intro graphics was converted by Kichy. The demo marks the 26th release this year, 6th for the author. This should be enough to feed the hunger of the demo-starved masses... Check it out and don't forget to vote! Thanks to TLC for supplying us this hot piece of warez.


New Cover Scans & TAP Images!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-10-09
October is here, and so is our first update of the month. We've added 3 new Italian Visiogame releases today: Chess (Visiogame), Crazy Brush and Horror House. They are slightly modified versions of Starter Chess, Wacky Painter and Dork's Dilemma respectively. Each one comes with a nice front/back scan and original TAP image. Plus we've added the international instructions for the cool old C16 game Harvey Headbanger. Enjoy!
