Diggers - This PC fan-remake of a classic strategy and puzzle like Amiga/DOS game looks fantastic

Well this is fantastic news especially if you had either an Amiga or PC(DOS), as Mhatxotic is working on a remake of the classic strategy and puzzle-like game called 'Diggers'. A 90's title that was developed and published by Millennium Interactive for the Amiga and PC. A game in which the player takes control of a mining team excavating a planet for precious minerals. To coincide with this news, of which I'm excited to try out later, the developer has provided the full details below.

If you have an Amstrad CPC, C16, C64 or any of the other systems listed via the main page then this news is going to surprise you, as trawling through the Plus/4 world Facebook page, we've found out that Fabrizio Caruso has released his multi-system arcade blaster of 'Stinger'. As in the words of the developer, Stinger is a shooter with power-ups, 6 different levels, 5 different enemies, and several items to pick up. To coincide with this news, as ever we have some footage of the game being played below.

It's time to put the Amiga and C64 news aside and look towards an Adventure game that may excite those who played Adventure games throughout the 90's. As we've recently been informed through our email and Twitter, that Tall Story Games Ltd humorous point and click adventure game of 'Lucy Dreaming' has finally been released through Steam, Itch io and Apple. To coincide with this news you can either watch the trailer below or check out the latest Demo of the game which is still available as a try before you buy.

Skool Daze - A retro childhood classic is coming back on Mobile and Tablets!

A fantastic news story has just reached our inbox today and also thanks to a hearty mention by Chris Wilkins (Fusion Retro Books), is Alternative Software's upcoming Skool Daze remake which is coming to mobile and tablets very soon. It's incredible to think that Skool Daze was first released way back in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum and C64 created by David Reidy. It was the only game of its time, that gave you the experience of being at school, while also being an unruly child trying to steal a report card from the headmaster's safe before your parents end up seeing it. So you can see why I'm just that little bit excited to play this remake as the game is a very nostalgic experience for me, even if I was a good boy at school.

Lawless Legends - Retro styled RPG crawler gets new footage!

What do you get if you add in a touch of the original classic Ultima, a slice of the old Might and Magic, and add in a gun slinging blend of the Wild West? Most likely ' Lawless Legends ', which is a fantasy role playing game set in the wild west for the Apple II, C64, & other modern platforms!  The game has been in development for some time now but already the gameplay, the detail and everything else about the game, certainly does give us an early indication of a worthy retro inspired title that may come out in 2016. To coincide with this news, the developers have for the last couple of months released more media through their website and Facebook.

Hungrynaut - An insane game from Torpedrogames

What do you get if you mix Flappy Bird, VVVVVV and someone with a huge appetite? You get Hungrynaut by TorpedroGames. A game that has you as an astronaut zipping through a space station in Zero Gravity while trying to eat as many burgers as possible to satisfy his ridiculous hunger. Sound easy? Wrong, it isn't! The space station is covered in deadly spikes through an endless high score system, which you must avoid by changing gravity with a tap of your finger. However one wrong tap and its *SPLAT*.

AVP : Evolution - Aliens for iOS

A new Aliens Versus Predator from the developers Angry Mob Games, has appeared for iOS devices and it looks pretty impressive going by the trailer and screenshots. Don't worry this has nothing to do with Gearbox or Sega, so they haven't screwed this one up. This is AVP Evolution whereby you play as both the Alien and Predator, in a face off as if it's straight from the movies.

Time Surfer - physics-based slingshot gameplay : (iOS)

An unusual gameplay genre, but with the high quality art style that I expect of the developer Kumobius, it's Time Surfer. This iOS designed title, mashes up two very different game ideas to make something new. Apparently mixing Tiny Wing’s simple physics-based slingshot gameplay and Braid’s mind-bending time reversal. Which comes to a result of a twitch-based, time-rewinding, amped-up ride across the fabric of time and space. Something that certainly suits the iOS and any other handheld devices!

AsKaryl's Grimoire - Gamebook with an amazing trailer (iOS)

I for one am not into Gamebooks, to be honest I don't even like reading Books, but the trailer in this game just made my jaw drop, it's pretty incredible. The game is called Karyl's Grimoire and unlike most stories, your choices affect how the story unfolds and your decisions have a direct impact on the story’s events, the journey your hero takes and the conclusion he ultimately faces.
