Games 101 - Epic Retro Game Compilations

It was a popular video and so I have adapted the long-view format to suit a whole range of video gaming genres and topics. Games 101 is that series, and the first show looks at the long history of arcade shoot 'em ups. 101 games in 101 minutes. Enjoy.

Compilation Dune Duology - Dune & Dune II, two amazing Amiga classics now PC Playable!

Game Type : Adventure, RTS
Games in Compilation : Dune, Dune II: The Battle For Arrakis
Launcher Developer :  The Company.pl
Game Info  : The Company.pl has once again released another set of Amiga classics and this time it's none other than Dune & Dune II. Whereas Dune by Cyro is a 1992 Adventure/Strategy video game, based upon Frank Herbert's science fiction novel - Dune II: is based upon David Lynch's 1984 movie Dune and is an RTS released in 92-93. Although in both games you are tasked to mine the spice from the desert planet Arrakis, in the first game it is far more Adventure based in the fact you talk to people, hire allies and defeat the Harkonnen. The second game has far more dominance in our minds as it was one of the greatest RTS games ever released and developed by a very famous company, Westwood. Dune II established the format that would be followed for years to come and laid the foundation for many great games such as the Command & Conquer series. Your task in the second game unlike the first is to deliver the most spice for Emperor Frederick IV and pay off his debts, but be warned as you are up against the Atreides, Harkonnen, and Ordos (depending on who you play). Build bases, harvest the most spice, defeat the enemy and claim the planet as your own, a planet full of spice!  Now thanks to The Company.pl you can play these amazing Amiga classics on your PC.

Lets go #FlappyJam crazy, with a FlappyJam compilation!

Say hello to probably one of the most rage worthy game experiences of 2014, a game so frustrating you'll not just be tapping but probably punching the screen in frustration. Yet it's incredibly addictive! And thanks to #FlappyJam Indie developers have come together to show their support for the Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen and produce their own Flappy-inspired games.

Abandoned Places compilation - An Amiga dungeon crawler series set above and below ground (PC playable!)

Game Type : Dungeon Crawler RPG
Amiga Launcher Developer : The Company.pl
Original Developer : ArtGame
Compilation : Abandoned Places 1 & 2
Game Info : Over the last few weeks I've had the pleasure of beta testing the new The Company.pl release of Abandoned Places 1 & 2 from 1992/93, which includes cheat trainers. This series may not be as good as Dungeon Master or even Eye of the Beholder but it does include both above and below ground areas of combat and exploration. I also liked the fact that your characters can starve and need food, you can also visit towns and locations on the world map. Two good games, however AB2 was more of a let down over 1, with the first dungeon in AB2 being extremely tedious to get out of and didn't rate highly in retro reviews either. Also not much in the way of stat development and no auto-map. But enough about that, if you want to explore different dungeons, secret areas, find loot and fight enemies in a grid based system, then check out these two games re-released for the PC in a single exe!

#CandyJam Compilation! - Lots of free games that might get sued by the King! ;)

Welcome to #CandyJam which was created to protest trademark trolling and absurd trademark laws.  Especially King with it's trademarking of the word CANDY, which has angered many a gamer! All of these games in the #CandyJam include "candy" in the title. They can also include words such as  "saga", "scroll", "edge", "memory", and "apple", words that have also caused the odd battle with trademark issues. Some of the games listed are pretty good, so check out the interesting games below and play for FREE!

Compilation Turrican Trilogy - A historic Platform Shooter series, free! (Pc Playable)

Game Type : Action, Platformer, Shooter
Amiga Launcher Developer : The Company.pl 
Original Amiga Developer : Factor 5(Amiga)
Game Info : Welcome to an all time classic game, a historic game if you will. A game that is set in the heart of millions of Retro fans across the world. Welcome to Turrican, which was originally programmed and designed by Manfred Trenz (1989/90). It also first came out on the C64, and then appeared on a multitude of systems under different developers, such as, Factor 5(Amiga). You are Turrican, a warrior, bio-engineered for the task of planetary reclamation. To return to The lost colony of Alterra and defeat the MORGUL while fighting it's many hostile creatures. This series of games had the most awesome of sound tracks by Chris Hülsbeck, which are still being remixed today. It also had, not just brilliant action based shooting (with a weapon that fired in different ways), but also some of the best looking platform scenery. I won't go into to much detail in this, as if I get it wrong, I'll be linched by the many Turrican fans! Suffice to say, you just have to play it. What's more, this isn't just the first Turrican for you to try, but Turrican 2 and Turrican 3. Thanks to The Company.pl the Amiga version has been released/updated to version 2.6 so you can now play this on your PC with higher graphical filters

Amiga Music: Daxx Compilation ( Earth shattering music list! )

I've listened to some pretty intense tunes in my time, from many different artists using the Amiga or other classic systems, including the C64. But Daxx takes it to a new level, I'd class him as a leader amongst the retro remix music industry. So here it is, this is the Daxx Compilation, using the ProTracker 3.61 on the Amiga. Be warned though, if Techno, Trance, Hardstyle is not your thing then look away now. However he has alot of great Amiga game remixes under his music belt as well! So put your headphones on or your speakers at full blast, it's time to go mental!
