Kokotoni Wilf I think. Magenta dinosaur.

Blood Brothers has a 2D shooty platform stage, and a 3D spaceship racing stage.

The 3D one is pictured as the in-game screen in the archive, but I'm sure when I played it most of the game was in the colourful platform stage.

Nice chart... Someone's been having a 'slow work day'

Wow, just three original (as in 'non-license') games in the last 4 years of existence??

I knew they were TV/media-heavy years for some companies, but didn't realise it'd be that low.

Harrier Attack?

I've only just realised that a stonechat is a bird

Salamander?

Barbarian was one of my favourite beat-em-ups. I remember getting it later for the Amiga as well. One small criticism: the forward roll - especially when followed by a kick - is probably a bit OP. It takes a bit of practice to be able to counter an opponent just rolling backwards and forwards into y...

1. Barbarian 2. Cauldron II 3. Barbarian II Cauldron and Antiriad are high up in nostalgia value for me, but I'm not sure they've kept their appeal quite as much. The platforms in Cauldron are a bit unforgiving, and just navigating round the map in Antiriad (even with the armour) feels a bit cumbers...

Ah cool - that explains it -thanks..!

...Yep..!

Well, that's used up 3 minutes of all of our afternoons...

Jeez, I'm stuffed... Thanks...!

Will take the opportunity to jump in with what I suspect may be rather quick....

If you've got your own graphics, it's a bit shorter as you don't need to faff around calculating the CHARS value. Try sticking the graphics in a DEFB at the end of the routine and then loading HL with the label, something like: org 40000 LD D, 1 ; Y position LD E, 15 ; X position CALL Print_Char ; P...

Ha - I remember those ads. 38p + VAT per minute, jeez...

"Chatter Box - The interactive message board. Say what you want to say - stir up a hornets' nest, start up a friendship! See the immediate response!"

Yep that pretty much sounds like social media and the internet to me...

Edited: I assume you are talking of the Amiga version of SF2. Yes, I've played it, it was trash compared to the arcade and console versions. The particularly annoying thing about the Amiga versions of the SF2 games is that they look the part, but the gameplay is quite badly off. SF2 looked and play...

Woohoo...! That's a couple of recent ones I've recognised.

Someone else can have a go.

My gut instinct says that's one of the treasures you can pick up in Sabre Wulf.

Maybe you have to switch the 'adult' flag on to get more.

[Edit:] Seriously though, I should probably play this game, as a resident of said city. As well as visit the streets in Trashman (Bath), and locate all relevant Powerboxes.

Wahay.. !

I'd almost forgotten there were fish floating around trying to eat you. I remember someone writing a letter to Crash about it.

Someone else can have a go.

Is that from Nodes of Yesod?

(Wasn't sure if this is a 'fix', but was prompted to ask this after Kraal was mentioned in the 'guess the screen$' thread) The magazine reviews for the 4th Dimension compilation indicate that it contained: Super Cup Football Kraal Head the Ball Klimax ...Though in our entry, it's got Rollaround in p...

Was going to guess one of the bubbles from Underwurlde.

But the attributes square positioning indicates that the graphic might be fixed to 8-pixel/single-character positions. Puzzle game perhaps...?

Used to love wandering around the castle in Fairlight . Although there's a bit of occasional tile/room repetition (the small tower stairways), I loved the arrangement of the different room shapes and sizes (including outdoor areas) in a logical and congruous way. Felt 'natural' that each one was par...

Good fun as always, thanks @GreenCard..!
