RetroForce - A great ZX Spectrum homage to the StarForce/MegaForce arcade game


The ZX-Dev conversions compo is really hotting up now with some seriously cool looking entries such as Gandalf, Gimmick! Yumetaro Odyssey and even Baby Monkey Alba. But now as a rather special treat to every ZX Spectrum owner across the globe, Climacus & KgMcNeil 2017 have released RetroForce.

Who Dares Wins - Retro classic as a remake on the MSX2 is finished!

Who Dares Wins - Retro classic set for a remake for the MSX2


Way back in 1985 Alligator Software was supposed to officially release 'Who Dares Wins' for the C64 but according to certain sites this game played very closely to Commando and thus was stopped by Elite. However many have mentioned that this game did appear and certain gamers did get their hands on it. As such thanks to Steve Evans he redesigned the levels and was able to release the game as Who Dares Wins 2. But the news of today isn't for the C64, it's actually for the MSX2 and what a special game this is going to be. Welcome to 'Who Dares Wins' for the MSX2 by the developers Retroforce, which is going to be given an overhauled remake, that may well be as good as the recent Commando Arcade on the C64.
