The legend of Daisy : A Diz To The Past - Zaks is still being a pain in another Dizzy fan adventure!

If the other Dizzy game gave you the urge to go on another adventure, then how about 'The legend of Daisy : A Diz To The Past' (Legend of Zelda?), developed by Andrew Goulding (AndyG), which was only just released for the PC as a demo! In this game, just like the last one, Zaks is being a real annoyance, but unlike before, Zaks has stolen all of Dizzy's gathered money and declared himself emperor of a police state. It's down to you, to put a stop to him, which may involve a bit of time travel.

Highway Encounter - 80's retro shooter gets a PC remake

In 1985 Vortex Software released the puzzle shooting game ' Highway Encounter ' for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX and Commodore 64. It was voted in the top 100 ZX Spectrum games of all time and featured not just personal lives that look like Dalek's, but the use of these extra lives to push a bomb up a hazardous highway to the Alien base to blow it up. That same game viewed in a 3D isometric perspective has now been remade for the PC by Langford Productions

V*Bert - A rather wacky classic Q*Bert available for free!

In 1982 Gottlieb released a very famous game that had an orange character with a long snout as a nose, it just had to be the isometric arcade game with puzzle elements of ' Q*Bert '. It was so popular in fact it appeared on many systems such as the Atari 2600 and the C64 with a cameo appearance in Wreck-It Ralph. But today's game has turned Q*Bert on its head and is now known as V*Bert, developed by Mean Look, in which all the bugs and glitches you see in the game, are actually meant to be there!

Hurlements - A very old UBIsoft title is now a full PC remake

Way back in the late 80's that well known company of Ubisoft, released the graphical adventure game ' Hurlements ' for the Amstrad CPC 6128 as well as DOS based systems. It was to my knowledge a French game that few have heard of, but it was very similar to their other adventure game ' Zombi '. Which featured multiple areas, multiple characters, a first person viewpoint, command based icons and a task to get away to avoid being eaten. I'd love to say to you how awesome the game was, but this is the first time I've heard of the game, but now thanks to a developer by the name of Arnaud, he has ported the original retro title over to the PC as a full remake!

Bernband - City exploration in an unusual style

Probably one of the strangest games I've seen this year; an exploration game where you explore a uniquely designed city, in a hands out first person view point. Developed by Tom and recently uploaded to Gamejolt, you'll explore the city of the pff with 23 or more unique locations to discover that's both immersive and has a great atmosphere. The developer has also mentioned it's not about the scares as Bernband is a family friendly game.
