Super Stardust Preview - An Amiga shoot em up on the C64? Well sort of

In 1994 Team 17 published the sequel ' Super Stardust ' for the Amiga AGA and Amiga CD32. it was regarded by many as a very good Asteroids game, with slick graphics and sound you just couldn't help but tell your friends about. Well now all these years ahead, and this week a coder by the name of Jupp3 has shown what the tunnel part of the game might've looked like if it was released on the

Red Baron 3000 Preview - Onslaught teases a C64 game that could've been awesome

Throughout this week a few previews had appeared that didn't really take to my fancy, but one such C64 game called Red Baron 3000 Preview, took me completely by surprise. Released by Onslaught earlier on today, Red Baron 3000 is a top scrolling shooter with very impressive graphical effects and simultaneous music and sfx. According to GTW, this game was by Hein Holt who was inspired by the

Wolfenstein/RPG engine previewed on the Amstrad CPC

This isn't something you see every day, a new engine previewed on the Amstrad CPC, and not just any engine either, the classic 1992 ID Software's 'Wolfenstein' or in the case of this engine, Wolfenstein/RPG created by Optimus. This preview gives us a first hand look of what the developer had planned in a game but never finished last year; a smooth dungeon crawler with free movement, which can

Towering Inferno - Intellivision homebrew with a burning movie inspiration

This could well be our first Intellivision homebrew as only just last month, the developer Kiwi announced a brand new Intellivision game called ' Towering Inferno ', which is inspired by the movie Towering Inferno. Currently in an early stage of development, the developer was originally going to make a top down game called ' Venture ' however after seeing a clip of inferno for the Atari 2600

BUTCHER - A bloody gory 2D shooter game available as a prototype

Welcome to the bloodiest and most fast paced 2D shooter we've posted this week, a game that is a blood-soaked love letter to the early 90's by Transhuman Design (creators of Soldat and King Arthur's Gold). It is also a mix and mash of Doom blended in with a bit of the classic Abuse, this is 'BUTCHER', a freely available prototype for PC and Linux that is also available to play in your browser.

DreadStar - A wicked PC shoot em up that's in development with ZX Spectrum tunes!

Growing up there was nothing more satisfying than playing top down scrolling shoot em ups such as the fantastic classic Tyrian 2000, which is also available on GOG. I'm also a bit of a sucker for bullet hell shooters that just don't stop with the constant flood of bullets across your gaming screen. But this game ' DreadStar 'by AugmentedIrreality takes the best out of this genre, adds a few

Saturn Icarus - Work in progress retro inspired first person shooter

Don't get me wrong the latest Doom release is a damn fine game, but in all honesty I prefer playing the much older types, the original Wolfenstein 3D or in fact the original Doom released back in the early 90's. So it stands to reason why I just had to play Mischa's first person retro inspired game ' Saturn Icarus ', that's available to download on the PC. Please be aware however that it is a

XYDONIA - High quality shoot 'em up looks to impress! (+Demo)

Move over R-Type, step aside Project-X, as a new shoot 'em up is pushing its way into the action blasting genre at full force!

Brutal Doom 64 - Enhanced Doom 64 gets new alpha footage!

Throughout last year and into this one, we've been featuring many of SGtMarkIV's release updates for Brutal Doom, which as we said before was pretty much the bloodiest Doom mod we've come across, with more gibs and guts than you could ever need in a first person shooter. But now after some hinting, the same creator has moved onto ' Brutal Doom 64 ', which according to SGt, "revitalizes the old
