Sqrxz Anthology Compilation - There's lots of Sqrxzing going on in this Amiga/PC package


Right from the word go we've been featuring pretty much all of the Amiga releases of Retroguru's run and jump platformer called Sqrxz; a challenging game series which put you in control of a lovable Rabbit and featured plenty of platforming fun as you move blocks about, avoiding enemies and collecting food, ice marbles or even shiny rings, such as in Sqrxz 3, in which you had to free your girlfriend kidnapped by the evil Yve. This rather lovely gaming series as the Amiga versions, Sqrxz, Sqrxz 2: Two Seconds Until Death, Sqrxz 3: Adventure For Love and Sqrxz 4: Cold Cash has been packaged up via TheCompany.PL and can be played on the PC

The Unofficial Gameboy Jam - Another game development jam in a Game Boy style


If you've had enough of ZX Spectrum games and want something fresh to experience, then you'll be pleased to know we have recently been informed that The Unofficial Gameboy Jam is now finished and there are 38 rather cool gameboy styled games to play. Just as in the case of the official #gbjam, developers from around the world came forward and created lots of lovely GameBoy themed games in the rules set by the #UOGBJAM, such as the GameBoy screen resolution of 160px x 144px and only 4 colours.

Fire Force - A Military action shooter from 1992 you might want to play


Put aside your Call of Duty and your Battlefield game, as we are going retro with the Amiga and the recently exe updated ' Fire Force ', that was just added to The Company.PL website with an updated 2.6 engine, improved game speed, improved trainer and a list of default keys! This rather cool action game released in 1992 by Ice could almost be described as a Green Beret clone, although compared to that game in this one you could change your load out, cut throats, plant explosives and even enter buildings!

LOWREZJAM - Over 200 rather cool and low rez games to play


A lot of good games have appeared today, but it's time to go beyond that and smash the barrier, as JackOatley's #LOWREZJAM 2017 is nearly finished and already there's 200 rather cool games to play! This unusual game Jam, in which people around the world came together to create their own uniquely styled games with a set resolution of 64x64 pixels. Features a wide range of genres ranging from an Another World inspired game, to a beat em up called 64 FISTS and even a F-Zero type game called Subshred!

Project-X - An Amiga Shoot em up you've just got to play


One of the greatest Shoot em ups I can remember, wasn't the all time classic R-Type, but Team 17's Project-X, which was not only released on the Amiga in 1992, but later ported to MS-DOS. It was a game for its time that excelled in graphics, sound and awesome wave blasting enemies that not only featured cool weaponry, but great powerups such as side defence, missiles and even speed ups. But if you've never played it and want to have a go, then Gamesnostalgia have done a PC/MAC packed version with inclusive Amiga emulator and game file.

Centiplode - Classic Arcade inspired game has crawled its way onto your mobile!


Surprisingly I don't play many games on my mobile, mainly for the fact many of them are rather rubbish, but today Gazzapper Games contacted us to let us know their Centipede inspired game has come to your Android and it's well worth playing. You see Centipede was released as a vertical fixed shooter by Atari in 1980 and also featured in the more recent Pixel movie, the game had you defending your garden against not just spiders and scorpions but also a rather nasty splitting Centipede!

Donkey Kong Plus - A fan game based on an Arcade Nintendo classic!


If you've been living in a cave or just too young, you'd probably wouldn't remember one of the greatest retro games of all time, the 1981 Nintendo game ' Donkey Kong '. A game in which you played as Mario that must avoid obstacles across a number of platforms, with sometimes a hammer in hand to save a damsel in distress from a giant ape called Donkey Kong. If however you do remember the game or just want to experience a freely available fan version, then here's one for you ' Donkey Kong Plus ' by Gojisaurus_Rex.

Sewers of d'Oh! - Ultrabrite's Arkanoid inspired game on the Pico-8 is great!


If you remember Arkanoid; an arcade game first developed by Taito in 1986 and Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh in 1987, with the bat like device scrolling from side to side at the bottom of the screen, bouncing an orb back and forth and smashing blocks for a high score, then you are really going to enjoy Ultrabrite's latest Pico-8 and PC browser based game of ' Sewers of D'oh!', which is free to play!

Assembly Summer 2017 - Gamedev competition games to play!


This Summer didn't just bring us the start of the ZX-Dev conversions compo, but we were kindly informed the other day that the Assembly Summer 2017 computer festival had finished and lots of demo's were shown off as a result. In fact it wasn't just music, graphics and scene demos that made an appearance, but there was also a gamedev compo which his since given many the chance to download and play ranging from a 1st place winner Crisis Wing - Caravan Edition by Pieslice Productions to the last place Bulldozage Inc. by Team Bulldozage.

Earthling Priorities - Sci-fi mini adventure is free to play and enjoy!


Our good friend Konstantinos Dimopoulos aka Mr Gnomeslair has recently contacted us through our twitter feed about his latest sci-fi mini adventure game Earthling Priorities, which is now available to play for FREE! This game developed after more than three years spent in quasi-development by a team of people such as Daniele Giardini, Jim Spanos and Chris Christodoulou, is a short, sci-fi, comedic adventure that gives a bit of a nod to that golden classic Space Quest!

Worm Wars 9.0 - Play with lots of worms in this Tron/Snake-style arcade game!


Another new addition to the retro line up, is Amigan Software's latest update ' Worm Wars 9.0 ', which is an advanced Tron/Snake-style arcade game for up to 4 simultaneous players, available for AmigaOS 2-3, AmigaOS 4 and Windows. In this game you must either win against other players or the AI by getting the highest possible score and not wiping out all of your health by touching tails or other oddities on the screen.

Whitewater Madness - Move over Toobin you've got destructive competition (Atari STe)


I'm pretty sure many of you remember the Arcade game 'Toobin' by Atari Games, a game which featured two player fun in a competitive river race as you bounced off each other avoiding obstacles to get to the finish line. But now imagine a very similar game but this time you're in a powerful ship of some kind travelling through time to collect energy cells while also shooting at deadly hazards such as giant water beasts. Welcome to ' Whitewater Madness ' a game which was under development in 1989 by Scott Williamson and Ed Schneider designed specifically for their new Atari STe computer!

Galaxy Rebel Force - Multi-directional arcade shooter with retro inspirations


We get a lot of messages from developers showing us their indie games and asking us to write about them, well to be honest although most of them do appear on our site, I always like to go back to the little guy and give them as much support as I can. One such developer that certainly has my backing is Hijong Park with his latest game Galaxy Rebel Force. Classed as a multi-directional arcade shooter, this game is inspired by asteroids and sinistar and will challenge you back and forth as you blast away lots of enemies on screen, with only your shield and charge shots to keep you safe

Ween: The Prophecy - A very unique but well worth playing Amiga game! (PC/MAC)


It's time to mention a game that I have been wanting to replay for a very long time, a point and click adventure that is both unique and full of charm and was released in 1992/3 for DOS, Amiga, and Atari ST. That game is ' Ween: The Prophecy ', a very hard to find adventure that was developed by Coktel Vision and published by Sierra On-Line, which has since been listed on Gamesnostalgia as a PC/MAC playable download that you really should be playing right now!

TERROR OF THE VAMPIRE! - A charming adventure game that looks well worth playing!


We haven't featured many Adventure games lately, so change all that the first game for mention is ' Terror of the Vampire ', which we feel really stands out as it looks positively brilliant! This game by Eggie, Scavenger, and Samael, was created for the MAGS June Special Edition "Rescue", which means the game was entered for a competition and had to fit a rescue theme. In regards to the story,  In the vaguely 19th century, in vaguely Eastern Europe, a vampire menace grips the countryside! The menace of superstition and the belief that vampires exist! Join Dr. Ego Goodmind, BHD, as he does research for his newest psychology book, The Empirical Vampirical.

Dungeon Master - One of the greatest Dungeon Crawlers ready for download!


From the very first time I got my Amiga 500 I've never stopped loving dungeon crawlers, from the extremely popular and famous crawler Dungeon Master, to my personal favourite Eye of the Beholder, each one I've spent many hours playing. But today's news I think will pass the time for many, as thanks to a heads up by GameNostaliga via our twitter page, one of the most amazing Dungeon Crawlers of all time ' Dungeon Master ' has been packed together with the Amiga frontend emulator FS-UAE and made easily launchable on a PC.

Void Quest - #advjam2017 game is inspired by Sierra classics!


Love playing Adventure games? Check! Love those old Sierra Kings Quest style graphics with text based commands? Check! Then 'Void Quest', developed by a fan of Sierra games as icefallgames for the #AdvJam2017, is just the game for you! Made in just two weeks, Void Quest will take you back to the good old days, where finding something mysterious and indescribable might lead to your own death, again and again!

CGA JAM - Another Jam ends with 136 entries to be played and voted


If you were keeping an eye on the site recently, you would've seen that Gazzapper's 'ZX Spectrum BASIC Jam' had ended for entries and provided you with over 24 games to play, all designed with Sinclair BASIC. However there's another game jam that has finished with still votes to be given, and that's Kronbits 'CGA JAM', which again gave users the opportunity to create a game as long as it fits the criteria of the competition, in this case as a Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) game.

Lords Of Chaos - A brilliant turn based fantasy strategy retrogame playable on PC


I know there's many of you out there at this time watching the E3 2017 show and drooling at many of the latest games, but for some of us going back in time and re-playing some old favourites will do just fine. So now we look towards the recent addition to appear on The Company.PL's website ' Lords of Chaos ', which was first released by Blade Software in 1990 and appeared on the Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Amiga and ZX Spectrum!

RedPill games competition - AmigaWave aimed high with a new game-making contest!


We've just been contacted by kikems through the EAB forums, of a number of games that have been made available through the AmigaWave Redpill games competition, that is sure to impressive even the most hardy of Amiga gamers. This competition which looks to have ended earlier in June was run by AmigaWave creators of Else We Get Mad! and revolved around the creation of games using the newest of Amiga game creation software, RedPill. This creation software could well be the best yet as going by what we've seen so far, it supports very smooth frame rates and great design features.
