Game Review – Psycho Hopper (1990)

My first-ever experience of a ‘hop and gun’ game!

Game Review – Octoplex (1989)

This M.A.D. offering is somewhat derivative in the sound and graphics stakes, but it’s a pretty original and playable game nonetheless.

Collection Update – Two More Titles

Just a quick update here for my latest Ebay purchases.

So two more of the rare titles obtained - Die! Alien Slime from Mastertronic Plus cost £3.20, and Starforce Fighter in second-wave Mastertronic packaging was £2.49.

That’s pretty much it. The search continues for the remaining 13 games!

Total games: 198

Average cost: £1.16

‘Olympic Sports’ Game Review – Grand Prix Tennis (1987)

Well it’s the last day of the 2012 Olympics, so here’s my last review of a game based on an Olympic sport!

‘Olympic Sports’ Game Review – Bump Set Spike! (1986)

I rather enjoyed the Beach Volleyball at the Olympics – the women’s version that is! The same can’t really be said for this Volleyball simulation on the Entertainment USA branding however...

‘Olympic Sports’ Game Review – Sailing (1989)

Mastertronic raided the Activision back catalogue once more for the latest game in my Olympic-themed series. Warning: if you suffer from sea sickness you may want to give this one a miss!

‘Olympic Sports’ Game Review – Superstar Ping-Pong (1987)

The next Olympic sport I’m looking at is Table Tennis, and this M.A.D. release is a pretty good simulation of the game with plenty of options.
