This game looks to be a Space Invader/Mega Phoenix clone in updated fashion, and it isn’t that bad. The background graphics and sprites look quite good. Even though the preview is simple, it plays well and just has a good … Continue reading →

A nice looking preview of a puzzler with a strange name. This is another clone of the simple ‘Pairs’ concept, with nothing really new to add, apart from a different front end and some nice graphics. At the time, this … Continue reading →

Kid Saviour was to be a Giana Sisters clone by Roy Fielding, who did some music work and also did Hectic 2 back in the early 90’s. All the hard work according to Roy was done, with decent collision, scrolling … Continue reading →
