Hero Quest improved for the Amstrad CPC!

Way back in the early 90's a fantastic top down game based on an original board game was released by Gremlin, that became hugely popular to the point of receiving great reviews and ending up as one of the top most recommended games to have in any retro collection. That game was none other than ' Hero Quest ', a video game adaptation with a great soundtrack, of the fantasy board-game from Games Workshop and Milton Bradley. So you'll have to forgive my over excitement as I have just found out through Xenomorph, that Hero Quest is getting an improved version for the Amstrad CPC.

Sunday Remix! - A nice Amiga mix of music for today's tunes! (06/04/14)

Good evening readers, you may have noticed the lack of posts this weekend. That was due to me being unwell and also having to deal with a corrupt operating system and a busted soundcard. Thankfully, I was able to use the mac and pick some damn fine tunes for you today. Now today's tunes are all Amiga remixes unlike the recent retro head bangers, but that doesn't mean they don't sound as good! So as usual, sit back and enjoy but because some of these really are very famous games.
