Toki Retrollector Edition announced and coming to the Nintendo Switch


Way back in 1989 a designer by the name of Akira Sakuma released a fantastic Arcade shooter platformer game in which you controlled an enhanced Ape transformed from a Human that could shoot energy balls from his mouth defeating strange creatures and finally defeat an evil Wizard.  It was a really good game that had a number of ports such as the NES, Sega Mega Drive, Atari Lynx, Atari ST, Amiga and Commodore 64. So you'll be pleased to know Microids will be bringing the remixed edition to the Nintendo Switch November 22nd 2018!

Genesia - If you loved Populous or Settlers then check this Amiga-PC classic out


In 1993 Microids and Software Toolworks released a brilliant strategy game called Ultimate Domain (Genesia) for the Amiga. It was very similar to other classic strategy games of that time, as you started in the 17th century and had to colonize the new world, but also having to search for 'The Seven Jewels of Genesia'. It was one of my most favourite strategy games of all time and I was rather pleased to hear from our good friends The Company.PL, that they have made available the Amiga to PC playable release that everyone can pick up and play without setting up emulators.

Xyphoe plays through all the Microids games on the Amstrad CPC!


Vive La France! Xyphoe takes an Amstrad CPC journey exploring all the games released by French developer and publisher "Microids" who still exist today! Microids heavily supported the Amstrad CPC and for most of the 80's the Amstrad was their primary target platform. Their games are known for trying different concepts and styles from the 'norm' and often featured lovely colourful graphics and animation. As you will find, not all their games were a success however neither did they release any real stinkers! So this is a kind of a "Let's play" video of sorts, unscripted and unrehearsed, but hopefully a lot of fun!
