Body Blows - Kicking ass in this retro review from DarkwyndPT


I would like to start this review with a letter I wrote to Team17 some years ago (not really, but let’s imagine I did): “Dear Team17,

My name is DarkwyndPT (not my real name, obviously) and I’m a big fan of your work, especially the Worms series. Me and my friends have spent countless hours playing these games, killing each other’s virtual worms (that sounded weird). I also enjoy the Alien Breed series, despite not being my cup of tea.

Body Blows - Team 17's Amiga fighter available on the PC and MAC


Remember when I said I had more Gamesnostalgia mentions to come, well here's the next one, the Amiga's answer to Street Fighter, ' Body Blows ' by Team 17 way back in 1993. This was according to many Amiga game mags of the time, one of the best beat em ups money can buy, a true corker and one such mag The One even said "If you thought Streetfighter II was the business, think again" . A game worthy to be on the Amiga indeed, released for both AGA and non AGA models and much better than the PC port version, hence mentioning this one instead!
