Bomb Jack DX C64 - C64 classic overhauled alpha footage!

You may remember us giving you the big feature heads up over an overhauled work in progress announcement of Bomb Jack for the C64, well we've just been told by Retro Nerd of the EAB forums, that the developer Retrofan has now released the very latest alpha footage of the C64 arcade superhero classic conversion. Another news of note is the game is no longer just Bomb Jack overhauled but it now has an official name of Bomb Jack DX C64. This video tease shows us a glimpse of the detail in the enhanced version, the smooth game play and the great soundtrack!

Bomb Jack - C64 classic is getting an incredible overhaul!

We was originally going to save this for tomorrow but seeing as today has been really special for retro gaming releases, it's time to announce that Bomb Jack is getting a much better port than was originally released way back in 1986. According to the developer 'Retrofan', the original Atari XL version probably based on the C64 engine, had far better detail than what it should've been like on the C64. Also the fact that the arcade version was graphically superior with shiny metal sprites, smooth curves and much more, which was not so in the C64 original. However the great news is Retrofan is hard at work at turning the C64 Bomb Jack into what it should've been like when it first came out!

Batman - 1986 hit isometric classic [Recommended Remake]

It's time to take a look at the best of Remakes that are still available for you to try and today it's none other than Batman, the 1986 version. Batman at the time appeared on multiple platforms such as the Amstrad and ZX Spectrum, and it was published by Ocean Software. The game is of an 3D isometric view with a multitude of puzzles, which was also used in the hit game that many people remember, Head over Heels, developed by John Ritman and Bernie Drummond. The object of the Batman is to rescue Robin by collecting the seven parts of the Batcraft hovercraft that are scattered around the Batcave. With this Remake it pushes the game into the current generation, but still sticking as close as possible to the original.
