Games That Weren't^®

A simple and quick preview, but one which has been done very well and features a sort of wizard that you have to guide to the end of a room, avoiding some sort of raindrops. We believe that this was … Continue reading →

Trailrunner is an interesting preview, mostly because it seems to be lifting a lot from the C64 conversion of Stun Runner, at least in the main sprite form anyway. I wonder if Trailrunner was being developed in response to the … Continue reading →
