this is an absolutely excellent game and definitely one of my favorites. And it is also one of the favorites of many more people; The only thing that happened is that it was not given as much hype as others who enjoyed more commercial advantages, more fame and more recognition, but it certainly deserves to be at the top. In fact, killing those horrible insects in such an original way is still popular today.
A wonder that does not age!

Ant Attack, 23 Nov 2020 (Rating: 5)

It's true that Boom Bot is a marvel
But the real credit goes to Ant Attack.
It seems archaic but for those of us of a certain age it is adorable
How to forget the first sensations when seeing it. You didn't even need to try it, just seeing it excited you

Zombie Zombie, 24 Nov 2020 (Rating: 3)

In fact, I was thinking about possible enhancements and/or extensions to Ant Attack... until this came along ... in fact I remember it as a crude attempt to follow the same scheme. 
The old charm of Ant Attack is irreplaceable.

Boom Bot, 26 Nov 2020 (Rating: 4)

I place this game somewhere in the middle between Ant Attack and Zombie Zombie.

The homage it claims to be to Ant Attack is very well achieved. It is a purist tribute, (a pure tribute) that is, it does not pretend to be an excessive evolution. Paradoxically that places it closer than Zombie Zombie (despite the fact that ZZ is from the same time).
Certainly a well-deserved tribute to Ant Attack.
Well done Boom Bot!

Head over Heels, 24 Dec 2020 (Rating: 5)

I read very good reviews for Head over Heels and Skool Daze. No wonder they are among the most acclaimed. Good fun and surprising. Let's focus on HoH, one of my historical favorites.
Its appearance was not as novel as perhaps others (saturated market perhaps?) But it was groundbreaking. It's great to alternately handle your 2 characters. Different qualities (jump). When they come together it is the best.The graphics of the rest of the characters and the decoration are sooo beautiful. And they also have a great balance between what they want to show and the detail with which they show it.
The sound is 10/10. It's amazing how well it works more than 3 decades later.

This is Superb!!!
IN fact im still playing it and have no time to write a proper critic :)

Alien 8, 13 Feb 2021 (Rating: 5)

Wow! How could I have forgotten One of the best for so long?
Thanks for bringing it.
And thanks for remembering also pyracurse and great escape, I will review them ... great and unforgettable games
Alien8 is also one of the best memories.
I remember we spent hours trying to compete to see how many cryoChambers we were able to put reactivated.
But it's so looong that we never reached light-year= 0... an impressive map indeed!
Fantastic genius they had in Ultimate to change the skin to Knight Lore, decades before that concept became fashionable in the first Person Shooters. And i n fact much more than that!!

Nosferatu the Vampyre, 10 Jun 2021 (Rating: 4)

That's great! the page works again
And trying classic games with isometric perspective, like the ones I like!

This one with vampires and with Van Helsing is not perfect but quite good indeed. I think A.Grussu sums it up very well.
The music is strange and I thought they intended to give it a harrowing touch !
Its graphics were used by me for an essay in the popular SFML library!

Knight Lore, 10 Jun 2021 (Rating: 5)

Little more can be said about this immortal masterpiece! Except to analyze it in detail and do it justice, of course!
Of Ultimate's creations this is the most celebrated, and rightly so for its revolutionary character.
In short, a groundbreaking game and very well worked (and yes, one that helped us, future programmers, to get interested in game coding and overcoming new challenges)

Highway Encounter, 01 Oct 2022 (Rating: 5)

Glad to see the site up and running again!!

One thing I wanted to ask is that the host provider try to fix the continuous crashes on the web.
It is a pity that this beautiful collection of the opinions that older children had about digital artworks is lost or at least not available to the new generations or to anyone who wants to investigate.

Let's see Highway Encounter.

One of the best examples of how to make the most of the machine's capabilities.
I agree with the last critics in regards to the elegance of the game...Probably one of the most elegant titles in history; graphics wise but also about sound, controls, mood...
In fact, there is hardly a single flaw to blame.
The action is as if it were taking place on one of those futuristic highways without asphalt, like glass, its appearance is incredibly sensational.
... you should not only play this game with frack but also wear VR headset because of how advanced its appearance is.
