And lets not forget the sequel. For me, it was the perfect follow-up: futuristic metalic landscape, single-shots become double-shots, add a homing missile, and sprinkle some wee call-back easter eggs throughout the game. I've always got a spare credit for Time Pilot '84 too. ๐

Super Sprint (arcade) I think Super Sprint shows that you can bring back a classic old game and, really, you don't need to add much to it. Collecting the occasional power-up wrench.. I like the opening gates which can shorten your path.. Oh, and I *love* the chopper when you crash and blow-up. ๐
Yeah, this was the first game Microprose made on the F-19, around a year before the F-117 Nighthawk was publicly acknowledged. So lots of educated guess-work on what its capabilities would be and what it would look like. (When the Amiga version came out, two years later, an F-117 option was added.)
Of course, it could never quite match the beauty of the arcade game โ a really good looking title, and a solid game, with a story-line that could only come out of Japan. But the C64 conversion saved me from spending a ton of credits down at the corner shops. ๐
I remember seeing the C64 version of Pitfall on demo, way back when I still had a VIC-20. I thought it looked *amazing*. ๐ Still, as always with those geniuses at Activision, they fit some excellent gameplay in a crazy-small memory footprint. ๐
No problem. ๐ If there's a mediocre game to be experienced on a niche platform, I'm all over it. ๐ I did have a 128 back in the day but, apart a Word Processor and Ultima V, there was nothing to be found here that took advantage of it. So it's nice to find the C128 things that are out there now. ๐
I never played Space Taxi on the C64 back in the day. So when I discovered Air Taxi on the Amiga (on Aminet) I thought it was a beautifully original idea. Air Taxi also supported the joystick 3+4 parallel port adapter, so full multi-player Taxi madness could occur. It made for some great times. ๐
Bank Panic (arcade) I just love the ridiculousness of this games premise: one lone lawman, defending the entire bank against a continual onslaught of robbers. Excellent cartoony graphics too, that make it a joy to play. ๐
Naughty Ones (Amiga) It's like a Bubble Bobble back-story, except they weren't turned into dinosaurs. ๐ The bouncy-balls as weapons mechanic is kinda fun, but you realise the electric shot power-up is so much more effective. But a fun single-screen platformer all the same.

The 100k tax trap limits re-investment in our economy, and disincentivises people from earning above this threshold. Those with a student loan pay 71% marginal rates. Those with children LOSE money by earning over the threshold. I asked the Chancellor what she is doing to tackle this issue.
