Go Karts was a game that sadly was never going to happen. Coder Ze Smasher had created 4 disksides of a game – but only with mostly graphics and only about 1% coding for a title screen. No code was … Continue reading
A short entry for a title that was mentioned in a loading screen for Nato Commander by Microprose back in 1984. We believe that Go Sets Go was a sports game of some kind, but little else is known at … Continue reading
1992-2008 Bitmap Brothers Platforms: PC Engine and Nintendo DS The PC Engine/TurboGrax-16 is a wonderful platform with a wide range of titles, including my favourite – Parasol Stars. As the platform started to get a little bit of traction, we … Continue reading
