Dingo, A ZX Spectrum homebrew review by The Games Helmet


Dingoes - they may look all cute and cuddly like your Gran's Yorkshire terrier, but they're actually pretty annoying and ruthless - nasty little critters! Even so, in 1983 somebody decided to make an arcade game about them - in fact, they even named it after them! What we have here, then, is Sokurah's 2015 remake of "Dingo", reviewed in the style of "Your Sinclair" magazine by The Games Helmet. And remember, folks - be careful out there in the outback! Being eaten by a pack of wild dogs is probably a pretty unpleasant experience...

DINGO - High quality ZX Spectrum release gets an improved 1.3 update!


Hunting through the latest ZX Spectrum games for 2016, we came across a game that looked like it could've been sold by Ultimate Play the Game way back in the 80's. Sure enough, according to Tardis Remakes who remakes retro games for modern computers, and also remade this game. ' Dingo ' was an arcade machine game made by A.C.G – also known as ‘Ultimate Play the Game’ – in 1983 that looked very much like their classic Spectrum game ‘Sabre Wulf’. Also according to the remake creator, the game has never seen any other commercial releases, but he did remake it for the PC in 2008 for a competition, ported it to OSX in 2011 with a later game being premièred at the REPLAY EXPO in Blackpool with gorgeous looking physical cassette tapes and covers!
